#unique names

[hometoursandotherstuff]

As a children's librarian, the names I see are sometimes clever, but sometimes, I wonder how can you do that to your child?

I had a girl whose name was La - a. The staff called her La. I said, "No, I think it's Laya." The mother called and yelled at us for calling her daughter by the wrong name. It's La Dash A. Get it, the dash in the middle is pronounced.

My neighbor's tenant admired The Pagans Motorcycle Club, so he named his son Pagan. I was saying, "No, I think it's Hagan."

Another man who was a Navy veteran named all of his children after Naval titles: Captain, Admiral, etc.

Based on a post I just saw that I don't wanna interact with but here I say again

NAME YOUR CHILDREN WHATEVER YOU WANT

Stop telling people they're "messing up" a child's life bc they have a fun name. Stop it. A person's childhood/baby name SHOULD bring their parents joy and be something that makes their family happy to say every day. When they get older they'll probably change it, most ppl I know at the very least have a nickname, it's pretty normal to not use your baby name your entire life actually

It's fine. It's really fine.

All I hear when people say "Oh but they'll be made fun of" is "Oh I'm gonna make fun of them". Because really other kids don't give a FUCK. I've know people throughout my life with "unique" names and they're fucking fine, if they hated it they changed it, if not they have a beautiful legacy from parents that love them and wanted them to have something precious, just for them. Adults used to make fun of my name, not be able to pronounce it, spell it, try to give me nicknames against my will and guess what? Now when I tell people my name they think it's beautiful. Why? Because it's only adults of the generation before who just like to pick on kids they deem different.

You're fine.

Name your kid whatever and love them.

How does one deal with family or cultural expectations for a baby name?

Choosing a name for a baby is a significant decision, and it is not uncommon for parents to experience pressure from family or cultural expectations. While some parents may want to honor their family’s traditions or culture, others may want to break away and choose a name that feels more personal or unique to them. Whatever the case may be, it’s essential to find a balance that satisfies both the…

Listen, those Braxton-and-Ashlayeigh mums are becoming self aware. Had a lady come into the library the other day and update some info on a kid called Montesa…while I’m trying desperately to find this girl (I’d spelt her last name wrong), this mum goes “oh yeah curse us millenial mums right *laughs nervously*”
