As someone with a name that is a slight variation in spelling and pronunciation of a common name, I'm so tired of explaining that don't even correct people about it anymore. Please name your kid something fucking normal.

Sigurd is good but they took it too far with the middle names.

Leviathan is just fucking awesome. Imagine some big power lifter dude and he's named Leviathan.

"Cool, but what's his real name?"

"That IS his real name"

A lot of these people grew up being called "The Black Kim" or "The Fat Jessica" because there are only so many standard names. Think about what that does your self esteem? All of your experience is summed up as "Fat Jessica" for the entirety of your formative years.

Further, I am one of 15 people in my company with the same first name, and 3 of which have the same first name, last name. I spent easily an hour per pay period forwarding emails to the correct parties.

I get the concept but it's a bit too far.

"Nayeli Pixie" is definitely a misspelled stripper name though.

Ngl, I find some of these Hella cute. But I'm also someone who loves creative/unique names (to a point). I don't like offensive/obvious sponsorship/stupid joke names (the infamous "Ladasha" spelled "La-A" or "Absidy" spelled "ABCDE")

But I think Rocklyn and Brexleigh are adorable names for little girls! I'd probably spell it Brexley though.

Then again, when I was growing up I liked the name "Huxley' as a gender-neutral name for a future child, so, do with that what you will

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

Rocklyn sounds too much like Brooklyn (which some people also name their kids unfortunately) and Brexley sounds like Brexit.

So how many of these people are Mormon?

I’m guessing that Brexleigh’s parents are British and get their news from tabloid newspapers.
