Relatable. Sometimes I wish my last name was easier to pronounce but then again it's sorta fun watching people (especially teachers) struggle to read it. Also, I always thought you were Mexican, are you also part Filipino?

I am Mexican but due to the Spanish that colonized Mexico and the Philippines the last name became common in the Philippines are rarer in Mexico
 
The dumbest piece of advice I’ve ever heard regarding baby names is the advice to revitalise a common name with a unique spelling. Two of the examples they gave were Leeyum (Liam) and Kharlotte (Charlotte).

If you like a name, don’t faff with the spelling. Your child won’t get hoards of people telling them what a cool name they have; they’ll get hoards of people misspelling their name.

Otherwise the best I can hope fore is to have my child be carefree and not care about what others think in an early age. Regardless, I appreciate your input Batto

You're welcome. I wouldn't count on your child being immune to peer pressure and bullying especially at a young age. An unusual name is no guarantee for greatness, success etc. Some of the most fascinating people had the most basic names.

If you feel like choosing peculiar names, better use them for your pets or house plants, not your children. ;)

Same lol. My name is Harish and it's pronounced Har-ee-sh. I've heard Hair-ish (most common one), Harsh, and even Hamish (ended up being my nickname for the rest of the year :rolleyes:) from a sub one time. Don't even get me started on my last name, it's 13 letters long and only some of my closest friends have learned to pronounce it correctly.

For me it is Raa-hoool as opposed to Rahul
 
Our friends had a little boy a few months ago and called him Dwayne. Lovely name, lovely little lad.
Pity the Surname is Pipe.


:p:D

The older brother of a friend of mine went to school with a guy called "Rainer Zufall", which can be interpreted as a pun on "Reiner Zufall" = Random Chance. Probably a cruel joke of his parents, maybe in regard to the circumstances of his conception?

I don’t think any kid of mine would have to worry about having a “weird” because chances of me having a kid is low.

we'll see about that... I just think I may not face such surprises (which probably is a surprise for my parents)

Despite my doomer outlook towards the world and my self-hatred, I still dream of being a father of some tiny people of my own (maybe around 3). I acknowledge that being a father is a tough job and that I still have a very long way to go, but I am sure a man can dream, right?

One think I think about when dreaming about having children, it is the name I’d be giving to them. There’s many to choose from but I can’t make enough children to give all those names to. But regardless many names come to mind when it comes to names I’d give to a child. And here’s my list.

Samuray (I first heard this name through a family friend of mine who’s cousin bears the name. The name is a combination of the words Samur (word used to describe mustelids) and ay (moon). When I asked what the name would mean in Turkish I was told that it was used to refer a crescent moon. Sounds cool.)

Hayko/Heiko (I like how it sounds)

Cengiz/Genghis (I like how it sounds)

Kamuran (sounds cool)

Lark (I think it sounds cute)

Wren (I think it sounds nice)

Suna (girls name which means shelduck in Turkish. Sounds nice and easier to pronounce than Ceylan (gazelle in Turkish) which is the only other Turkish girls name I know that’s based on an actual animal)

Sidney (sounds good)

Chester (sounds good and while I am yet to go there, I would get out of my way to actually name my child after the zoo)

Karsak (Turkic word for corsac fox. It just sounds cool.)

Lale/Tulip (despite sounding different, both mean the same thing (the flover) and I would give both names to the same individual if possible)

Joseph (while that is the name of my psychotic roommate when I was in FL, it is also the name of the teacher who changed my perception of math. I am not a math fan but I at least am able to respect maths thanks to this teacher.)

Burgundy (to be fair, this is a name that I would give to a female Eurasian boar if I ever have one. But it still sounds cool on a human)

These are the names that I can think of so far. I might expand the list more once I remember more. Feel free to call these names cringe or suggest names that may be great.
