    The solution is to put all of the uniqueness in the middle name. Then you still get to feel “special” while not forcing your kid to go by “tragedeigh” or whatever.

    When I chose my name - I made my first as milquetoast and appropriate to my age as possible. My middle I went balls out - I guarantee I have a cooler middle name than you do.

            Funnily enough, I’ve seen some compelling criticism of good old D & K.

            The original paper by Dunning and Kruger starts with the quote: “It is one of the essential features of incompetence that the person so inflicted is incapable of knowing that they are incompetent.” This idea has spread far and wide through both scientific literature and pop culture alike. But according to the work of my colleagues and me, the reality is that very few people are truly unskilled and unaware. The Dunning and Kruger experiment did find a real effect – most people think they are better than average. But according to my team’s work, that is all Dunning and Kruger showed. The reality is that people have an innate ability to gauge their competence and knowledge. To claim otherwise suggests, incorrectly, that much of the population is hopelessly ignorant.

    I named my son Jaxin because my wife wanted Jax and I didn’t want my son to have a dog’s name.

    I regret not just naming him Jackson because nobody in Taiwan knows how to pronounce Jaxin.

      Hate to pile on, but could have done Jackson and then called him Jax for short just as easily. Hell Dick is short for Richard, short names don’t have to be spelled the same.

      I don’t have an issue with that depending on where you are. It’s a nice name but lends itself well to a shortening of nahzee. In my area of the US and in the UK they often pronounce Nazi as Naht-zee so I don’t think it’s as bad as it could be.

          It is unusual and I don’t like it, but I wouldn’t say it is bad. If I liked the person I would probably come to like the name.

          I have no interest in having children, and if I did I wouldn’t name them Tayden, but if somehow both of those things were true, I certainly wouldn’t spell it Teighden.

    I had a customer once at an old job whose name was spelled Deborah. Seems completely normal until she got super mad at me for calling her “Debra” because I was somehow supposed to know her name was pronounced “Deb-Or-Ah”. With the “Or” being stressed.
