Please don't give your kid a boring name.

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Please do. They can then pick a super cool nickname themselves later in life

You don't get to pick your nickname.

Sure, Zarkanian

My first name was the most popular baby name in my country for, like, every year of the 90s, and I think it has been in the top ten for a century, right up until today. 10000% agree. My name was never [name], it was always [name][number]. In both primary school and secondary school, even [name][initial of last name] wasn't unique. Really fucked with my identity development growing up. And people made fun of it all the time, too.
