they work in fashion so I assume that they think its 'cool'.. but I find it ridiculous, up there with Apple... middle name is persian and doesnt match at all.

what do you say when you need to pretend the baby name is ok?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

hmmm.... how about - "how unusual, not come across it before, what made you use that name" and then they can tell you the whole story and they will think that as you are interested you like it

boy from outnumbered is tyger maybe that influenced them

bit weird if the child is a bit meek

Nothing, you just act as though they have told you a name you consider to be "normal", they chose a name for their child, please don't insult it.

When this has happened in the past, I have said 'What a cool/unusual name'. Then move the convo on to something else.

Can you not just grit your teeth and pretend to like it?
