@PortiasBiscuit @RandomMusings7 why can someone with a cool name not get a job/live with dignity? I have an incredibly unique name I believe - often on these lists as 'out there/too difficult to pronounce/weird'. I've never had an issue getting jobs in traditional industries.

Some people love the status quo and enjoy judging people’s baby name choices. I don’t mean employers, I mean posters like the ones above.

My MIL is like this. She likes being mean about people’s babies’ names. Rolls her eyes at everyone’s name choice unless they give their children a “George” or “Amelia” type name. One of her nieces named their daughter Ellie, not Ellen or Eleanor, just Ellie. MIL talked about how appalled she was by this for MONTHS.

Yawn.

You can’t call a baby Ace ffs. He’s not one of the Gladiators. Please, please let this be for a book your writing rather than an actual human child.

When I saw Ace, my first thought was, some nasty bastard at school is going to add Hole to that.

Perhaps I just went to school with nasty bastards.

I don't know any younger child who has bullied another kid for having a bad name. Kids can suit any name young or old and they all come back around. Can't say that for kids called Blue which is a colour or Asda which is a supermarket. That's a parent trying to be cool but setting the child up for a lifetime of embarrassment

Our son is called Maverick and we get a great reaction. I love his name and it really suits him, Obviously it's very American and a popular name in the US. We just get asked if we are huge top gun fans.

These days any name goes. Whatever you call your baby you'l get someone being an ar*sehole about it. Just pick a name you love.
