To think most parents these days don't consider their baby's names for when they are adults..

[LondonAnne5]

Just that really.

I've lost count of the amount of times I've seen someone post a picture on their feed of their newborn with a name that is either really, really different or something that the child may not enjoy being called in the future when they are a teenager/adult...

E.g. Billi Mucklow naming her new baby boy Wolf Nine. It's different, yes and okay when he is a baby but I'm just imagining a professional middle aged businessman named Wolf and can't picture it.

I grew up with a very different name that is often mispronunced and is also a bit "babyish" for my age now which I do find awkward in a professional environment.
AIBU and alone in thinking this?

I love that Longtime it never gets boring.

Surely wolf is a diminutive of Wolfgang a very old name

My DC has a more interesting first name and two boring but family names as middle names so he has something to choose from if he wants. I’ve seen the number of unusual/non-traditional names since I’ve been teaching increase rapidly and so i think inevitably there will be high court judges called Marley Jones or Professors called Jaxon Price in the future. It only seems odd or inappropriate because we are used to Charles or Emily etc as the frequent names of them now.

You never know what names people will find weird... I have a classic English name but unfortunately wasn't born anywhere near England and was bullied horrendously for having a weird name.

The worst bully was a boy named Tarragon

Half the small children I know have unconventional names. One is a Wolf.

Won’t this just be normal in their generation? As well as increasing multiculturalism won’t they just think it normal that the manager is called Priti and assistant manager is Wolf and the team includes Xanthe, Kamaljit, Phoenix, Dimple and Indigo? (All real names of people I’ve met.)

I think it’ll make people more tolerant and open minded, as well as less likely to assume gender or race which will be good for equality.
