      Very much agree. It’s cruel to give kids these over the top weird names, it invites harassment.

        Absolutely. There are certain types of names that should honestly just be illegal, and are in some countries. For me, as the level of weirdness goes up, it actually becomes ok and then not OK again, a couple times

        From least to most unconventional:

        • Common names ✅
        • Uncommon names ✅
        • War criminal names ❌
        • Misspelled common names like “Gianathunn” ✅ fine but why, why??
        • Profanity or any kind of plain-language degrading like “fuckass” or “dumpsterwater”❌
        • Common names where you arbitrarily assign letters and claim they represent different sounds "Oh it’s pronounced Johnathan, spelled like ‘Pppppppp’❌
        • Common words that don’t even sound like a name, like naming your kid fuckin "Best One or “And The” or some shit, so every time someone says their name everyone else thinks they had a stroke❌
        • Completely unique invented names that don’t sound like any word ✅ Just typin out random letters like “Bandalagika” or “Diunchip” doesn’t bother me at all because you assume it has to be a name
        • Literally unpronounceable names ❌ Fuck you
