Iām an [name_f]English[/name_f] Literature and Composition teacher and the use of [name_u]Poet[/name_u] doesnāt bother me at all. Neither do names that donāt seem to āhave a long history of use as a nameā (but sometimes, people just need to do some research and they will find that it does have quite a history).
So, my hot take: I canāt stand when people think a name isnāt a name or is made up without having done any research on them. Besides, where do they think all names came from? Hint: A LOT from occupations. And ALL āmade upā at some point.
Hot take: I love, love, love surname-names. I would never use any except a select few if I ever had kids (my surname makes a good name, my motherās maiden name does not,) but theyāre all so distinguished-sounding. [name_u]Monroe[/name_u], Lemery, [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m], [name_f]Hensley[/name_f], Schafer are so lovely, although they have varying degrees of use.
People do use [name_m]Blade[/name_m], [name_u]Blaze[/name_u], Morana, [name_f]Mahala[/name_f], [name_m]Apollo[/name_m], [name_m]Perseus[/name_m], [name_m]Cormac[/name_m], [name_u]Brennan[/name_u], [name_f]Polly[/name_f], [name_f]Lola[/name_f], [name_f]Lolita[/name_f], [name_f]Dolores[/name_f] as namws
Which are all established names and are not commonly associated with unwanted destruction. Wildfires are only going to happen more often in the coming years (thanks to climate change), so the term will only become more negative.
Iām not saying itās unusable, but I donāt think it compares to names like Wilder or Perseus (which also has the god association, which isnāt negative).
For me, dog names donāt even have to do with how many dogs versus humans are named those namesā itās purely vibe
which is why [name_u]Scout[/name_u] and [name_u]Max[/name_u] are solidly dog names while [name_m]Rusty[/name_m] and [name_u]Roscoe[/name_u] are perfect for humans
This is irrelevant, but Iām sorry, [name_u]Beau[/name_u] is not a girls name! Well, at least not grammatically it is. Youāre free to name your daughter whatever you want but for some reason it slightly triggers me when people try to say itās unisex. [name_u]Beau[/name_u] is a masculine adjective in [name_u]French[/name_u] meaning āhandsomeā, itās as close to boy as you can get without the name literally being boy. The correct feminine version would be [name_f]Belle[/name_f]. Now I highly doubt anybody would even consider naming their son [name_f]Belle[/name_f] now would they? Lol.
[name_u]Bo[/name_u], however is neutral. You can even do [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] if youāre willing.
[name_f]Imagine[/name_f] a dog named [name_u]Logan[/name_u]. A dog named [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. A dog named [name_m]Raphael[/name_m]. A dog named [name_m]Fitzwilliam[/name_m] and a dog named [name_u]Darcy[/name_u]. ()
Not a hot take, but does anyone have the link to the thread where we can report the descriptions of names? Myrnaās description is terrible (NB descriptions of international names areā¦yikes).
There is nothing inherently wrong with it, I was just using it as an example of names with dark meanings. According to babynames.com, Polly means āGreat Sorrowā
)
Itās one of my top girl names so Iād just like to know.
