I think we can view naming as a parenting choice, and those should be discussed in society because not everyone will be aware of every possible consequence of a choice.
That is not to say you should go up to somebody in the store and criticise them, whether itās for yelling at their child or naming their little girl Jane-Austen; but I do think in a broader, non-confrontational discussion, it is helpful to look at names and their usability and give advice based on that (just like it would be with other parenting choices).
Personally I find myself to be even more conservative when it comes to names than the average [name_u]Berry[/name_u] because I donāt subscribe to the idea that if parents love a name they should use it; to me, that doesnāt go together with the often very child-orientated parenting advice found on here as well.
and i do see this side of it as well! i think you bring up a great point of the parenting side of it, which makes complete sense. it also seems that the criticism comes in different ways and forms, and i really like your opinion on that, thank you.
(also, unrelated, but jane-austen would be kinda cute without the actual person in question! 
)
I do think it would be a favourite of quite a few people on here, I also could see it being popular in the US south!
And I definitely agree about criticising the names of real people, thereās no use in doing that!
[name_f]Every[/name_f] time read [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] in my head I read it as Cosmia for some reasonā¦ the typo version is so much better 
Is it weird that I kind of agree with your sister?
If thatās your style nothin wrong with that! Itās just very much not mine
Okay, [name_f]Bambi[/name_f] is cute. Like I really love it. Like, itās my NOTD.
I absolutely adore [name_f]Bambi[/name_f], thatās a gp of mine.
[name_f]My[/name_f] hot take: Iām not a fan of [name_f]Lottie[/name_f] as nn for [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] or any other names that ends in ālotteā, I much prefer [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] as a nn.
Also [name_m]Benny[/name_m] as a nn for [name_f]Berenice[/name_f], [name_f]Benjamina[/name_f] or [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f] is super cute or even by itself
Me either! How many people know they are variations, and even if they do, they donāt sound the same! Unless they are Izzy and Lizzy or Belle and Beth, I think it is ok.
Iāve known people with the middle Austin and a first of a 1 syllable name starting J, but only guys.
This!
I recently saw [name_f]Daniela[/name_f] mistyped as Danilea and thought thatās a prettier name by far 
Yeah, Iām aware my name style is different than most peoplesā
i actually really love [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] on a little boy 
same here !!! vyvyan too, like oscar wildeās soon !!!
To be fair, [name_m]Philip[/name_m] is supposed to be a family name for them. (Cecilia āCiciā is also a real life family name for [name_f]Jenna[/name_f] [name_m]Fischer[/name_m]- itās her niece!)
yes!
YES!
Thatās Drakeās first name!
PEOPLE USING NAMES FROM THEIR OWN CULTURE IS NOT AN ANNOYING TREND I saw a comment on another forum about being annoyed by people using names of different cultures when they canāt easily pronounce it. Just cause you canāt say a name the first time you see it doesnāt make it hard to pronounce, you just have to have put in some effort
EXCITEMENT OVERLOAD
IT HAS BEEN USED IRL BEFORE
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Heās listed as [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u] D. [name_m]Graham[/name_m] in some of the writing credits on his songs! I can see why [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u] might not be a good rapper name, thoughā¦
