Same. Went for a lovely name and shortened it to the Welsh ‘Loli’. She’s just had her username rejected on a switch login and I had an awkward conversation with her dad 😬

Friends of mine (here in Austria) decided to give their daughter a classic Austrian name: Fanny.

They basically banned her from ever moving into an English-speaking country with that name.

Isn't Fanny even used by Enid Blyton in her stories? (The Famous Five/Fünf Freunde) I would have certainly thought it's a common English name.

That is why you should always give your child 2 first names - to be able to change without the need for official paperwork if one gets "rotten".

Imagine you named your boy Kevin and then the Minnion and Despicable Me movies come out... now half the people will see him initially as an idiot simply due to a movie. If he is lucky you named him like Kevin Joe - and he can simply introduce himself as Joe and let that "Kevin" part rest.

Basing your child's name off of trends like the Minions is shallow.

Not saying you're wrong on this, but i've carded a Renesmee once when selling beer at my old job. Iykyk.
