[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s time for something new.  I think we nailed the Gen Z new trends with our DD’s permanent nickname (single syllable) but not her given name (which is heavy and three syllables). [/quote]

We did this too (4 years ago) and to me it's the best of both worlds. I think the single syllable, somewhat unisex nickname is great because it's so versatile, but I also think that some girls/women (obviously not all) will always crave feminine names. So having the longer, more feminine, multi-syllabic option is nice.

I think many of the names in the article are kind of neat but, other than not being gendered, actually way too specific. Like right in this moment a lot of people would find it very cool to have a name like Fox or Xerxes. But your kid will have their name for, hopefully, 80 or 90 years. What happens if they are 20 years old and just do not feel like a Xerxes? Or no one ever knows how to pronounce it? I know the article says that they might just adopt a new name. Which, fine. But I did try to give my child a name they could carry their whole lives in some form or another. I think of it like a gift and I want to give them something useful and versatile.[/quote]
