[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Unnecessary pain"? Good grief. Maybe in DCUMland, where everybody is named Liam or Caroline. But not in real actual life.[/quote] Op- this is funny. I grew up in the DC area and you should've heard roll call at school. There is no way any of the names we consider would be scarring. Hello, we do live in a country where the Potus is named Barack. Perhaps it was not the easiest name for him growing up, but fear of difference is not something that would hold is back from choosing a non-Anglo name.[/quote] I think a non-Anglo name is fine. But my concern would be, as others have mentioned, that this is a name that will lead people to make incorrect assumptions about your daughter's background -- i.e. that she is an orthodox Jew. Maybe you don't mind this, but she might find it annoying someday. It doesn't disqualify the name, but it's a consideration.[/quote]
