[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He needs a nickname. [b]It’s a nice name but he’s not in your home country and it doesn’t flow well in English[/b].

Ace is a rather ambitious nickname to live up to. Maybe discuss some alternatives?[/quote]

BULLSHIT. When white Americans stop naming their kids stupid Gaelic names that somehow magically everybody can pronounce like Saoirse and Aiofe, we'll all start naming our kids Jack and Henry. If you can pronounce these Gaelic names that ALSO DO NOT FLOW WELL IN ENGLISH because your great-great-great-granny was Irish, then we'll stop naming kids from our actual ethnicity that you could EASILY pronounce if you gave a shit and tried even just the teeny tiniest bit.[/quote]

Look, basically anyone who advises against difficult names from whatever your ethnicity is, also advises against "stupid Gaelic names" for the same reason. Aoibhinn, for example, is just not a good name for a child who's going to grow up in America, no matter her parents' background.
