But in response to earlier comments I guess I just don't like how we have to make our names fit society's idea of appropriate names i.e. nothing to "ethnic". I went to HS with a Korean girl who changed her name to Linda because her birth name was considered "too difficult" to pronouce. To me that is an insult to her parents who decided to name their child something different.

Coincidentally, I also know an Asian girl who changed her name to "Linda". In fact, I know many Asians who do that. And guess what- their parents did, also. Why? Why not. It doesn't make them any less Asian.
Now, I guess creativity is good for play. But this isn't arts and crafts, this is life. And, I can't see what harm a name that is easier to pronounce can do.
In the other thread, someof the names were just outrageous
. If you need to go to those lengths to get your child noticed--then you must be over compensating for some deficiency. IMHO (of course)
I guess "George" is just a boring little insignificant name-- until you are elected president.
