Wow, makes my family's naming convention of "rulers and biblical figures admired by the Ulster Scots and/or Presbyterian Church" seem rather dull. Far too many Roberts, Williams and Davids in the family tree, gets confusing when you're trying to figure out which Robert it was who drowned rowing a load of bricks across the lough.
A few more "Forthright dragon"s would really have livened it up.
- ipnon 6y agoAt least you still have that good Ulster Scots sense for banter.

I ended up breaking all possible traditions from all families involved, by putting no Christian names but pre-christian greeks keywords for her first 2 european-sounding names, using a scientific reference for her 2-character Chinese name, and for the family name character, use my own french last name's second syllable transliterated. I got scolded from every possible elder in all languages but I never felt so revolutionary :D (and all her names are 'normal', just 0 reference to any tradition - I didn't name her aquarium or anything :D). And at least she will have names everyone can pronounce, unlike me who still can't be named correctly by most asian language speakers grrr
