All names are completely arbitrary. Having a unique one seems pretty practical to me.

- dudul 3y agoWhy? I only see the inconvenience of having to spell it when the other party is trying to write it down.
- petre 3y agoBecause your kids get their names misspelled and have to correct whoever is writing their name?
- seattle_spring 3y agoNot really, because most "unique" names I hear of nowadays are just common names or nearly common names spelled weird. "This is my daughter Jossilyn and her sister Payzlei!"
- sidongio123 3y agoNames are not arbitrary in the least. They are deeply connected to history, family, religion, and ancient tradition. They are meaningful in just about every way a thing can be meaningful. You can consider those things unimportant, but society as a whole does not agree with you.
- midoridensha 3y agoConsidering all the completely wacky names that American parents are choosing for their kids these days, it seems that modern American society no longer agrees with you.
- syndicatedjelly 3y agoSorry to hear that, my name certainly has a meaning and reason.
- amanaplanacanal 3y agoIf people choose their own names, that would make more sense, syndicatedjelly. My first name was a common baby name when I was born, and as far as I can tell has no connection with my family history or anything else. Probably my parents just liked the sound of it.
