Whatever happened to just naming your son Bob, Steve or Mike?
Amen to that. As George Carlin once said "some people are really [bleeping] stupid," that's the explanation frankly.

Actually, I once WAS able to do something about it, to that freak who insisted on putting his NICKNAME on his timesheet and so I printed his paycheck that way and then he couldn't cash it. I suppose I'm being petty, but I actually took PLEASURE in that such happened to him, it served him right.
Wanting to name your child something other than "Jane Doe" to have a little spice of life, OK, but when you start going out of way to make up weird or unusually spelled names just to be a show-off, that's beyond being "creative" and it's being a pain in the rear to other people just for the sake of narcissism. Try dealing with these names in any sort of official capacity and THEN get back to me about how parents ought to be able to willy-nilly with this all the heck they care to do so. As long as other people have to deal with these names, they're going to have an opinion about it and they're going to express that opinion, in City Data among other places (within acceptable parameters). It's called having a dialogue.

Anakin isn't that bad at all, probably the only time the (nick)name "Ani" would ever suit a guy.
The nickname was my concern when my youngest son - now 45 - and his wife decided to name their first born Anakin with a normal middle name. Now, quite a few years later that's just who he is and his name is certainly not an issue.
Why must parents give girls silly spellings of their names, usually throwing in a bunch of y's instead of i's. It just makes it so the girl and later woman has to constantly spell her name throughout her whole life. It also doesn't look very professional to have a name with a goofy spelling.
How would you like it if you filed records in an office and someone decided to be "creative".
Aww, don't worry, you won't have to 'deal' with people who have the audacity to think they can name their own children for much longer as low skilled jobs like yours are quickly being replaced by technology.

Exactly. They do so to be "unique" and for narcissism purposes, and it creates headaches for the other people who have to deal with them and it shouldn't be necessary to do so.

This is a pet peeve of mine. I know two women I work with who go by their first initial and middle name versus their given name due to this exact issue. One is a friend and has considered changing her first name legally. She doesn't like the way the initial middle name thing looks either - she worries that people might perceive her as pretentious.

who cares about looking professional, (it isnt about a corporate job all the time),
but it does make the parents look stupid for a crazy spelling, i agree
The spelling of one's name has nothing to do with how odd some think it is.
I have a common first name and the first initial of my common first name is almost always started with the wrong letter by most I have to tell my name to.
So I have been properly spelling my common first name for most of my 56 years of life.
