Why do people name their children silly names?

I just recently had a friend that had newborn and they named him "Zaiden".

I thought we were over those silly names and it was mostly a Millennial or Gen Z thing.


Imagine calling a grown man "Zaiden", if the kid grows up to have any balls it is obvious he will likely decide to use some nickname or something short for "Zaiden". There are still people naming their kids silly names, I thought that was just a fad.

Edit: By "Millennial or Gen Z" thing I mean the boomers or Gen X that named their children that. But most Boomers themselves had very basic names, like "John", or "Frank" etc.

Maverick, Hendrix, Malin, Maddon, and any girl with two first names.

When Game of Thrones came out white people started naming their daughters Daenyres only to find out she becomes a complete tyrant and fucks her cousin.

It is like white people woke up and asked themselves why only black people give their kids stupid names.

My kids will thank me for their nice, biblical names.

Good rule of thumb:

Only give your kids names that have at one time in history been followed by “the great”, “the terrible” or “the second”

Yeah and it sounds especially dumb when the kid has a strong, ethnic sounding last name that you typically associate to be paired with a classic first name.

For example a kid named Aiden Napolitano just sounds off. If his name was Joe or Mike, that namesmatches with the last name, those names just work.

Vapid millennial mothers (with a weak or absent husband) who see their kids as pets and want a fun quirky name to post on social media about.

Black people have been doing it for decades. What's funny is that most of the names they choose have no actual African connections. Just set your kid up to be stereotyped. Like the name Antwan or Treyvon, sounds like it comes right out of the mouth of one of those uppity entitled welfare queens.

Yeah, but people giving their kids these strange names that makes it hard to take them seriously if they are any of those in OP's example.

People treating their pets like their kids and their kids like pets.

We intentionally picked English first names for our kids and saved the Tuvaluan names for middle names, cause kids are mean.

John isn't a bad name, I think we should get back to basic biblical names have Sr and Jrs. Beats what has been put out in the last 40 years.

If you give them a proper name, such as Elizabeth, understand she will most likely be called Liz, or Leslie (where her chance of being a dike skyrockets). If it's a girl, run her name in the hub to make sure you don't name her after a porn star.

Dude at my work was naming his daughter, had a name picked out. I put it in the hub and I forgot the name but she was getting suffed anally by some black dudes. So I have never named a child before, but due to my dirty mind, a child's name is different from what it was going to be.

I actually do like my name a lot srs. And growing up, vast majority of kids had names like John, Joe, Mike, Pete, etc. So I don’t think it was the boomers giving these fuked up names.

Idk boyo you have to be a massive coombrain for that to be the first thing to pop into your mind when you hear what someone is planning to name their daughter. You should be fine unless you name her some stripper name like Star or Jade or some chit

I agree with with the majority about stupid names, but I knew one guy named 'Steele' and thought that was pretty righteous, but I would name a girl that, not a boy.
