I’m not in the whole woke crowd, but I think this thread is going to devolve really quickly into lowbrow casual racism. So idk if this is a great idea

True

Agree with PwC above. “Exotic” is a dicey way to describe someone’s name (and often, relatedly, their culture). To a white American, every name from my culture would be probably be “exotic” because it’s unfamiliar. But to me, it’d be normal.

No this is unfortunately all too real. Absurd names are the norm now in some places.

Are you trying to name your baby 🧐💕

Pls OP, if you are, do not give your child a unique name just to be different. The child has to live with it. I'm sick of correcting people about my name the first five times I meet them. Its not a name from my culture, it has no significance to my family, and it just makes the first part of a convo I have with every new person a little lesson in pronouncing or spelling my name. Its tiring, and my parents just did it to be unique, and honestly I think that's a little narcissistic to make naming your child about how you named a child something unique.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

I am not sure who needs to hear this but exactly one year ago, I was at my lowest point in life. Today, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. Life has truly been a rollercoaster these past few years for me.

I am sharing this to tell you that no matter what you’re feeling right now, it won’t last. Even the happiness I feel right now, I’ve had that stripped from me multiple times. That is LIFE. We have the good and the bad.

Hang in there if times are bad. If things are good, prepare to lose it too.
