ITT:Post your future child's name

I will find you and punch you into the sun if you inflict your anime dreams onto your child.

'Sup Sarah, been a while.

You know, all of those names are actually fairly normal. If he picked names like "Konata" or "Sakura" or something, I'd understand your urge to lash out. However, all of the names he picked are actually western names, and all of them are actually real names.

The place you get the names from don't really matter. I'm sure your name was influenced by something as well. Parents pick names of their favorite actors, or favorite TV characters on for their children. This isn't unusual, and even if the parents originally got the name from one source, that doesn't mean they'll always associate the name with that source. It's just a name that they heard and liked, like most other names. People don't generally make up their own names to give to their children, they usually pick names they've heard somewhere before and have taken a liking to.

If anything, you should be surprised that he picked some fairly normal names provided the sources you know he got them from. It shows that he didn't just pick names just because of how KAWAII XD the characters attached to them were. It may have been a slight influence, but he surely picked out names that were good on their own.


Aside from that, the names he picked out were all unique while still being normal. Some people like unique names, ones that aren't used much but still sound nice, rather than generic names that are common. Of course, that's a matter of personal choice. What really matters is how personal the name is to the parent, and how acceptable it is for the kid to have that name.
