I think everyone should name their children what ever the hell they want to, too.

Just don't get pissed off when a non-native speaker has trouble with it.


My name is not 'usual' for these parts--neither my first nor my last. I don't get my panties in an uproar when people around here don't 'get' my name. I don't except them to 'get' it. It's a difficult name and I am more than happy to spell and sound it out for them.

If you want to give your child a unique or ethnic name, be prepared to deal with the consequences.
