Wound up talking about baby names with a friend

Apparently wanting to name my hypothetical future daughter Buffy is ridiculous

as in Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

@netikras yup

@TheBeardedOne or rather...

Buffay the Vampire Layer

totally cool imo.
the only downside is that it has no short form. no, Buf is not a valid short form for that name, it aounds stupid.

Why is that ridiculous?

Have seen stranger names for real so …

The most important thing with baby names is to consider how the child will like it.

If you have a name that is a bit out of the ordinary, consider having a secondary name that is more common that she can choose to use if she wants to.

I have seen stranger names really. This one ain't to bad.

At least it is not that bad as what I would encounter in Mexico back then.

"My name is Em Ah il" Em pronounced as the em in Emma, ah as, well, just Ah ("ah I forgot") and Il as in ill for illness.

The spelling of the name? Email. Some putos down there named their fucking kid Email. There is also Erasmo, which sounds like orgasmo, which means orgasm.

Weird shit in Mexico. Buffy is fine, as long as her name is something like Johnson, or some white sounding shit. If you are hispanic like me and your hypotetical daughter will be Buffy Perez I will reach out through your monitor, slap you, kiss you and then leave you confused.

i think it's a terrible idea to name a child after a pop culture reference. kids will make fun of them, they might hate it. imagine interviewing for a job and they read the name and go "is this for real". idk it feels mean

@AleCx04 erasmo is an old person name, but I don't think it's that bad. it also sounds like marasmo and espasmo, but those are just words

@Voxera middle name would be Ann, same as Buffy in the show but mostly because my mom's name is Ann

@darksideofyay Buffy is still getting off lightly. If there's twin girls they'll be Liz and May. Short for Lizard and Mayonnaise

@AleCx04 Okay yea that is crazy. Yea, very white name here
