Oh, I'm never closed-minded about ethnic and unusual names, but I invariably close the door on poor invented variations and spellings (like Ryleigh), names dervied from shallow pop-culture influences (like Jagger), cutsie names that would hinder an adult (like Lily), silly word names (like Bluejay), or invented names with extreme flaws (like Evolet). You may see this as closed-minded, but I see it as avoiding disaster.
