Help[Opinions] Think about it this way.

No matter what you choose, your kid is more than likely going to hate his or her name at some point in his or her life.
Lots of people do, whether they're named Jane or Addisyn or Morningstar. And guess what? Their parents can't predict that their darling baby is going to hate being Frederick George at age fourteen, or Juno Lilith at seven.
So if there's a good chance that your kid will probably be unhappy about their name at some point, but if that name isn't something that can be construed as cruel ("Unwanted Jones, get your butt right back here!"), why should you let that stand in your way? Use what you love; more likely than not, Betty Jean will come to appreciate her name when she's older. I certainly did, and I thought my name was stupid for years.
