Help[Opinions] Re: Alberta girl names 2023 that only one girl got
in reply to a message by hello_1234
Not the misspelled Elegance! Oh no...
Some of these are going to be pretty damn awkward to have as legal names once these kids reach adulthood -- Ambition, Beautiful, Beretta, Curly-Ann, Ellegance, Foxx, France, Gaininlord-Kleodyah, Happiness, Hyker, Justyce, Kathysgirl, Lady-Annelle, Lyric-Love, Margot-Heartberry, Night-Sky, Otter, Oslo, Paradise, Rainbow, Rhythm, Seneca, Scylla, Scottlynne, Silva-Light, Steele(y), Sprinkie, Swayzee, Sweetlyn, Tokyo, Triumph, Darling... just...oh no... some were seriously cringe. Can you imagine being 30 and getting a mortgage or sitting your bar exam or working as a GP and having to be like 'Yep, my parents in their wisdom called me Rainbow (or Curly-Ann or Night-Sky...) because they didn't think of me being a serious real life adult with a serious real life life'. Ouch. And are we so desperate we're now scraping the bottle of the Roman statesmen, mythological sea monsters and full-arse countries for names? Yeah, I know France is apparently a name... if I met someone and they turned round and went 'Hi, I'm France' I would struggle.
Yorcabel is the one that made me snort though, because if it's said how it's written - york-a-bel... I don't normally call names ugly, but that is a pretty ugly sounding name.
There are some nice names in the mix though - Andromeda, Briseis, Circe, Cirilla, Elaria, Io, Karuna, Laurelin, Lydian, all decent. There's a few GPs too.
I just saw Manrose, that made me laugh too, what is that even meant to be and how is that not obvious bullying fodder. And I have to keep going back to Oslo and wondering why Copenhagen or Stockholm, hell, even Helsinki, didn't make the cut.
