[Opinions] Re: Indiana BA's
Rhianhannen seems like an unfortunate respelling to me. Cyren seems odd for a boy since I think of the Sirens from mythology, who were female. I'd prefer to see Ace as a nickname rather than as an official form. Leviathan Crowe seems to be a name for parents who are really trying too hard to be "cool." And I hope Aryan is also just an unfortunate respelling instead of another instance of the use of this name by White Supremacists.

White supremacists name children Aryan?? Anyway, it's been known to happen?
It might be OK to evoke an association with an ethnic group normally, but of course because of Nazi history this is disgusting.

Google "Aryan Justice" - you'll see!However, Aryan is a traditional name in both the Netherlands and India, so it really depends on the context. It also seems a lot of parents now respell "Arianne" and neglect to do the all-important Google check...
