Re: Help me choose an English name!
Thanks for the info!! Yeah, I agree that they're both on the 'trendeigh' side lol. The problem with more common names is that I would already know someone named that either in real life or online, and if I gave myself that name I would keep feeling like it was someone else's.

There are tons of names that are neither trendy nor common. I think you’ll find that even if nobody has the exact name you choose, you’ll still end up getting lumped in with the pile of insubstantial surname-as-firstname people whose names contain some combination of K, Y,L and N. These names aren’t my style, but if you like them and they hold meaning for you, go for it. Just be aware that they aren’t as unique as you think, given the current trends.

Good points!Would you have any suggestions of neither trendy nor common names that start with 'K'? I see that your name list has no 'K' names lol. I know that 'K' is an overly trendy letter at the moment, but unfortunately the 'K' will have to stay for me... The nickname my parents gave me starts with a 'K', and I want to honour that too. ;)
