Do y'all think this is a cool name for a kid?

That's horrendous. Don't become a parent.

I'll just add my insignificant opinion.

As an older person with grown children, I'm glad we didn't use a creative and unusual name we had thought and really planned on using. We were both educated and close to graduation from college when our first was due. We thought about putting that education to work and looked for latin terms that had significant meaning. Something like Regium Adamas we justified it thinking they will call them Regina, Reggie, or Adam.

Our children are very glad we dumbed down and used more common names. Actually family names, that were used by grandparents, parents, or great grandparents. They are actually very proud of their names and family attachment.

Point being, getting creative may seem cute and different when we are 25 but it is their name and will affect them a lot more than you think. When they are 25 they will tell you how stupid it was, or how much they like it. If it's really hated at about 18 or 19 they will rename themselves.

I can't wait until we come full circle and names like Lisa and Mark are considered to be weird and embarrassing names

sounds kinda pretentious

I agree with Somenormie. Giving kids odd names exposes them to more teasing and ridicule than normal. Kids are cruel enough to each other. And obsidian is a black shiny rock that breaks easily, so why would you want a kid to identify with that?

Obsidian Scarab

Unusual names like Obsidian could warrant negative attention or potentially teasing from peers. In other words giving a child a very unusual name can also give the child negative affects, some cases but not all they can for example hate their name.

Now this isn't to discourage you to give a child a name as a name can be unique depending what you want. I'm all for it and wish you the absolute best in life even when you do get kids :)

However, to avoid the child getting bullied you're better off with the name Sid or Diane then again that's my opinion but I don't have any children of my own yet.

Gay name.

Bout to name her kid after a Minecraft block💀

You should name you kid Realdeadly

Obsidian? Try this. Call it outside, loudly, several times. Imagine a roll call, and the name "Obsidian" is called, and a hand is raised. Imagine a job application, and the interviewer says "Obsidian"?
That's the test for any name, quirky or not. I think a unique name's a good name, but as Somenormie said, it could warrant negative attention from his peers, and be hard to spell, especially when they're young.

Hope they aren't gingers or wildly caucasian with a name like that lol

Only cool names you can find are royalty names. Like Constantine and Reginald.

Naming your kid after a rock or glass is just cringy.

Atticus could work to.

I quite like it. He'd have to be black though.

I love the stone. I collect rocks and have a few obsidian pieces. I don't think I would name a kid that, but I don't think it's weird.

So why not name your kid Sid or Dianne if that's what you're going to call them if they're name Obsidian?

I love it! I’d call him Obi Wan!

If someone said their name was obsidian id laugh and joke "was ur dad a starwars fan or somethin?"

I can tell you're a dude, because other females are way too serious all the time and never silly. Anyway I as a girl also think it's a cool name.
