I don't mind some of these in the post (although some are stupid, Blaze and Gunner stand out as cringeworthy).
You cross a line for me when;
- You spell the name stupidly (Blaze instead of "Blaise")
- Put any punctuation in the name (unless combining two real names with a hyphen)
- Have a name that's unnecessarily long
- Just call them something you know is stupid (like Gunner).
Just think when naming your kid... "is my child going to get made fun of if I name them this?". If you think they will, don't do it.
Gunner is actually an old German or Nordic name. It has nothing to do with guns and was probably around before guns were invented.
It’s also pretty common for some Europeans to use surnames like Duffy or Kennedy as a first name if that name is dying off in the family as an honorarium to that branch of the family tree.
"is my child going to get made fun of if I name them this?". If you think they will, don't do it. "
Fuck that. Don't pass up names you like for that bullshit. It's better to think of it like this...you're not just naming your child, you're naming a future adult.
Yes it is. I'm actually agreeing with you in part because trendy does not always age well.
And any name can get made fun of but kids grow up so it makes little sense to put too much focus on what 'might' happen for a few years as a child vs the entire rest of their life as an adult. If you like a name that's nerdy or not popular or whatever, don't not use it because some shithead in 5th grade might call your kid a name.
I hate bad trendy baby names

It depends on the degree of "uniqueness" for me.

I'm referring to people who like it because it has the word " gun". Gunnar is the right spelling, yeah?
