Sorry MZ, your kid's name is now Susan.

Pronounced "Ellen".

[Comrade P.]

That whole tradition of giving second names is actually a good thing, I think - if you can't get decided on one specific name among two variants, you can give both.

In Russia, though, second names are not chosen - they are given after father with specific ending added.

[Orange Wizard]

I was given a weird name (and by weird I mean "was in a declining trend roughly two generations ago and nobody knows how to spell the damn thing") and my second names are both terrible.

So yeah. I definitely advocate giving your kid the option of not using their wacky first name if they so desire.

[Teneb]

Why just stop at a second name? Go the whole way and give your kid not only your surname, but that of the mother as well.

Hell, I only have last names- my name is X Y Z, named after an ancestor named John X Y, and he got his middle name from his mother Anna X.

Bah, you only get respect from me if you have more words, counting pronouns, in your name than I have (6).

[MaximumZero]

So why not Eowyn Susan [last_name]?

Ee-oh-wyn. Is it pronounced like that, again?

Depending on who you talk to, the "o" is a ghost vowel, making it pronounced "Eh-win" or "Eh-ah-win."

I'm back in Hong Kong for the weekend. Back to Imgur, Facebook, and Youtube for a while.

Thanks. I'm far from accustomed to such names, so I'm not good at pronunciation of those, as you see.

Why go to the factory? You can go to the store and buy legos!

Not enough in the store.

I think I only narrowly avoided getting a Tolkein name. Instead, I got a Celtic one.
