Parents, stop fucking up your kids' names. This is not a difficult
concept to understand - but most grown-ass adults seem to have difficulty
understanding easy concepts for some reason, so I'm going to explain it
any way.
There are only two ways to go about naming your child:
either the name is one of the nearly infinite preexisting options
spanning every single possible idea known to humankind but that
somebody, somewhere, might have heard before - in which case, your run-of-the-mill, not-actually-a-special-snowflake might
someday realize that s/he isn't actually a special snowflake (gasp!); or
else it's an arbitrarily contrived non-word with literally no
etymological meaning at all - in which case you're a complete idiot,
because your child's name now means "nothing." In the latter case, you
might as well just name your child "Myparentsrstoopid," because at least
that's an idea horse that (probably) hasn't been beaten to death in the English
language... yet.
Soo... stop
creating nonsense names for children. It's horrifying, and almost certainly will
be psychologically damaging to them at several points in life. If you
ever start to think you're smart enough to come up with a name that
means something no other name has ever meant - you're not, and it
doesn't. Modern contexts are not so significantly different than ancient ones that they justify renaming an idea; that's just your vanity - and it's pathological.
