If people are giving YOU that much crap about it, just think of the person that has to sport that name their whole life.
We just gave our son a boring common name so people wouldn't judge him or his family, and to be honest, no one calls him by his name, just his nickname.
They are giving them stick because for some reason many relatives believe they have a RIGHT to a say in a child's name. They dont and so she shouldnt change it just because of that.
OP Thio is lovely
I would hope if I ever tried to name my child "containing sulfur" (which is what Thio means), that they would put etiquette aside and try to stop me. Children aren't canvases for parents to express their creativity and uniqueness... They too will become adults one day and try to look for a job (or not want to get teased in school).
Also if my parents named me Thio I'd be kind insulted... Sulfur isn't one of the nicest chemical elements, it stinks pretty bad.
Have u ever looked up what ure name means? cos to be perfectly honest i never have. i will say if u look up the name Theo it means a divine gift or gods gift we are just spelling her name diffrently.
If your going to be bullied at school its gonna happen doesnt matter what happens i was bullied at school for being to fat then to skinny then to shy. i remember one of the popular girls was called Stevie she never got bullied. Ive just gotta hope i can raise my daughter to be able to fend for herself when she gets older and i dont believe thats got anything to do with her name its all to do with what i teach her as she grows.
ow and i dont think anybody in a interview would turn around and say ow btw we cant hire u ure names just to weird did u no it ment sulfur lol
You're right because they may not even get an interview. I never knew the importance of naming a person before I worked for a headhunting firm, but as unfair as it is, people with "unique" names get significantly less interview opportunities than people with ordinary names.
So while your child's name is entirely up to you, you shouldn't just name your baby out of spite. It's not about who's right and who's wrong, it's about intentionally dishing your kid a disadvantage.
Perhaps I'm a little biased because my parents gave me a moronily "unique" name that no one can pronounce?
lol
And yes I have looked up its meaning, because all of my clients ask me every effing day wanting to know if I'm foreign or my parents were just white trash...
