Kids, love 'em or hate 'em.... I pick the first.
I see them as beautiful blank pages, all with the potential to become beautiful books. Not stinky crybabies.
In the future, I would love to have kids, but in the Paradise (I'm religious), not this world, but let's ignore that and not make this a religious debate.
What is always so exciting to think about is how I will name my kids. Names do have a huge impact on the life of a kid and can affect their personalities greatly, I don't have sources, but I've read it before. We can also discuss this fact if anyone knows more about this, or would like to share some interesting articles about names. You can also discuss or give your opinion on what makes a "good name", I think it is easy to remember, no prejudges, and nice sounding.
Let's limit us to two boys names and two girls names if we don't have kids yet. And if any of you already has kids, I'm curious to hear what names and why you have given them!
I personally dislike very common names such as "Chad", "Jack", "Emma" and so on, not at all because they're bad names, they're good names! But because I hear them so much. You can call me a "name-hipster". If they were bad names, they wouldn't have been used.
There's such a huge spectrum of good sounding names, so why limit yourself to common names? There are so many cultures and countries full of good names, you just need to do some research.
A very long time I've wanted to name any of my kids "Rayquaza" after the cool Pokémon, but I figured it would not be such a good idea since people will not remember it... But it's still an epic name. In the same way, "Xochiquetzal" seems very epic, and is also Aztec, the culture Rayquaza is based off. But again, it won't be remembered, and associating my kid with an evil Pagan God is not so good.
A funny boys name would be "Fartman" but it's obvious why it would be a bad idea.
Another idea I had would be "Ultimecia", a FINAL FANTASY final boss, but it would be kind of elitist to call my kid literally "ultimate", but I still kinda consider it.
"Aurora" and "Angelica" were also previous considerations, but my conclusions have gotten priority over them.
So I've come to these conclusions:
I would love my daughter 1 to be named "Lilith", especially if she has black hair. It sounds super epic, is easy to remember, and means "of the night", how cool is that?
Daughter 2 would be named Solaris, especially if she is blonde. I love everything to do with the sun or solar stuff, and this name means "Sun". I've also made and painted a character called "Solaris", and it's part of a lore I'm making, that I want to develop a game about in the future.
I would name my son 1 "Sephiroth", named after FINAL FANTASY VII baddie. It is again a super epic name, named after my favourite fictional character of all time. It is like Lilith derived from Hebrew / Jewish language and beliefs, which is very interesting, even though I'm not Jewish.
And I'm still not so sure about son 2.... or maybe I don't remember what I had planned. I prefer daughters over sons lol...
But let's see if my wife agrees with these decisions! Anyone got stories concerning that?
Discuss!
