Why are parents condemning their kids to a life of misery just so they can get attention? If you want undivided attention for an unusual name, then trot your body down to the courts and have YOUR name changed legally. Stop using your kids to get attention. They're going to have a rough enough time with life without you adding misery to it. I can't imagine what this kid is going to go through growing up with such a selfish mother.....

Everytime a parent chooses, shall we say "exceptional", names for their offspring, I think of the song A Boy Named Sue. In that story, the dad names the son Sue to make him tough. Unfortunately, for these kids, the motive is pure parental narcissism.

The child is named as such because mom wants to be Special. It's all about mom. It's the narcissism of the day.

If they really need a special unusual name that no-one else will be called go back to history, and literature - plenty ro be found.. It will at least show you have a modicum of intelligence rather than just making something ridiculous up.

I had a normal Southern name but it was five syllables and over the years at times when I was in crisis of confidence, I'd do anything to be called something more manageable. No nicknames? This mom will find she has very little control over that, nor should she.

I was going to log in to write exactly this. You spoke my mind perfectly! :) If she has such a strong opinion, she should be the one carrying the load. Not throw it over to the child to push her own opinion through. Not sure that the child will want to push the same agenda but he'll have to carry the load for 18 years before he can free himself and legally change it to something down to earth. Like forcing the child to take a pilgrimage lasting 18yrs, because of the parents beliefs. And the "no nickname allowed" is like rubbing salt in the wound and saying "nobody is even allowed to offer him water on that pilgrimage" :( *edit for typos.

Could have such fun with kids names if you really want to make them special. "Hope" is a name. If your surname is Case, please call your child Hopeless - you will be so famous.

Will he change his name to Knight Sebastian Senator once he graduate? Will he change it to Knight Sebastian President if he gets elected? Too many questions!

...why is she judging her unborn child? There’s zero guarantee that this child will be special, famous, wealthy or carry a sword. What you can teach is how to be humble, open, loving. I feel bad for this future family.
