If you don’t like it, you can literally ask to be called anything else, but how other people will be able to pronounce it or not should be at least some small percentage of the thought process. Especially considering that children can’t pick their own names when they’re born

That actually seems very sensible. I was thinking about it from the standpoint of me and my own name, and not like OP needs for a child. For a child a standard name might be a better option so that it does not incure bullying etc. and the child can always choose to change their name, based on their own preferences, when they are older.

I mean, that’s just how I see it. Not disparaging anybody for their name or child’s name. Like, my parents named me Michael, and I happen to like it. But if I didn’t I would change it in a heartbeat (officially or not, it doesn’t really matter to me).
