Hello!
I have what is probably a very stupid problem. We live in a more rural community in western Pennsylvania, USA. My husband loves names that feel "firm, strong, manly", often German names while I tend to like names that are old fashioned but feel fresh and modern and Gaelic names. My issue is that I generally enjoy the sounds of names he likes but I fear that they are not usable here.
When I sit and think about that I realize it is dumb because if all the "tiktok moms" can make up crazy names like Haizleigh and use unappealing words like Riot as names why can't I use Klaus?
Am I being unrealistic? I feel like I should be able to let this go but I always feel like I will be burdening my son if he has a name that is very different sounding than most in the area (even though I don't want his name to be trendy either).
Talk some sense into me.
