If it was a girl, Elaine, but that would be weird because that is my name! 😂

I’d never give them any names that they could be picked on for. So no unusual names such as X Æ A-12

Kids will find ways to pick on literally any name.

Some more than others.

Had a friend with a classmate named Anakin and he’s still in all the school memes post-grad.

That’s not weird. Both my mom and me as well as a girl I help with are all Tinas (one Celestina, one Valentina, and one Christina).

It’s interesting how Tina is a diminutive of many other names. This happens with its masculine counterpart Tino too, such as Tarantino, Costantino, and Martino. The diminutive of the name Elaine is Lanie, it’s not exactly the same but similar enough!

It does? I’ve never seen someone called Tino before.

I’ll say it does get confusing though. A lot of people use “Tina” (which is short for my post-adoption legal name too, though only for spelling) and so when there’s a “message for Tina” or “order up, Tina” when a food order is ready, everyone who is there stands up. Doesn’t help that not only is there a Celestina (my birth mom), a Valentina (me, hence also being “Leni” to some people), and a Christina (the sweet kid who imprinted with me, like pseudomom status), but also a Clementina (grandmother) and an Augustina (great grandmother) and it was a pain, for example, sorting through paperwork when my maternal grandfather passed.

I wanted to name my daughter Fenchurch, but my wife wouldn’t agree. Daughter is 16 now. Still call her Fenchurch.
