When I Say The Name...
FearlessSymphony:
I didn't even know it came from final fantasy or that it even existed. I was somewhere online and I happened to see the name, I can't even recall where now.
Hmm.. I'm not one to name a child a common name in fear of being teased. I have a fairly simple name, I was teased for my last name and looks cause they couldn't tease me about my first name. It's a cruel world, and I think that it's just something you gotta toughen up and keep your chin up. It's a hard lesson, but one that I think all children go thru at some point in their life.
AmberRaven:
Luckly my first name is Jennifer so I never got teased. Now my maiden named I got teased quite a bit about LOL

It is a cruel world and if we wanna consider the fact that kids get teased a lot for different reasons, I'm wondering if the trend of celebrities using (absurdly) different names for their children might hinder the teasing of children and names for the future...
It's not like you're naming your child Lemongrass, Paper Towel Roll, Rapunzel, Paprika or Carpet Cleaner. Rinoa or Rinoah, and I don't say this because I make the association to a video game saga, is a lovely, real name. My first name is Amanda, nice, normal and hey kids can make fun of that name too.

Rinoah sound like a name for a interesting person. If a kid doesn't like their name they will often come up with another nickname to solve the problem. I think the most important thing that a child wants is a name that sounds like the name of someone who is loved.
