I always think of this>
every time I here that name.
I recently heard a father call to his son, Dexter. WTF would you call your boy that or Damian. It would be like calling a daughter Myra, see moors murders, or Cruella.

My friend's fat hobgoblin got pregnant and named their son Blake (he got no choice in the matter. I said give him a real name that no one will take the piss out of, like Steve, Dave, Gary, Bob)
I asked the fucking fat cunt if it was because of the poet William Blake, she, who's mother is professor of English literature in one of the prestigious oxbridge colleges, might have now and then namedropped Blake as being a pretty cool guy and worth naming your son William after.
No, it's named after this shitty fucking american sitcom that's not even funny https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workaholics after a guy who's hair is a fucking embarrassment. Maybe she just really dislikes him and wants him to be bullied when he grows up.
I'd so change my name if I was that guy

I think your sig, GIF, was taken at a gay cruising area. Notice the guys walking a path on the the right? sure guy coming from the left checks out guy coming from the right.
My parents gave me a unisex name which I sometimes shorten to Lee as it seems to be easier for people to hear over the phone.
I quite like the name Leeson, as in, son of Lee.

Oh cool, another american gladiator fan. I'm definitely planning on naming my first born Nitro Armageddon, followed by my boring last name. If I have a second boy, his name will be Jet Lazer-Blazer. If I have a girl... Diamond Indaruff (I like it cus her middle name will sound Indian-exotic) Indian Exotic would actually be a good girl name too)

So many people these days give their kids such cringey names. I think it's a selfish act, to give your kid a dumb ultra unique name that they'll get made fun of and resent you for. I actually met some kid named "Storm" in a suburban setting, I couldn't believe it was his real name. Also met some dude named "Blaze", I was just like no fuckin way your name is "Blaze".
A fancy unheard of name for a regular American is never impressive. Some of my highschool friends who have kids now, they all named their kids weird shit and it's so cringey. Some of the boy names sound very feminine.
I think all people should be named based on their ethnic or nationality. Americans should have American names, like Asians should have Asian names.
As above, Blake is a pretty normal name in America

Blake isn't a name that'll get someone bullied. If anything It'll make him more likely to become associated with the children of people who like Workaholics, which at this time is mostly stoners born in the 1990s. It may seem silly to you but you could apply evolutionary psychology to her reasoning. He will now grow up and be more accepted in a world of people who's generation was spawned by people similar to his mother, and she therefore perpetuates the type of culture she enjoys and makes the future more like she would want it to be. It could even help him find a more suitable mate as people tend to gravitate more towards people in their own caste, and his name will speed up the process of mate selection, because the first thing a person will know about him is the fact that his family comes from the kind of culture where "Blake" is the kind of name they would choose.

I think it should fit where you reside so people don't get confused and frazzled by your name.
Personally I had to Americanize my name cause I was born and raised in Scandinavia (for the first half of my life) and my name is very Swedish, but now living in America I go by an abreviated version of my middle name as to not confuse and weird people the fuck out, as it's pronounced and spelled in a different alphabet.

Yeah its fucked up dude, those parents giving their kids feminine names should be punished and the kid given the choice to change their name.
And hopefully if Crystal G has kids she will come to her senses, cause no kid with any of those names will grow up feeling normal
