You gotta be pretty badass to pull of "Storm". Like at least be born on a small sailing boat in the middle of a cyclone in the South Pacific kinda badass

Me and my ol' lady plan on naming our children after angels.
Cassiel is the one we're most sold on for a boy.

That's a very feminine name, just know that he will probably get bullied at school for that, and it'll be your fault.

Nice name, but unfortunately yes, it does sound quite feminine. It's one letter off from Cassie, short for Cassandra.
Isn't Cassiel one of the Great guardians of one of the levels of palaces? Been a while.

Kids get bullied based on whether they're cool or not. You could give them a basic, average name and they'll still find a way to make fun of it. "Matt the rat," "Joe blow," and Richard AKA Dick is pretty self-explanatory.
While you're at it, why don't you tell your kid to quit being so smart, since apparently smart kids get bullied more often. It's asinine to live your life in fear of this.

I guess you're right
But still, the kid might be uncool and his feminine name will just add to his misery. It will feel like a curse that he's stuck with and might want to kill himself. You see,, it's risky naming your boy something feminine this day in age. If he had a msculine name and he was still uncool and bullied, well at least he's not being bullied for his name; something that he can't change
Also, childhood suicide is a thing that happens

A name is something that you can change. I have not only legally changed my name, I've gone by many different aliases and nicknames throughout my lifetime. I have a Japanese name, I have a name I only use among close friends, another name I only use among my druggo friends, I have a name I only use at work, and I have my legal name. You are not as bound to your name as you think you are.
If a kid really hates their name that much, then they can simply start going by a different name or you can have it changed to something else. Easy. Why on earth would it even have to get to the point of suicide?
I guarantee you if they are getting bullied to the point of suicide, it has nothing to do with their name, that's for sure.

I have one name and no nicknames that have stuck. I consider my name a massive driving factor in my development as its what I refer to myself as and what other people refer to me as.
That said If I had a name I didnt like id come up with an alternate.

No one knows forsure why those kids mysteriously kill themselves, but there's a bunch of notable cases were the evidence pointed towards in school bullying.
If you want to ensure high chances that your kid will be a badass at life then give him a good name that isn't feminine or goofy. Your name affects your personality. Want to increase the chances of your kid being feminine or picked on? Give him a goofy or feminine name. This is the bottom line. I'd never name my kid something that doesn't pertain to who they actually are (gender and ethnicity)

Yeah, many times the bullying has to do with the kid's sex lives or promiscuity or homosexuality or something. When a case of bullying is severe enough to get to the point of suicide it typically is for reasons far beyond anything to do with a kid's name.

That is because you are a conformist and a simpleton.

I want to see a couple of super white people name their kid something black.
Like "hello I am Steve and this is Lisa, have you seen our little angel Daquan and his brother Jamal, the joy of our lives"

I like some black names. Like Aaliyah, or Shante (pronounced Shantay). Those are pretty names for girls.

Shante is French, but it's still also a popular name among urban blacks. Same with Aaliyah. Ezekiel is another Hebrew name that I like and it's also popular among black people.
