David is really boring and is basically the same as telling your kid that he's going to be known by his last name, so make sure you have a strong last name.
there is nothing wrong with boring names.
jesus christ, i thought i was the one with adhd.
my name is john and i've literally never had any negative consequences because of that.
'john, mike, david, and jeff are boring' is a lie told to assuage the shame of people with terrible, 'creative' names
Nah, I have a pretty boring name too. But with David they are quite likely to have one or more other Davids in their class so they are going to end up going by "David [last name]" or just by their last name. So make sure you have a good last name.
david is so perfect for a male name in my opinion. for me anyways. it's jewey, but far enough removed that lots of people don't think of it as jewey. he could maybe escape pogroms! it's short. it's punchy. it won't incite teasing. it is euphonic. um.
i really like it.
I agree.
David might be a cool name for jew but not for me.
I mean for you but not for me.
Oh yeah I mean as a name for Organ to use. I agreed it fit him.

To be clear:
My name is Brad.
Let's consider that before we hate on it too harshly, because I am a sensitive, delicate 200lb flower.

Katarina. It's one of my german friend's middle names and one of my favourite non-norwegian names out there.
I love Catherine and its derivative forms, but it is probably one of the most common names out there. As it is, I know at least ten here in New York, and that's foreign-born women alone (I'm not counting the numerous American Catherines I know). In fact, I know three actual "Katerinas" but also a few Katyas, Katarzyna (Polish version - usually nicknamed to Kasia), Ekaterina, and so on.
Beautiful name though. I think I would like to eventually name my daughter, assuming I have one, "Katerina."

You know how it's easier to remember bad things that have happened to you than good things?
I find the same is true of people. It's easier for me to remember people who have wronged me than people who were nice to me. Consequently, the most common names, especially male names, are associated in my memory with some douchebag, probably in grade school or high school, who went out of his way to make my life miserable. While I have met many Brads in my life, there's always going to be the Brad who threatened to rape me in high school, and consequently I could never name my kid Brad.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

It is!
I like her version with the 3 a's a hair better than katerina.
I wouldn't want to put my child through that but it is acceptable
I have a feeling I've met a Euniqua or something at some point.
Unacceptable
I wouldn't name my child Euniqua, I'm just saying I am pretty sure I've met someone with that name. It didn't occur to me until after the first post I made in this tree.
EDIT: I love the names of the old parts of my family. Not just norwegian versions of names like Peter - with both e's being eh but the english way of saying it sort of transliterated. Have a grand aunt named Abigel, too. (Abigail, but as Ahbeegehl. Straange name.)

David is an exceptionally boring name, though. Sorry. I don't mean to insult you or your name choices, Chu, but David is like the least interesting name I can think of. In fact, I'm pretty sure all the Davids I know are pretty uninteresting.
Anyway, if you ever have a daughter and never want her to have sex, just name her Bertha. There's no culture on Earth where that name is acceptable or attractive and the only even possible nickname is Beth, which doesn't really fit, but even then - Beth isn't so hot either.
Of course, you could also name your girl Chlamydia but then she could just adopt "Chloe" as a nickname and Chloe is kind of a hot name.
So what I'm saying here is that Chlamydia > Bertha.
Also, I think Chloe is a pleasant name for a girl.
My friend's friend/co-worker named his son Boagrius

KageraImitating the worst people. Since 2004Registered Userregular
Some guy had a boy named him winner. Then had another boy and named him loser. Kid named winner has a rap sheet a mile long and Loser is a cop who graduated college and goes by Lou. True story.
David reminds me of the guy who emotionally abused my best friend which caused her to get in her car crying in the pouring rain and crash it by veering off an overpass.
She was okay, but still. David.

In america using short versions seems to be perfectly fine for most everything, so if you want a john or mike, why not go with johnathan or michael
when she becomes a stripper, she won't have to change her name!
That is awesome.
Also, I haven't listened to them in some time. Perhaps tomorrow.

True.
