I agree with some of the names, but not with a few others. For example, I think Amber, Sophie, Tim, and Kevin are normal Dutch names, nothing wrong with them. My niece is named Samantha, and she's far from antisocial.
And what does antisocial mean? Often, people of this type are social, but not desirable in their social behavior. And then there are also ordinary people... which basically means 'normal' people. It depends on where you want to point your finger, but I'd say, don't bother yourself with this stuff, focus on more important things because, personally, I find this pretty pointless. -

I came across it and found it a really funny article.
And since we all have to make a name choice at some point, I thought, I'll share it.
That's also why there's a wink in the title and "research" is in quotes.
Kevin is on the list too, and if our daughter had been a boy, we would have given her a name starting with D

Honestly, I don't place much value on that because I think a whole bunch of different names are beautiful. So I don't fit anywhere in between -

Oh, so sharing is actually fine, and I found it funny too; it made me think of a few A.S.O. families I've seen around... So keep sharing, Miep

Ah okay, got it. Your intention wasn't really clear, which is why I reacted. But I think people from "non-unsocial" families wouldn't choose such a name anyway.
I think Kevin is a nice boy's name I find boy names more difficult than girl names, by the way. What about you guys? -
madelene #7
Look, I think Kevin is also a cool name.
I think it stays nice.
I like Shirley, but I also really like Annemijn.
So I don't fit into any category.

I don’t think Kevin is a normal Dutch name; Kevin is actually Irish.
By the way, I’m surprised that Sophie and Tim are on these lists. -
Nannie ❤ #9
Kevin Iers, right? Didn’t know that. But it does come up quite a bit here.
Yeah, it also surprises me about those names, because the people whose kids are named Sophie are actually quite conscious people, you know..
By the way, there’s a family living nearby with four kids, including twins named Asley and Wesley haha. And this family is, well.. they might look a bit antisocial, but they’re actually victims of society, let’s say, and the kids end up lacking a bit here and there. I won’t go too deep into it, but I’m glad I can be there for these kids and occasionally give them a nice day by just taking them along when we go out for the day. -

Yes, indeed. In my opinion, Sophie is actually a neat, timeless name. More proper than edgy.
I'm now expecting my third little wonder. I notice that I'm mostly choosing names that are totally different from my daughters'.
So you can't always put people in boxes, I think. I probably lead people astray when they hear the differences between my children's names. Or how varied my taste is when it comes to names. -
Nannie ❤ #11
You're also a few years further along, so you've changed too, and so have your tastes/preferences. Everyone is their own individual, so you could question how much names really need to match... But I can well imagine that people do look for something unique that still fits well together.. -
madelene #12
But if I find, for example, a "tuttige" name pretty, and for another child it's seen as "ass" in some people's eyes...
For example, then I'm nowhere to be placed.
As that research claims. -
madelene #13
It's hard to pinpoint what I mean
If we take the research quite literally. -

In Germany, they think Kevin is such a "aso" name that you can't use it when applying for jobs. They call it "Kevinismus" over there. See also vernoeming.nl -

Daley
Joey
Christal
Chastity
Jaylynn
Jazzlin -

Seriously? I've never really looked at that name in that way before.
People will put you in a box anyway, good or bad. As long as you know it yourself, right? -

I just purely look at whether I find a name beautiful. And I don't go through the association list first to see if it gives off vibes to others. But names that I just don't find beautiful at all, that aren't really my taste, are Naomi, Romy, Yalinn. Not because I think they sound like associations, no, just because I don't think they sound beautiful. The girl names I find beautiful are Shirley, Annemijn, Annabel, Krista, Dafne, Deborah, Tessa, and there are a few more. I honestly don't know if I'm coming off as judgmental or not? Personally, I just look at what sounds beautiful to me, or what doesn't, without caring if it gives off vibes to others. -

I do look into it because I know from research that a first name determines how others treat you. Teachers expect less from a Wesley than from a Roderick. When applying for certain jobs, a resume from Phileine rises to the top of the pile, while one from Chastity ends up at the bottom. Giving a child a name that "the public" considers ASP or silly can be disadvantageous for the child. -

ASP = aso -

I do have a type in mind for me when it comes to the name of a person, but not necessarily so. More tough or cool. Which is actually kind of weird if you think about it because parents choose your name. It says nothing about the character you yourself have. It says even more about the character of your parents than of yourself with the name. Because you didn't choose your own name. But this is another story altogether.
