    Okay, I get your point about the names, but I think it's more important to choose a name that feels right for the child, rather than just what society deems desirable.

    By the way, I'd never choose an "aso" name either, purely because I don't like them myself and don't want to be associated with that kind of type. But as I said, I believe it's important to pick a name based on feeling. But I do understand where you're coming from.

    Yeah, I get it, that's the whole point.
    I can also think about income.
    But I also feel that my child's name should touch my heart.
    I'm choosing a name that touches my heart.
    I actually already have a name.
    But unfortunately, my husband likes to keep looking and isn't as quick to settle on a name as I am.
    But yeah, we differ on that.

    It’s still based on prejudices, and I also think that research discriminating based on names is so... My girlfriend's son is named Wesley, for example, and he's in atheneum 5 with really good grades! I also think that a name doesn't say anything at all about a child. A name only tells me what the parents obviously find a beautiful name, haha

    I agree with Sh

  5. Nannie ❤ #25

    Haha, yeah that's a fact

    oh but of course i do have my favorites too ????

    For me, a name has to "feel right". It can be cheerful, tough, chic, or just neat.

    A name like Phileine might be chic, but Maurik reminds me of vilein (villain). So for me, that name doesn't feel right. Maybe it does for someone else.

    A name like Quinn isn't my taste, but it sounds cheerful. So for someone else, it might be a good fit.

    A name like Daley sounds like the English word "daily", so it doesn't work for me, nor for anyone else.

    That's pretty much my criterion.

    Fenna was one of my favorite names for a moment, but lately I find it's becoming a bit too popular, so I've already ruled it out.

    Oh well, first I need to have a good pregnancy, and then I'll just feel what fits us and the baby naturally :-)

    Pien, I hope you get pregnant soon and have a beautiful pregnancy.

  9. madelene #29

    And it's true what you're saying.
    As you get older, your taste in names can change a bit. I used to think Lena was beautiful for my child when I was a teenager.
    Now I'm not so into it anymore compared to back then.
    Kind of weird, actually.

    Thank you :-) I'm now under the care of the gynecologist, so maybe it's more likely to work now... I hope.

    Hmm, are there names on the list that I don't find cool? Also names that are used in the "ghetto" world.

    I really think "aso" is a nasty word. I also don't think it makes sense. In my apartment building live "aso's". Those are really the sweetest and most helpful people I know. There's also a couple living there who are really rich (on the surface). They get a new car every year, new plants every year. Interior renovated every 3 years. Those people don't say a word or make a sound. They curse when the kids play in the garden, they'd really do nothing for you. They don't even take a package. That I call aso.

    How old is this list?
    I thought nowadays the names with DJ at the beginning fell under the aso names.

    Bear: it's not the amount of money that determines whether someone falls into the 'aso' category, you know. Those loud, rich neighbors with all their money probably do fall into that category.

  13. Linda #33

    What a funny study, haha! My brother is named Wesley, and I always tease my mom about giving him such a "chav" name. But she says that 30 years ago she thought it was an "original old-English name." See, you never really know... Look at Sophie. I think it's in there because the name is so common that it fits all social classes. You might think you've come up with a beautiful, original name, but the next year everyone suddenly decides to name their child that, and the name instantly gets a different reputation. Just do what you think is beautiful!

  14. madelene #34

    Exactly, Linda.
    It was kind of the same for us. My husband came up with the name Yara for our first daughter.
    I thought, yes, nice, original, never heard it before. So you think you've given your daughter a unique, original name. But now I hear it come up a lot more often
    But when I was pregnant with her, and even right after she was born, you didn't hear her name anywhere.
    Now you do.

  15. madelene #35

    And Sophie, I see a well-behaved little girl who is very careful and follows all the rules.
    Very well-behaved, but I always see that kind of girl with that name.
    But I don't know anyone personally who is called Sophie.

    That's funny, Hummel. My name is Phileine????

  17. Phileine Guest #37

    That should have been without question marks
