I read somewhere about a woman who refused to name/register her child for six months, so she could name him/her according to their emerging personality. Seemed a good idea tbh...

We never forget at my work an application from India, person by the name of Ramya Baby.
That's not a recommendation for name of lifestyle choice, by the way.
If i had it my way and lived on an island of no other residents than me and my folks and a once-ever-five-years-parachuted-in-person-of-different-genes who is prime for birthing, then i'd just go through the WWE history and look to call my son The Rock or Doink or Rowdy Roddy Meade'sBall.

Except for the fact that for 6 months you have to introduce your child as to people as what? and talk to him as what?

Consider Sorority for a girl.
Consider Superman for a boy.
But go with Rosie or Stuart.

Just don't let it out of the drawer until it's come up with something. A bit like Rumpelstiltskin. Once it learns its own name, it goes free.

It just makes me think we impose our wishes on an infant...
I think if I was introducing an un-named child to people, I'd explain the process I'd embarked on, and re: point two, in interacting with the child, without using a name, and watching their demeanour and facial expressions, begin to gain an overview of the infant person, and gradually formulate an idea of what they are in effect naming themselves...

Are you sure she didn't mean Blaise? Don't like it personally, but I have heard of a few girls with that name.
Stanley is awesome, a friend of mine had a baby boy this week and named him that.

I tried to get Alan Bjorn past the good lady wife on the basis that Alan is my dads name, and as she is/was a big ABBA fan, Bjorn seemed a decent middle name that would remind us of when we got together blah, blah, blah.
Al-Bjorn, that would have been just GREAT.

Similarly, at my previous workplace we had the custom of an Indian lady called Arminda Bath.

A lady in Sweden tried to call her son Staalman (Superman), but was denied permission. Although legally Batman is acceptable.

There is a girl at our work called Princess Apiah. Her real name is Princess Elizabeth Apiah but she dropped the Elizabeth because she thought it 'sounded pretentious'

In a previous job I did some document checks on an employee whose maiden name had been Butt...it turned out that she had a sister called Anita...goodness only knows what their parents had been thinking, at least they had a sense of humour!
