I my mum isn't called Nathan......
It's what you grow up with that changes your perception I think.
I see Joe as wee *****s as all the Joes I know growing up were *****s.
An old school mate of mine has done that a few weeks ago, quite a lot of talk behind his back about how much of a sap he is over it.
Each to their own I say
Ive got three christian names of which I only use my second one unless on official "I could die/important" documents of course where I do use Charles.
it might be important to the wife and the guy doesn't really care?
or maybe they just like her name better
why should it be an issue at all?
Mia isn't pronounced either of those ways. A better way to explain it would be May-ah. Neither Levi or Saul are Jewish, infact the school in question is a christian faith school.
As I've already explained Levi is simply the older sibling of Jedi which is pronounced Jedi. As in the force wielding chappies from the starwars universe.
Jaykub, why say it with 6 letters when it can be done with 5 unless you're trying to be different in which case see earlier posts regarding being pretentious.
Regarding Jazmin, it should be pronounced 'Hazmin', that's the whole reason for that separate spelling from what I know. However it is just Jazz-min.
All children in question are from 'economically disadvantaged' backgrounds apart from Saul, Jedi and Levi.
entirely depends on the blokes relationship with his dad's side of the family and how he feels about the in-laws.
if you hate you father and love your in-laws I don't see it as too much of an issue.
This exactly. I do not get on with my dads side of the family and because him and my mother were never married she never carried his name. Really don't know/care about what name I would carry though...
May-ah is still fine, it has various localised pronunciations...and it matters not that the children in question are Jewish or not...the names are perfectly acceptable names for people.
it isn't pretentious, it is simply a localised variation...we see it with numerous names, often ones that are not necessarily readily associated with each other in modern usage. (Jason and Joshua being an example of variations of the same Greek root that have become separate names not often associated together)
It is generally only pronounced with the soft "J" in latinised localities, otherwise Jazmin can be pronounced the same as Jasmine, particularly in Eastern Europe (The Caucuses)...
That shouldn't make any difference. I would point out that Jeddi (with the double d), is also a Persian/Arabic word (it means Earnest) and while not common as a Christian name, (I know a colleague of mine with the name albeit not his Christian name) it pre-dates Star Wars...given that his brother is called Levi, I think that perhaps the name is not sourced as you are assuming. (I'm not saying it isn't either, just pointing out that it isn't totally unheard of.)

was at heathrow the other day and could hear some chavs calling out to there child named...... destiny
what an appauling name...
on a lighter note, a friend of mine has the surname "Ringe" so bought an online title, all his letters come with the name "Sir Ringe" cracks me up everytime lol!

Can see why that might raise eyebrows....
It seems to be becoming more common for the wife to simply keep her old name upon marriage... but the Husband adopting the wife's name
- maybe he dislikes his own family name and the wedding gave him an excuse to change? (I guess it could be a bit 'alternative' etc... if the couple like to be seen like that) Perhaps the wife is the breadwinner or just a bit of a diva and he's a bit pussy whipped...Basically what i'm saying in no uncertain terms is the parents of the kids in question are your typically Jeremy Kyle fodder. They are not from any locales that would have these altered spellings. The vast majority of them have never left the North-East pit town they were born in. Whilst your defence is admirable it's...misplaced.
online titles are fake unfortunately... anyone can fill out their name on some form using 'Sir' but it wouldn't actually correct....
Perhaps, I was just pointing out that some of the names may not be as chavtastic as first assumed.
Or Dickon Head.
