I got a IRL boomer friend who is a normal person untouched by the rot of internet
She rescued a cat and called it Lola, but the cat ended up being small so she calls it "Lolita" and everytime she mentions it I got a fight-or-flight response until I remember she is normal and pure.
And I can't explain her why she picked a bad name for the cat
Oh yeah we have that one in german as well, it's a hebrew name, the youngest son of Isaacs name and one of the twelve tribes of Israel. People don't really give names based on meaning here though so it didn't occur to me to read it that way. Do people care about meaning in spanish culture? Because in Turkey if someone called Yeter talks about their younger sibling (and in turkish the words for older siblings differ from the words for younger siblings) he immediately implicates his parents weak pull-out game
now realizing how narrow all the charts comparing contraceptive methods are. they all include "rhythm method". but never seen one with naming conventions.
and maybe there is some effectiveness to it? you are declaring your intentions for the whole community to know about so perhaps that provides some social pressure or even assistance. Or it could be pressure in the opposite direction if your community is more to the natalist tendency. someone do a literature review plz.
that reminds me of a old fashioned and kinda chauvinistic name that ppl used to give their daughters in chinese: 招娣 which literally means to "beckon a younger brother" basically saying that they hoped the next one would be a boy
Ah, I guess that would be the big end of season cliffhanger then, Soledad meets a beautiful single mum with the same name as him and he wonders if he can love someone who shares his name.
Sounds like the idiots who name their daughters "Dolores" (pains) or "Soledad" (solitude/loneliness) in spanish
Lola is much better

No you can't. That's really pure
Turkish names can be wild to, there was this condom ad ages ago with pictures of kids and their supposed names. They are all valid names btw:
Birsen: just you (girls name), supposedly they only wanted a single child
Ilker: First soldier (boys name) oh well guess a boy too
Songül: The last flower as in alright we're absolutely done now
Soner: The last soldier
Yeter: enough
Imdat: help!
I can understand Imdat, the meaning literally help, but Yeter I never understood.
But a condom ad in 90s turkey has to be really creative and it was! I mean I remember it decades later lol
I was told it means that the parents are saying that they've had enough kids and this should be the last.
That is correct. There are some parents that think "No more kids, we've had enough, so let's call our last child 'Enough'".
we also have "Socorro" (help!) in spanish
In spanish we have Benjamín that suposedly means the youngest (the last) child

Same with Benjamin here

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Thats fucking bleak wtf
"Soledad" sounds like it would be the name of a Spanish single father in a really on the nose soap opera.
It's a girl name tho, but yes, it's perfect for a soap opera

Isn't that a name of a pro-U.S Latina terrorist in Ben Shapiro's "True Allegiance" novel, lmao....
Dolores is just a Catholic thing, from "Nuestra Señora de los Dolores" (Our Lady of Sorrows), a title for Mary.
So fucking what, it's a horrible omen obvious to anyone no matter how catholic. Might as well call your daughter Pandora.
If you name ME Dolores I'm putting you in the worst hospice I can find
Pandora is a pretty name and our unleashing all the evils on the world is funny and very girlboss.
Fine, there's also people called "Angustia" (anguish)

My kid has a classmate named Loki and I'm like 😬 uh y'all sure about that one?

Capeshit and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race
Anyways, what does Loki means? God of mischief?
Yeah. And a pretty dark one
yo that's loki sus
I once had a coworker named Odin. I get why you would name your kid after Thor or Freya - but Odin, that prick?
I find it blasphemous, but I know a lot of Jesuses and I couldn't care less
Too late, I already did, Dolores.
Yer going to Florida, motherfucker
Jihad is actually a very common name for Arabs
I didn’t know that’s what Soledad meant. Fucking cool.
Being called Loneliness ain't cool
