Idk, something chill like Hakim Shaoqi... or Mikhail Sorensen
Each in different scripts (arabic et chinese) or (Cyrlic and Roman)
Eg. 少奇 حكيم (for completely foreign name) or Михаил Sörensen
Teacher: ...uhhh...
少奇 حكيم : Yep, I'm here.
Teacher: Got you. Where is that from?
少奇 حكيم : ...uhhh...
Teacher: Got it. Is Ashley Berkenstein here?
If it's your culture? Absolutely go for it. Not about to tell someone from another culture what they should or shouldn't name their kid, and it they get bullied then it's something you can take up with the school.
If it's not your culture, then it's a weird mix of "we're just so random" parenting that is going to set them up for a lifetime of ridicule, which in the end is selfish because you're not really thinking about how that will affect them. Imagine introducing yourself as Mohammed to your new Arabic boss, when you have zero ties to that culture or the importance to that name.
Sure, if you want your child to hate you until they are old enough to petition for a change of name.
Since when exactly do we give people names in a script? That's not how that works..
On second thoughts, I should probably rethink that...
Why ? What's wrong with using Latin letters ? Calling your child with the name of a character from a "current popular media" isn't new, which may includes foreign names or outright made up. For exemple : A lot of people called their children Daenerys based on the character from game of thrones or the Turkish name Eren from the character on attack on titans. Using a combo of scripts almost nobody can read is meaningless.
Idk why... I was high on my own ego supply...
It's okay. We all have weird ideas in our heads that we think are good but once we share them with see how flawed they are. It happened a few time with me too.
