don't feel like reblogging the original post but @esoanem:
This is what happens when the vast majority of your common names derive from languages none of you speak and so you’re all completely blind to the fact that names have meanings and aren’t just an arbitrary string of sounds to be spelt in as orthographically weird a way as possible.
We should return to the good old fashioned two-element names à la germanic, just with modern English words. E.g. Peaceking (Frederick), Guidewolf (Ralph), Noblebright (Albert)
Alternately everyone gets a random name from @englisce-naman, also with modern English words.
