People with uniquenamesoften say that it’s a “complicated gift” because it makes them stand out from the crowd. On the other hand, it can also lead to issues with pronunciation and documentation. For the aunt’s kids, having names like Violance, Alyja, or Avanue could either make them memorable or turn them into the butt of alljokes.
Pamela said, “People are much more accepting of unique names now than they were a generation ago. There are thousands more names in circulation now than there were a few generations ago, and a higher proportion ofbabiesreceive unique names of all kinds. Nature and place names, gender-neutral names, last names as first names, and culturally diverse names have all become common.”
“But there’s a difference between unique names and names that are a joke, which is how I see the Violance and Violet example you mentioned. Those names are designed to get a specific reaction from people, which is laughter, shock, and teasing,” she added. Some commenters also suggested the same thing and said that maybe the aunt was pulling her relative’s leg or was aiming for a high shock value.

Even Pamela Redmond shared that “a name that’s very difficult to spell orpronounce,or that provokes teasing and rudeness can cause tremendous problems for your child for their entire life. We’ve interviewed adults with unique names, and many say they didn’t like explaining the name over and over again. [Still, as] they got older, they appreciated having a name that was distinctive and that others would remember.”
