    Normally a name is something meaningful, it becomes a person’s identity, and it also becomes their first impression.

    So when your child hears the their name, what kind of perception will they have of themselves? When their peers and teachers hear the name, what kind of impression will them have of your child?

    Ultimately, will your child find a space where they will be accepted for the name they are given? If you give them a name that doesn’t fit with neither the culture and upbringing that you can provide nor the culture and upbringing that their environment can provide, then that’s not really doing them any favours.

    So if your entire family and your spouse’s family has abrahamic names, but they have a Chinese name, while attending school with predominantly Greek children then they will have some trouble identifying not only with their family but also the institution.
