Are there any names that are weird for you to say?

Asked by JLeslie (65418) September 25th, 2018 from iPhone

My sister’s name was very rare when we were young, so she never had to call another girl by her same name. Now, it has become more popular, and she knows a few girls with her name, and she says it’s weird to call someone else by her name. I, by contrast, have a very common name, and my whole life I have had many many friends and acquaintances with my name, so it’s just normal to me.

One name that feels odd to me to say is the name Christian. I didn’t know anyone named Christian until my 20’s. I didn’t even know it was a given name before that. I’m finally a little more used to it. It’s not odd to me to refer to the Christian religion, I only mean odd when it’s someone’s name. It would be odd to me to call someone Jewish or Muslim or Hindu, and that’s how it seemed to me when I first heard it.
