We don't teach meaning of names anymore that's the big one. My coworker just had a kid and ran a list of like 5 names past me. When I pointed out what each one means and their origin he firmly threw all of them out the window and was horrified.

It was mostly random bullshit names with weird spellings.

He ended up naming his kid Herma. Which he claimed sounded nice, when I asked him if he knew what the word ment he said no.

His new daughter has a very unfortunate name.

His kid but like man... That's goanna suck later in life.

    In my family (and some friends families too) sometimes we came up with a name and think about the meaning of that meaning too, idk how much common is it tbh.

    I think it really depend on the culture
