Yeah, I've read about it. It's pretty stupid. There are no real evidence that having a weird name will improve any aspect of your life - more likely it'll damage the social part because your friends will think you are an idiot. Which you are, if you think adding an extra 'i' in 'Martin' will spawn great economical success.

No.\nSome Jews changed their surname when they immigrated somewhere, but generally speaking it is not a Jewish name.

in addition to the political issues of the period and the impulse of approaching Germany and Hitler, which was the main reason for such a change of name at the order of Reza Shah, some people believed that the name of Persia just refers to part of the country from the Iranian point of view; while the name has been associated with our homeland for the foreigners in the past 2600 years. Thus the name of Persia should rather be used in dialogues conducted in European languages and not in discussions with Iranians. That's why the impression created by the name on the foreigners' minds is of significance, instead of its effect on our own minds. \n\nThere should be no prejudice about using the name of "Iran" by foreigners on the grounds that we ourselves call our homeland by such a name. In fact, several countries around the world are being called by their indigenous names. \n\n"Iran" is an honorable name to Iranian and Persian-speakers, while in the world culture "Persia" represents the ancient culture of the land to non-Iranians. The change of our country's name from Persia to Iran has separated it from its historical and cultural background in the minds of the world people. The number of individuals in the West to whom "Iran" and "Persia" have the same meaning is limited. Unlike the belief of Iranian statesmen in the 30s, today not the connection between "Iran" and the "Aryan Race" is unknown to anyone, but due to the great similarity in the name and European pronunciation of the names of "Iran" and "Iraq", a great number of Westerners, specially the young generation mix up Iran with the newly-founded land of Iraq located to the west of Iran. \n\nThe close analogy of the two names in the West has obviously been associated with the perception of their having similar identities. Even those differentiating Iran from Iraq, consider Iran as a land bordering the Persian Gulf with oil reserves and an identity almost similar to Arabs having no clear link to the ancient "Persia". \n\nA great part of the world countries annual budget is allocated to promotion of their feature on the international scene. The postal stamps recently distributed by the Swiss government across the world might be the best example. Though the country is officially called Switzerland, the stamps bear the name of "Helvetia" as a matter of pride. The country known today as Switzerland was called by the Latin name of Helvetia several centuries ago, which is not used anymore. \n\nAbout 70 years have passed since the name of our homeland changed to Iran in the international arena. Nonetheless, in many occasions, specially on matters related to Iran's history, culture and art, both Iranian and non-Iranian researchers use the name of "Persia" and the adjective of "Persian" instead of "Iran" and "Iranian" respectively, given that the latter words are not associated with any particular concept from historical and cultural points of view. \n\nThe name of "Persia" for "Iran" and such combinations as "Persian Carpet", "Persian Gulf", "Persian Miniature", "Persian Garden", "Persian Cat", etc. have been recorded in the world major encyclopedias. \n\nIn 1935, the Iranian government called on other countries to use Iran and Iranian instead of Persia and Persian respectively in their official correspondence. The two words reflecting the country's entire historical and cultural background overseas gradually disappeared from the Western languages collection of commonly used words, while the adjective of "Persian" is still used to refer to the language spoken in the country. \n\nHowever, following migration of millions of Iranians to Europe, Australia and America in recent years and given the carelessness and ignorance of some Iranian exp

It is a cute name but far too common now a day \nI always like Charlie for a girl but thats me. I like the idea of having a name that isnt so common. Mine is Melinda. Its not so common. though my sister is Jennifer and many of her friends have to refer  to her by her first and second name because she is one of many in their circle. Think of something orginal even go back in your family history to find some good ones!!

No, it isn't. Consider what's in a name. Is your child the vicar of Christ? No? Then what's wrong with "Mike" which means "Who is like God?" ? Yes, the name "Mike" is a question in the Hebrew language. \n\nWhy do people feel compelled to give children strange names? When you lose him in the mall won't you feel silly yelling, Jehovah,- JEHOVAH, Where are you? And whats with all the last names as first names, like Tyler or Jordan? Anyway, no- it isn't unbiblical to name you kid anything you want. And he can change it later if he wants.

I think it is unique. If I was you I would tell them their parents were not creative. I happen to like it. I have a very simple name Jessica. Not unique at all. I like your name.

Not bad.  Not bad at all.  \n\nBut consider adding something that adds a little pizazz to the name, like Derek Fitzhugh Lamont IV. \n\nOn second thought, Derek Lamont sounds just fine.
