Think of someone older than...35 and younger than 20 with that name.

It's a trend, kind of like every asshole is naming their kid "aiden" or "kaiden" these days.

I see.
But "Brandon" don't sound so bad honestly

Lolno, why would she even do that??
>>
>>57865230
Pretty solid name, desu.

I have a Latin name, which has an equivalent in German as well (I am Polish).
However most German people (especially at the uni) always pronounce my name in the way it's written in my passport.

>tfw im one of those aidan
Wonder if i'm the only aidan on /int/

Because I had to chose a name in my Spanish class.

I'm not even part Irish. I'm Anglo-Dutch-Swedish. At least my Dad didn't go with his 2nd choice, Gunner.

This is something I dislike about murrica. How people change their names to be more anglo sounding when they move there. It destroys their cultural identity

But I am. My grandma's from Holland, my grandfather's parents immigrated from Sweden, and my Mom's family can be traced back before the revolution.
>>
>>57865324
No. I'm irish and chinese.
>>
>>57865357
America will have more Swedish culture in 20 years than Sweden will, though.

I'm happy to share Frog-bantering duties if you want

What a nonsense. Fortunately, we don't have such bullshit in our schools. But i still don't understand why would anyone think it's a good idea to use a made-up during the foreign language lessons. My first name is of Roman origin, and you need to add only 2 letters in the end to anglify it, but still i've never used this english version of my name and never been called by anyone with it.
