I know its unlikelly in this board, but if you are a parent, or ever will be, you need to know that choosing a proper kids name is the most important task that you will ever do. Think thoroughly through it. That is all.
>t. Someone who is burning down dozens of years of social capital, and diving deep into years of cringe, anxiety and possible bullying (its a small country) to try to change the course of unfortunate fate. Sorry mom and dad. What were you even thinking? Just No.

Wrong. Giving good genes is more important. You can just change your name if you want.

No amount of Chad genes will save you from the curse of a name like Tarquin

There's no way your name is so bad as to ruin your social life unless your name literally Penis McCockring or something

I have closely monitored the pattern. This particular name despite bad phonetics and unfortunate meaning had some traction due to local political and cultural reasons, so there are quite a few data points. 95% of people bearing this name are beyond pathetic by middle age despite their financial situation and looks (dont forget Dorian Gray effect) the vast majority are lonely, deranged schizos.
Me personally, i'm easilly top 10% in intelligence and looks, but my life so far (29yo) outside work has been an utter failure.
It wasnt hopeless, i had plenty of opportunities, and maybe if i was in the top 5% i could pull this off and make it cool. but still, its a constant uphill battle. Additionally, theres a shitload of scientific articles and fictional literature proving the point (Rose by any other name would not smell the same - Shakespeare)

I'm worried that my name is gonna be like Taylor or Logan in that it used to be a boy's name but increasingly used for girls. I already know of a couple girls with my name. More concerning is that I know of at least 3 ftms who are using it as their new name.

The only convenient time to do this is straight out of high school. (Mind the cost of ghosting all your friends) (if you had any). If you missed that, dont even bother
