Obviously, giving your child a name that other people have heard of, know how to pronounce and spell and which doesn't make you stand out for no good reason whatsoever is a bad thing. Who would want to find it easy to give their name? How boring not to have to spell your name every single time. The delight that is being the only person of a given name in any situation so everyone knows it was you. And why would any child ever want personalised items with their name on? Just ludicrous.

The clear solution is for people to cease giving traditional "name" names to their children. All babies can be assigned a series of random characters at birth and be known by that. Then you can assure that your child has a unique name that is more than likely to be impossible to remember, spell or pronounce. Perfect.
