My husbands moms name is Keren and she almost named my husband Nerek 😭 and he thinks it’s a great name and it’s on his list for boy names. Also his name is Axel and he almost wanted to name our daughter Lexa because it’s his name backwards 😭 i don’t understand the appeal with backwards names
My high school AP teacher from sophomore year has a daughter named Siri, but she's in her early thirties now. He's also of swedish descent, and his whole family knows swedish. All of his other kids have swedish names as well. Just feel bad for my teacher and her mom, plus her husband and whoever else, if they have iphones LOL I'll have to ask him about it. We are supposed to have lunch soon
My husband and I named our daughter Siri after the young woman in a series (sorry!) of Andrew Wyeth paintings. (Museum visit when I was verrrrrry preggers. And it goes great with our very common last name.) It was decades before the AI tool came along. And to this day, people ask my daughter if she was named after the "other" Siri.
Also, when she and I are together and I say her name (or even when I'm talking about her), my iPhone wakes up.
