I think we should make Puritan naming customs cool again, but like, updated to reflect Millenial values. So we can have names like Resistance Jones, Self-Care Williams, and I-Am-Not-Throwing-Away-My-Shot Anderson.

actually!! that custom came from opening the bible to a random page and naming your child the first thing your eyes hit
so really, it would be more accurate to go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random and pick whatever article you see first
Well, my first try got “She Radiates Joy” which is delightful, but then I got “Razed In 1548 By The English” and “Taste Preferences for Brussels Sprouts”.
I got Jake Sinclair, and I feel cheated and disappointed at this perfectly normal name.
And these are my triplets, ISIRI 6702, Position Ignition, and Federal Executive Council (Australia).

“If foreign names are so hard why don’t you have trouble pronouncing [insert celebrity here]?”
Because their name is well-known and repeated throughout TVs and newspapers and magazines EVERYWHERE so naturally, people will become familiar with names they’ve heard a lot and know how to pronounce them properly.
It’s not a conspiracy to purposely mispronounce your non-English name, nor is it English speakers not caring enough. We just haven’t heard your name a million times.
When Arnold Schwarzenegger first started acting in movies in the United States, he was billed as “Arnold Strong”, precisely because nobody could say his name.
TO THOSE MAKING NATIVE OCS
I see this a lot, no one has actual names, or any reference for names, that are legit Native American, varying among the tribes, for their characters.
Babynames.com and shit like that will give you names made up by white people.
However, I’ve got your solution.
Native-Languages is a good website to turn to for knowledge on a lot of native things, including native names. If you’re unsure about the names you’ve picked, they even have a list of made up names here!
Please don’t trust names like babynames.com for native names, they’re made up and often quite offensive to the cultures themselves.
