Skeptical about name
| Sat, 02-11-2006 - 7:34am |
So I am not a big Star Wars fan. I like the movies okay, but by far I am not obsessed. When I watched the Star Wars movies, I heard the name Anakin and instantly fell in love with it. I am due in June and if we have a boy, I plan to name him Anikin William. I spelled it a little different, but I love the way that it sounds. I am worried though that some people will make fun. I mean, by the time he starts school in 5 years, Star Wars wont be as popular I think. Now that there are no more movies coming out I think whats left of the Mania will end. Advise please, and please be kind!

I had this name on my list....but for a girl and spelled Annakyn. When I saw the name I didn't relate it to Star Wars because I've never seen it or been the least bit interested in it. However, many people on this board clued me in to where they've heard it, lol. I still do like it but I like others more. I'd use it though regardless of what others may think. I do see it as a girl's name because of the 'anna' sound at the beginning. If you like it for a boy.....then go for it!

My name being Terra is also from Gone With the Wind and sometimes now people do relate the two. It doesn't bother me any.
Terra.

I don't think Anakin can be compared to Luke or Scarlett. Those are names that pre-date their famous use in a book or film. Luke is biblical, you don't get much older or more established than that! Anakin, regardless of spelling, is a creation of Star Wars and will always be known as such. I'd feel very very sorry for a child with that name.
