it’s what my dad wanted to name me if i were born a boy. my mom wanted to name me marco, which is more common than cernunnos. I have never heard the name before.

    Just my opinion, but your name is exclusively a label for other people to call you. If you don’t like it, you can literally ask to be called anything else, but how other people will be able to pronounce it or not should be at least some small percentage of the thought process. Especially considering that children can’t pick their own names when they’re born

      That actually seems very sensible. I was thinking about it from the standpoint of me and my own name, and not like OP needs for a child. For a child a standard name might be a better option so that it does not incure bullying etc. and the child can always choose to change their name, based on their own preferences, when they are older.
