Re: The dumbest made-up meaning I’ve ever heard (rant?)

I think you're kind of overreacting, but I also think that there is too much fuzz to be "special and unique" these days. Making up some deep meaning to your name should not be necessary. You are always special in the eyes of those who love you, no matter what your name is or the meaning behind it. Even if it doesnt have a meaning, the name was loved and therefore picked. Doesnt really need to be more special than that, in my opinion. But with social media I guess its natural for people to feel the need to stand out and be special to the world.

I think the "special and unique" frenzy is partially why this annoyed me so much. My generation was raised with social media, so I see almost everyone my age trying to be "unique" and "not like the others" a lot. I’ve even pulled that myself, sometimes (though unintentionally).
