Quick tips when choosing very rare names
- Say it aloud and try nicknames and initials to avoid awkward combinations.
- Google it — check existing usage, meanings in other languages, or unfortunate associations.
- Check social handles and domain availability if uniqueness online matters.
- Consider spelling simplicity so others can pronounce it.
