Turkish names can be wild to, there was this condom ad ages ago with pictures of kids and their supposed names. They are all valid names btw:
Birsen: just you (girls name), supposedly they only wanted a single child
Ilker: First soldier (boys name) oh well guess a boy too
Songül: The last flower as in alright we're absolutely done now
Soner: The last soldier
Yeter: enough
Imdat: help!
I can understand Imdat, the meaning literally help, but Yeter I never understood.
But a condom ad in 90s turkey has to be really creative and it was! I mean I remember it decades later lol
we also have "Socorro" (help!) in spanish
In spanish we have Benjamín that suposedly means the youngest (the last) child
Oh yeah we have that one in german as well, it's a hebrew name, the youngest son of Isaacs name and one of the twelve tribes of Israel. People don't really give names based on meaning here though so it didn't occur to me to read it that way. Do people care about meaning in spanish culture? Because in Turkey if someone called Yeter talks about their younger sibling (and in turkish the words for older siblings differ from the words for younger siblings) he immediately implicates his parents weak pull-out game
Same with Benjamin here
now realizing how narrow all the charts comparing contraceptive methods are. they all include "rhythm method". but never seen one with naming conventions.
and maybe there is some effectiveness to it? you are declaring your intentions for the whole community to know about so perhaps that provides some social pressure or even assistance. Or it could be pressure in the opposite direction if your community is more to the natalist tendency. someone do a literature review plz.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
that reminds me of a old fashioned and kinda chauvinistic name that ppl used to give their daughters in chinese: 招娣 which literally means to "beckon a younger brother" basically saying that they hoped the next one would be a boy
Thats fucking bleak wtf
