I think the main thing is to keep an open mind about names. It is a parent's privledge to give their child a name, whichever one they like. If they want to combine the parents' names to create a new one, why not? It is unique and has meaning for the parents. It is impossible to please everyone with the name you choose for a child and someone will always wonder what you were thinking. My nephew is Rogan and my niece is Rylan and the first time I say their names to someone they ask me to repeat them. I usually get "well that's different". I'd far rather have a unique name than some of the older names we once had like Agnes, Ethel, Henrietta, etc. Bottom line in my books is a name is only a name...and I certainly do not define or make assumptions about someone's character (or their parents') by the name they were given.
