I have a lot of issues with the traditional naming system. Last names-- wtf? Take it from dad or mom or both? Why not neither? Gender neutrality. Lack of meaning (i'm not sure how i feel about that one). How do all of you feel about naming? If you had to choose your own name, how would you do it any why? My plan was originally to find something i can identify with (perhaps it was spoons, for some odd reason), then find an appropriate lojban translation, and if i liked how it sounded for a name, and it was shortenable to a nickname, i would legally change my name to it (and abandon my last name). What i'm torn between is choosing a name with meaning, or choosing a name purely because it sounds nice. What makes the most sense to you guys?
