I am mixed race with East Asian descent. The name is so true, they don’t change their name but so many of them chose to take up their white husband surname which is ridiculous and felt very try hard. Like you said, Mei-Ling Williamson and some of them also try to retain their surname like Jenny Mei Ling Gao- Williamson.

A friend has stolen my hen's name as her baby name! I won't say what it is, but it is a lovely Irish name. Pisses me off!!

Think I'd rather have the killer association then the fertility link.

"The name Hannibal is a boy's name of Assyrian origin meaning "grace of Baal, god of fertility and fortune".

I think regardless of the origin the association now will always be the film, for ex I doubt many people in 2021 are naming their girls isis or Alexa are they? I guess that is the difficulty with names you never know how the association will change

Bodhi.

I'm also not a fan of Teddy, after hearing it yelled about 1000 times at a baby group today, as said Teddy was wreaking havoc.

Hannibal was the bloke who rode his elephants across the Alps. I guess these parents thought they were so clever naming their child after a Cathaginian general :)
