Is this out of the question?

tenfour · August 2013

I've been asking everyone I know, why not some experts? We love the name Ari. But I have to tell you my last name so you can judge if this is a bad combo: Yan. Ari Yan. What do you think?

Bad combo

ktpaladino · August 2013

Isn't there something called the Aryan race? Like as in Hitler, Nazi, white supremisist connotations...so um yeah, bad combo.

Yeah, it's not the best. I feel your pain; we have a really short LN, too. It's ruled out so many of my favorites.

Pronounced Are-ee or Air-ee?

The Aryan Brotherhood, a violent white supremacist gang, formed within the California state prison system in the late 1960s--this would be my concern with the first and last name combo. That would be a no go for me!

Sorry. It's a bad combo for the reason you think it's a bad combo.

Geeze, I didn't even notice the first time I read it. But yeah, looking at Ari Yan again, all I see is Aryan Nation/Race. DEFINITE no.

This.

That seems to be the consensus. Ugh. Ok thanks ladies!!

I think you need a longer first name since your last name is so short. I have the opposite problem, we have a very long last name so we love the name Ari and a few other short ones. Good luck

Why does this feel like a prank phone call?

Well if my mind wasn't already made up, this comment did it!

Like others said - Ari Yan runs together like Aryan. Definitely no!

This.

Yup, this a joke.

I've been asking everyone I know, why not some experts? We love the name Seymour. But I have to tell you my last name so you can judge if this is a bad combo: Butts. Seymour Butts. What do you think?

This is actually not a joke at all @stickybaby. I'm bummed I can't use a name I love. Thanks to everyone who helped, I think i found something else we like almost as much!

Guess you already know that it's a really bad, unfortunate combo. What's the new name?

Is this out of the question?
