Serj or Sergei

[sweatydog.livejournal.com]

For some reason I'd never thought of this name before but it makes me really happy both because Serj Tankian (system of a down) has been my favorite singer since I was 12 and because we once had a waiter at the olive garden named Sergei who made me really happy when I was depressed. (he was really sweet and gave us a bajillian Andes mints)

So here:

Serj or Sergei WDYT?

the world is becoming a melting pot and I'm multiracial and my best friend is and half the people I've encountered are. cultural lines are really blurry these days so I say, if you like it. USE IT.

I agree. :)

For the most part I agree, and I don't think it's necessarily a "don't do this!" thing if you like the name. I just think it's weird to see a little Irish boy with red hair named Giovanni O'Donnell. It just seems weird for some reason. I mean, there are some names that are universal, but I think it's kind of weird to use names that are so specific to a certain culture unless it's your culture. And Sergei is definitely an example of that.

I think Giovanni O'donnell sounds cute ^.^ its really a to each his own kind of thing.
