Circumstantial Names

[iqsi.livejournal.com]

A friend of mine whose daughter has been born extremely premature has been named Pravi Sazana Vetarovich. In Serbian, Pravi can mean 'real' or 'living'. Sazana means 'fighter'. Born at only 24 weeks into the pregnancy, she appears to so far be doing good despite having somewhat underdeveloped lungs and needing to be in an incubator. She's tiny but she's more or less stable and her father is determined she's going to pull through, hence he talking his wife into the name Pravi Sazana. His logic is "one day, when some idiot on the playground tries to make fun of her, she can tell them she got her name for being a survivor and their parents grabbed a trendy name out of a grab bag". (I'm pretty sure that's dad-speak for 'I love my kid and screw everybody else').

What do you think? If you don't like the sound of a name, does the story behind it or the meaning of the names make it better? Personally, even though I've never liked Pravi, I just have this weird feeling their baby girl has earned it.
