I was expecting there to be something more wrong with it while reading that, like its a particularly weird or ugly cicada or something 😂

Tbh though I think kids would be more likely to tease her about being named after a cicada than moana 😂

Moana is literally ocean.

This way you can call her bug or something else cute

"If it makes you feel any better, I considered the scenario in which you found the impetus for the name Maua. So a few weeks ago I Googled the name to find what else it means, and apparently it's also a municipality in Brazil, pretty cool huh? Maybe we can take her there one day!"

i mean, this is fine. i wanted to name my kid Skeletor Starscream. it's the hiding it that's the problem + why would you marry someone who'd appear to hate the thing you're passionate about?

Everyone sucks here. Dad is a liar who abused his wife's trust. Mum didn't bother to google her own child's name and clearly hates her husband's passion. Those two should never have had a child together.

Also they are referring to their baby with gendered pronouns before they're even old enough to speak. I don't believe Maua chose their own pronouns, I think their parents forced feminine gender roles onto them.
