#14 Naming daughters Ani or Lucy

If I were a betting man, I would place money that in every Armenian family, you can find either an Ani or a Lucy (or some derivitive of Lucy like Lucineh or Lucine). With the myriad of choices available in naming girls, Armenians will generally name their daughters either Ani or Lucy. Of course, not everyone will name their girls Ani and Lucy, but most will.

Actually, I’m not complaining that Armenians name their daughters Ani and Lucy. If you think about it, it’s easier to say than something like Ankhosig or Medstikin. Not that there is anything wrong with those names, but I would take having Ani’s and Lucy’s be overused than Ankhosig. (Ok, take your foot out of your mouth!)

Try doing this for fun. Whenever you see or walk by a crowd of Armenian girls, yell out, “Lucy” or “Ani” and you are bound to have a out 50% of that crowd turn around with an “Eench’eh?” look on their face.
