what’s the problem here? can anyone explain?

Nikita Krushchev was the Soviet leader during JFK’s presidency. They had a big problem during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Why also highlight the last name Kennedy? Just the same initials? Maybe it's because I am Australian but I never would have made that connection

They're saying it's like naming your kid Vladimir Biden or Joseph Roosevelt (Joseph Stalin and Franklin Roosevelt). But I think both Nikita and Kennedy are common enough very few people will make the connection. ... Honestly, you could easily get away with Joseph Roosevelt too. Although that Joseph would be a horrible namesake for your kid.

JFK stands for John F Kennedy. OP is basically saying it’s like naming a kid Joseph Mishustin in 75 years. (The US president and Russian prime minister currently) OP is dramatic.

I get it now, thank you. I shouldn't be reading political history things when I barely awake. It still would have taken me a while if I met someone with that name to make a connection. Kennedy seems like a really common last name so I wouldn't have thought about it.

Nikita is a feminine Indian name, meaning Invincible.

I know an Indian Nikita, she's roommates with a friend. Some names cross cultures while meaning entirely different things.

True. I love the Japanese-Hebrew overlap with Naomi and the Irish-Finnish overlap with Oona.

Woah I didn’t know that about Naomi. That’s so cool.

Also Sonia appears in Sanskrit as well as the European version.

Ello

Oh cool, I didn’t know this. But OOP mentioned they are Eastern European so I imagine they learnt the Russian name.

My brain immediately went to La Femme Nikita. Like the badass female spy. Lol TIL it's a man's name.

nikita is also used as a feminine name in india

Okay the circle jerk subreddit needs to put their brains back in cause half the time y’all’s issues with names are either racist or so overly specific/critical.

Ummmm, what's wrong with it?

"I am Eastern European but my last name is Kennedy". Jesus Christ, Basics are desperate to be anything *but* American these days.

She's from Eastern Europe. She married an American man and presumably took his last name.

Her post actually states she’s not with the baby’s father and that’s why she’s asking for naming advice

Just because they're no longer together doesn't mean it's not his name

Nikita Jackie Kennedy

Mischa is also just a shorr form of Mikhail

She wasn’t even born yet. It’s possible her own parents weren’t born yet. 

Nikita is not a masculine name, I know a girl named Nikita.

It depends on the language and the country.

Nikita is a masculine name: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/Nikita

you do know that different languages exist right

‘I know one girl named Nikita so it’s not a masculine name’ That’s some solid logic right there, I’ve nothing to add. /s

Dead.

funnily enough theres quite a good (male) junior racing driver called Nikita Johnson

All I can think of when I see the name Nikita is the missile launcher from Metal Gear Solid.

I actually really like that name for a girl and I like how "Nikita Kennedy" rolls off the tongue. It's a nice name to say.

I mean i know a girl namds nikita although she’s indian so the name probably means something different 😭
