Why do lots of african american people name there babies oddly?
Such as Kenisha, Latoya etc
Why do lots of african american people name there babies oddly?
Simply, because they want to....
Reply:That is a matter of opinion. Why are those names odd to you? My name is Spanish and I am African-American. Just because the name is foreign to you does not mean that it is something strange. These are common names which became popular in the 1980s where many Blacks wanted to create separate identities. If the names bother you do not name your child by these names.
All names are created by people. These names are no different from other names. Latoya is a derivative of Victoria. Kenisha is simply a feminine variant of Ken. They do sound different but I can think of worse names...
Reply:i've seen some white people with names like shaniqua..and beside it's because it's not ur name it's odd...like my name is jumoke (all nigerians will know that name because it's VERY popular in nigeria)...it also has a meaning too so yea
Reply:It would be nice if they would pick names you could actually spell. Or spell them correctly. If you want to name your kid Asia that's fine but at least spell it right.
Reply:HAHAHA.. I am Black and always wonder myself. I think because they have a foreign sound almost French sounding most of the time.
Reply:Jason Lee is a white man and he named his child Pilot Inspektor. Weird names come from everywhere.
Reply:theyre trynna connect wit their "roots" by naming them those names...but i bet nobody in nigeria is named shakisha.
Reply:I think people need to mind their own business.
Reply:I know of this white woman who named her daughter Apple. Why aren't you questioning her?

Can you make up your babies last name?
Does it have to be the mothers or fathers or can it just be made up?
Can you make up your babies last name?
I believe you have to use the mother or the father unless there is religious reasons - some religions allow last names to be legal even though there is no heritage line attached.
Reply:It depends on the state you are in, here in california as long as you say it's part of your family they dont care. You can say "oh it's my great grandmothers last name" and they'll let it slide.
Reply:As weird as it is....yes, you can make it up.
I don't know if this applies to all states....but where I am from it is legal! (I'm in NH in the US)
Reply: I don't think you can make up a last name for your baby.It has to be the Father's last name or the Mother's last name.
Reply:no stupid

Reply:My husband said his first wife wanted to name their daughter April May. He talked her out of it.
My sister in law's name is Pretzel Jean. She OF COURSE goes by Jean. Apparently the story goes that her fathber was at the bar when she was born and said he was going to name the baby Pretzel, because that's what he was eating when she was born.
I used to work for a guy who named their baby Henry. Not an odd name, but really outdated. Sounds like a name for an 80 year old guy, not a baby. I thought maybe it was a family name, but they named their cat Betsy, so I think they just liked old-fashioned sounding names.
Some weirdo in Zion, Illinois just legally changed his name to In God We Trust (first name is In God, last name is We Trust). Not a baby name, but as long as were are on the subject of weird names...
Reply:I don't know any kids personally with a bad or weird name. If you want to count mine and my brother's names; but those names are Spanish. They fit perfectly well when considered in that way, but sound unusual in English.
Mine--Jesus Andres (heh-soos ahn-dress)--in English means Jesus Andrew
Brother--Hector Saul (heck-ter sah-ool)--spelled the same in English. Names come from Prince Hector of Troy in the book the Iliad, and King Saul the first King of Israel.
Brother--Jaime Santiago (high-meh sahn-tee-ah-goe)--means Jamie James in English.
But the weirdest names I've ever heard were from a guest on the Jerry Springer show many years back. She had a 4 year old girl named Funyun; and had a baby boy on the way she was going to name Dorito.
Reply:I know this girl named Daniella Lela. It looks perfectly fine on paper (or screen, as the case may be) doesn't it? Say it out loud: dan-YELL-uh LELL-uh. I'm guessing her parents didn't check how it sounded first.
I also know a girl (well, woman I suppose) named Kelly Kelly, but that wasn't her fault; she married a man named Mr. Kelly. She uses her middle name, most of the time, to avoid the Kelly Kelly-ness, but her middle name is Ann. That makes her name Kelly Ann Kelly. Kind of like Johnson %26amp; Johnson, no?
Reply:I had a friend who named her baby Imagine IamDiamond (Imagine is her first name and I am a diamond is her middle) but they actually call her by the full name. It is awful and she constantly gets strange looks or snickers when people find out her name. Parents who name their children something like that don't understand that they are making their children a target of ridicule and torment
Reply:Holy hell. I could never have thought up a name that was worse than Imagine IamDiamond. JEEZ. That one tops my list now lol. Yeah even if you wanted to choose a crazy name for your baby you should always balance it with a more traditional name. Wow. That was bad.
Also.. this is not a real name (I hope)... but I remember once while I was shopping and I had one of my babies in the cart and she started throwing a fit over something and I said, "OH.. drama." And a woman passed me by and was like, "Ohdrama".. that's such a beautiful name".
I hope that lady never has a kid... lol.
haha..

How do "fancy name" people feel about plain names for babies?
I do NOT want to start flames going, but I'm very curious.
I know how people who give their children ordinary names feel about unusual names -- they laugh. Sorry, but they do. They even trade stories of the funniest names. And there's a certain amount of snobbery involved, too, figuring that people who give their children strange names must themselves be not too smart or not too educated.
So, how do people who give their children unusual, made-up names look on those who give ordinary names? Do they just think we're stupid? Boring? Unimaginative? Can't think of anything else? Don't love our kids much?
As I said, I don't want flames. I've tried to be honest, though, and I would really like some honest answers. How do people who name their child Merlot feel about those who name their child Mary?
How do "fancy name" people feel about plain names for babies?
I am naming my daughter River, and also am fond of the name Coral for a girl. BUT for a boy I love the name James Michael (although we also liked Odin) and my second favorite name for a girl was Nicholle Angelle. As you can see, I like both traditional and non traditional names. I dont think badly on anyone who chooses a traditional name for their child. Each child is unique and their names are usually carefully chosen by loving parents, thus making each and every name special. The only thing I wish is that people who prefer more traditional names would not be so quick to judge on names that sound a bit different to them. Because, honestly when you look at it, the name River is not very different from the more traditional name Brooke. People are just accustomed to hearing one more than the other.
Reply:that's how it is.
Some people like unusual names, and they think people that name a regular name is boring, or the other way around.
People always gonna do different things and other people will talk about it................that's r world!!!
Reply:I don't really comment on what people name their children unless they ask. My name and my daughter's names are not common, but not strangely different. I mean, in my opinion, regardless of what your child's name is the other kids will only find something else to tease them about. And for people who think that they will have trouble finding good jobs as they get older, look at Condalezza Rice, I don't care for the name, but it's not mine, so I don't care. Some people just want their child to stand out in the crowd.
Reply:Giving a child a made up name is not doing the child any favours. With a normal name like Mary, they won't get teased at school as much about it. If they want to change their names to something more extraordinary in the future they can.
Parents only name their children with those weird made up names because they sound "cute" to them. Not to the child.
Reply:its an individual thing and i think we all name our children with names that we like ourselves. i mean our parents pick our names so if we have unusual names that is down to our parents not us... so i hope that people respect the fact as parents we have a right to choose our children's names, and it may not be to everyone taste... my name is fairly plain, and my children's names were in the middle, i am pregnant now and my partner is trying to get me to agree to some very unusual names. i personally don't like any of them, but then again his name is unusual so i don't know if that had anything to do with it... interesting question though
Reply:We give our children names we like and we think is meant for the child. I believe most of the parents try to think how the name would affect the kid`s life, but I`ve also heard many stories of a name, which the parents knew when they saw the baby. (My sister had many names in mind for nine months, but when the baby was there, non of them was no good, because the baby looked like "Mathilda".)
I don`t think anything of the parents by their child`s name, but maybe if I know why the name was given.
If the ordinary name just feels right, then fine...
But if you are scared of what others might think and just give an ordinary name, because you have to...Not good.
Styles change and "special" can become everyday thing. My name for example is rare in my age-group, but now there are many kids with this name. In Finland the old and traditional names have also become more and more popular - the same names that once just to be too old-fashioned.
Reply:I think it's a personal decision. My first child is Brantley. We love it. Our friends love it and it's perfect for him. I find very common names, just that too common for me, but I dont' care if others use them. On the other hand I find the extremes like naming your child Apple a bit ridiculous but then I dont' live in CA!
Reply:I think you should name you child the name your and your husband loves.
Yes, both need to love it
I like Elizabeth, Michaela, Hayley, Julia, Chandi, Shawnee, Sarah, Abrianna, Catherine, Catarina
I like many names. My husband was not as open as I am
I do not like made up names like Nevaeh or misspelled names
I just think that's dumb
There are more name out there, why do you need to make up a name or spelling
The worst spelling I saw was Justine spelled, Gestyn, I would never in my life would think that's Justine. Spelling the name wrong, does not make the name Unique
Chandi, is a unique name, that's not made up, or spell wrong
They are name Chanda, it's a different name.
I hope this helps
IF I do not like a name of a person, I do not tell them. I will say what an pretty name.
Reply:I personally don't have a true preference. There are just names I've liked since I was younger and some of those are a tad unusual and others are more mainstream and "ordinary." I want to name my son Kona Jace. It's unusual and people say he will be teased for it and probably THINK I'm uneducated. If they paid close attention, they'd see that I'm an intelligent person.
I've seen a room full of kids (this being about 31) where at least five girls were named Ashley. Another three were named Jessica. Three boys named Jordan. Or Chris. I don't like think a child should have to go by their initials throughout life. (Most middle names used are just as common as the first name. There could be three Ashley Marie's) I've also known cases where there were two girls in the school with the same exact name.
So, no. I don't feel that a person who names their child an ordinary name is unimaginative. Just a little too cautious. People assume that a child will be picked on because of their name. Whether they have an ordinary name or not, they will be picked on at one point or another. It's how kids are. It's how they learn to deal with pressure and drama. It's our jobs to guide them into positive outlets to deal with these things rather than negative where they build everything up then have a breakdown.
Reply:personally I feel that giving the name merlot to a child is child abuse! mary and other normal names are the only sane, loving way to go!

Each child is unique and their names are usually carefully chosen by loving parents, thus making each and every name special. The only thing I wish is that people who prefer more traditional names would not be so quick to judge on names that sound a bit different to them. Because, honestly when you look at it, the name River is not very different from the more traditional name Brooke. People are just accustomed to hearing one more than the other.
Reply:that's how it is.
Some people like unusual names, and they think people that name a regular name is boring, or the other way around.
People always gonna do different things and other people will talk about it................that's r world!!!
Reply:I don't really comment on what people name their children unless they ask. My name and my daughter's names are not common, but not strangely different. I mean, in my opinion, regardless of what your child's name is the other kids will only find something else to tease them about. And for people who think that they will have trouble finding good jobs as they get older, look at Condalezza Rice, I don't care for the name, but it's not mine, so I don't care. Some people just want their child to stand out in the crowd.
Reply:Giving a child a made up name is not doing the child any favours. With a normal name like Mary, they won't get teased at school as much about it. If they want to change their names to something more extraordinary in the future they can.
Parents only name their children with those weird made up names because they sound "cute" to them. Not to the child.
Reply:its an individual thing and i think we all name our children with names that we like ourselves. i mean our parents pick our names so if we have unusual names that is down to our parents not us... so i hope that people respect the fact as parents we have a right to choose our children's names, and it may not be to everyone taste... my name is fairly plain, and my children's names were in the middle, i am pregnant now and my partner is trying to get me to agree to some very unusual names. i personally don't like any of them, but then again his name is unusual so i don't know if that had anything to do with it... interesting question though
Reply:We give our children names we like and we think is meant for the child. I believe most of the parents try to think how the name would affect the kid`s life, but I`ve also heard many stories of a name, which the parents knew when they saw the baby. (My sister had many names in mind for nine months, but when the baby was there, non of them was no good, because the baby looked like "Mathilda".)
I don`t think anything of the parents by their child`s name, but maybe if I know why the name was given.
If the ordinary name just feels right, then fine...
But if you are scared of what others might think and just give an ordinary name, because you have to...Not good.
Styles change and "special" can become everyday thing. My name for example is rare in my age-group, but now there are many kids with this name. In Finland the old and traditional names have also become more and more popular - the same names that once just to be too old-fashioned.
Reply:I think it's a personal decision. My first child is Brantley. We love it. Our friends love it and it's perfect for him. I find very common names, just that too common for me, but I dont' care if others use them. On the other hand I find the extremes like naming your child Apple a bit ridiculous but then I dont' live in CA!
Reply:I think you should name you child the name your and your husband loves.
Yes, both need to love it
I like Elizabeth, Michaela, Hayley, Julia, Chandi, Shawnee, Sarah, Abrianna, Catherine, Catarina
I like many names. My husband was not as open as I am
I do not like made up names like Nevaeh or misspelled names
I just think that's dumb
There are more name out there, why do you need to make up a name or spelling
The worst spelling I saw was Justine spelled, Gestyn, I would never in my life would think that's Justine. Spelling the name wrong, does not make the name Unique
Chandi, is a unique name, that's not made up, or spell wrong
They are name Chanda, it's a different name.
I hope this helps
IF I do not like a name of a person, I do not tell them. I will say what an pretty name.
Reply:I personally don't have a true preference. There are just names I've liked since I was younger and some of those are a tad unusual and others are more mainstream and "ordinary." I want to name my son Kona Jace. It's unusual and people say he will be teased for it and probably THINK I'm uneducated. If they paid close attention, they'd see that I'm an intelligent person.
I've seen a room full of kids (this being about 31) where at least five girls were named Ashley. Another three were named Jessica. Three boys named Jordan. Or Chris. I don't like think a child should have to go by their initials throughout life. (Most middle names used are just as common as the first name. There could be three Ashley Marie's) I've also known cases where there were two girls in the school with the same exact name.
So, no. I don't feel that a person who names their child an ordinary name is unimaginative. Just a little too cautious. People assume that a child will be picked on because of their name. Whether they have an ordinary name or not, they will be picked on at one point or another. It's how kids are. It's how they learn to deal with pressure and drama. It's our jobs to guide them into positive outlets to deal with these things rather than negative where they build everything up then have a breakdown.
Reply:personally I feel that giving the name merlot to a child is child abuse! mary and other normal names are the only sane, loving way to go!
What a way to tell critical family member the babies name and let them know you don't want to hear....?

Wait until he or she is born, then announce it as THEIR name. Very few people will criticize the moniker of a child already wearing it. :)
Reply:i like irish mommy's answer best, and hope she wins!
but i think you should just say its MY baby and i LIKE the name, i dont care what YOU think of the name, if you don't like it that much stay the EFF out of our lives.
seriously, why should some one care that much about a childs name that isnt even theirs????
i just dont get it?
Reply:My kids have normal classic names. Nothing strange, trendy or unique where I really wanted advice. But people still have something to say....no matter what. My sister in law had something to say each time and it was soooo annoying. My second child was named after her dad, so we got a break after we found out he was not a girl. My advice, don't discuss it. Do not tell them the name until after the baby is born. If they keep asking, just make up stuff or tell them you haven't decided or can't think of anything, ask for help. When they offer suggestions, tell them how much you hate their suggestions for a change. That's what I did by the time I was expecting my 3rd. When we found out he was a boy, I played stupid with names. I even put a smoke screen up with a fake name. My sister in law was suggesting names, and I had so much fun telling her how much I hated her choices. When she insisted on a name she was going to name one of her kids--I said, then you should have name him that, or get a dog. At one point, closer to the end, we did give her the short list, and she made fun of his first name, how common it is...etc. She should talk, her kids all have names in the top 5-6. We kept the middle name a secret because he's named after my husband's friend, who she hated. Of course, she commented on that. But it didn't matter, it was what we wanted, didn't have to spend my whole pregnancy of her saying how much of a mistake it was, and my son was named. Most normal people will just accept the name at that point. My sister in law is not normal.
Reply:Best way it to be open and honest about it. You don't have to tell the child's name until the child is here. But if you do, just tell them sorry but this is my child and my choice.
Reply:It depends on why they oppose the name. If it's because you've selected some trashy moniker like Veronica Scarlett, you should listen to them.
Otherwise, consider why they prefer the name they're pushing %26amp; deal with it by the facts which I don't know.
Reply:Tell them you havent decided yet until you actually name the baby. When they come with remarks say its your baby and youlike the name so you'd appraciate no negativity
Reply:With my last baby I did not tell anyone her name until after she was born. There was no chance for them to say anything negative.
Reply:Just come right out and tell them your chosen baby name.
Explain that you love them all however, this is your baby and you wish to give him/her a name that you have chosen. Stand firm!
If negative remarks are made, ask them how they would feel if they were in your shoes and someone else was telling them what they should name their babies.
Good Luck to you and your baby.

Do u think the Duggars (17 kids and counting) should have their last babies name end in another letter besides?
All 17 of their children's names start with a J and they should have like, Johannah, Jennifer, (watever she is naming her next baby) and Suzie.
I think it would be hysterical
Do u think the Duggars (17 kids and counting) should have their last babies name end in another letter besides?
Their son got married in September
Maybe his children will have different first letters
Suzie would be fun
Reply:it will never happen. Michelle is the only one with a name that starts with something other than J. And I really doubt she will stop having kids b4 menopause begins. She may end up having a few more after this one she is pregnant with! I bet she has an even 20 at least...and I bet that she is pregnant at the same time as Josh's wife ( I expect they will have a baby by next thanksgiving).
Reply:That would be hysterical!!!
Reply:I think they need to stop having kids...or they should have stopped like...12 kids ago.

The poor kid would feel left out.
Reply:that would be funny and people would think they are crazier than they already appear to be

If they or he wanted to change the babies last name to my sisters they would have to do it thru court. We are in Indiana btw.
Reply:Well if you want to you can tell people that thats her last name but it will always acually be your boyfriends last name.
Reply:Yes. If you have custody of the baby you can get the name changed.

How much does a parent's socio-economic status affect what they they name their babies?
What are some good names for a baby from a higher socio-economic level and what names should be avoided?
Example, the welfare types in my hometown are naming their kids "Nevaeh" which is "heaven" backwards.
How much does a parent's socio-economic status affect what they they name their babies?
This question is covered at some length in the book "Freakonomics," I believe. I think the tendency is for people of lower socioeconomic status to opt for less established unique names (yes, like Nevaeh), whereas those who are from a higher socioeconomic level go for more established unique names (like Philippa or Emmeline, maybe). Names that are popular, like Isabella, Emily, Ava, and Olivia can't really be associated with any particular socioeconomic level. This is all generally speaking, of course.
If you want a name that suggests that you are from a higher socioeconomic status, my suggestion would be to stick with a name that is underused but well-established.
Examples:
Helena
Adele / Adeline
Pearl
Philippa
Imogen
Alice
Charlotte
Daphne
Beatrice
Cecily
Cordelia
Caroline
Henrietta
Genevieve
Edmund
Hugh
Jasper
Graham
Percival
Basil
August
Crispin
Oliver
Felix
Emmett
Henry
Elliot
Reply:People of a higher socio-economic background would give their child a name steeped in history or a family name. Example: Christopher, Edward, William, Charlotte, Catherine.
People on welfare name their second child whatever combination of letters their first child threw up after eating alphabet soup from a can. Example: Jayden, Skylar, Paige, Chase. They also have a habit of adding lyn to anything to make it a girl's name.
The middle class would generally give their children a first and middle name from the top ten list. Example: Isabella, Ava, Madison, Ethan, Jacob.
Reply:I think that, generally, people from a higher social status give their kids the unconventional names. Think about Gwyneth Paltrow, the big movie star, named her daughter Apple.
If you Google 'Hollywood baby names', there is a lengthy list of some of the most unexpected names that the stars gave to their children. I think being at a higher status does have something to do with having the bravery to name their kids such unusual things, because they're 'cool' anyway.
I don't think that people are going to say, "Oh, his name is Nevaeh? You must be low class.."
From these examples alone, it might show that people from a higher class center their kid's names on material things, while people from the welfare community name their kids 'Nevaeh' or 'Raphael', like the archangel.
Hope this helps!
Reply:Just because you (general 'you) come from a higher income background, it does not mean that you have class or common sense. And just because you are on welfare, it does not mean that you don't have class or common sense. Some of the recent births of certain celebrities show that some are lacking the capability of picking a decent name for their children. In fact it seems that the more money you have, the more ridiculous the name. And, it is probably because their kids don't have to work or prove anything like us regular folks. I believe people, of all social economic backgrounds, should pick names that are not based on their social fantasies and creativity, but based on names that will give their child a solid heads up in life.
Reply:There's a chapter in a book called Freakonomics dedicated to the economics of baby naming. It's a cyclical thing. Folks of lower S.E.S tend to follow the trends rather than set them, which is why the names that were once so popular in wealthier pockets (Ashley, Britney, etc.) tend to trickle down to poorer communities after a few years.
Reply:I understand your point - and there has actually been done research on this matter - that a certain type of name is more common in different social classes.
Wealthy societies (on an international level) tend to go for more well-established and old names, that never dies in popularity. Say for example;
Hannah (biblical)
Johanna
Matilda
Anna
Victoria
Martina
Helene/Helena
Elise
Elisabet
Kristina
etc.
Wilhelm
Erik
Victor

When is the due date to file babies name on Birth certificate in Arizona? If my wife has a baby today, is the?
If my wife has a baby today, do they need the name right then right now on the form? What is the process in Arizona?
thanks!!
When is the due date to file babies name on Birth certificate in Arizona? If my wife has a baby today, is the?
i had a baby in PA and in TX and both places i had to fill out the paperwork before i left the hospital. in PA i spent 3 days there and filled it out on the last day and in TX i spent 2 days and filled it out 2nd day not sure if arizona is the same but...you really should try to do it before you leave the hospital.
Reply:You knew for months and months that you were having a baby and hadn't thought of a name? I wonder about people like that.
My suggestion is to ask the hospital how much time you have to decide on a name before they file the certificate. At my hospital, they file them after 10 days to allow for paternity tests and affidavits of paternity so that the guy can be put on the certificate. After that, the certificate is listed with whatever information is available and it will say "Baby Boy" or "Baby Girl" as a first name. Usually you have to pay a change fee to correct this.
Reply:you dont need it the day you have the baby but when you leave the hospital they will ask for it because you have to sign the birthcertificate and then they have to send it in...Im from arizona too what part are you from and what hospital email me and maybe i can help out a little more
Reply:Well I had my daughter 3mos ago and they were quitr pushy about the name cause we were still discussing spellings! I had her at Chandler Regional. Why don't you ask them at the hospital. You need the name on the initial paper but I am sure it can be changed before you get the actual certificate.
Reply:you dont have to name the baby until you file for a SS#, it should be soon but if not you dont need it until you claim you baby on taxes.
Reply:I beleive you have untill the day you are dismissed. Get Cracking on those baby names!!!
thanks!!

Pick RUBY, it's cute and it's the name of a jewel and to a mother her baby girl is a jewel.
Reply:I think Lucia. Ruby has preconceived notions of being red headed, fair complextion and green eyed. She might not fit that profile.
Besides, if your name is Kiara, Lucia is a better fit for your daughter.

What to do about my newborn babies last name if my fiance is in Iraq?
The baby will be born while he is in Iraq...Can i give our baby his last name or would I have to wait until he gets back from Iraq?
What to do about my newborn babies last name if my fiance is in Iraq?
That's a good question... I would think since he's the father, you can give the baby his last name anyway. Has he left yet? If not, get him to sign something that says he wants the baby to have his last name, just in case. The best person to ask would be a doctor at the hospital you plan to give birth at, since they'll be handling it anyway.
Reply:The father does not have to be present for the baby to be given his last name. The only time the father needs to sign the birth certificate information is if he's your husband. Since you're not yet married, he would need to fill out a paternity affidavit in order to have his information listed on the birth certificate, and for the child to be given his last name.
Otherwise, only the mother's information will appear on the birth certificate, and the child will be given the mother's last name.
I know this because I did this just five weeks ago with my own son.
Reply:It is state laws. Most will want to father to be present to sign forms at the hospital. My baby has his fathers last name even though we are currently not married but to do that he had to be at the hospital and sign forms.
Reply:They don't give a guy paternity leave anymore?
Reply:no you can give your baby his last my husband is in Afghanistan and he too was gone for the birth funny thing I'm in gay *** TX too you on ft hood?
Reply:You can give the baby the father's last name. When I had my son before my husband and I married, he had to sign a statement of paternity form before his name was added to the birth certificate. But we were able to give him his dad's name right away.
Reply:It depends on the state laws. Usually you'd have to wait until he returns and he then would sign a letter of paternity thus giving your baby his name.
Reply:You can give the baby the last name you want to give it.
Reply:The father doesn't need to be present for you to give the baby his name.
Reply:It depends on the state where the baby is born. Some states require the father the baby to sign a form if they are unmarried. Call your local health department and explain the situation to them. I'm sure that they can get some sort of military exemption or something if they get a letter from his CO or something like that.
Reply:if you want the child to have his last name do it now ... it will be harder to change it later and god forbid if something were to happen to him over there without his name it could be difficult for you with regards to benefits etc. good luck to you and i hope he and the other troops come home soon and safely.
Reply:Its the mother's choice to give the baby whatever last name she wants unless she is married. I know that before I was married, I had total custody of my daughter and could give her whatever last name I wanted. Here in Ohio its the mothers choice, but as for other states I am not sure. You could always call up a law office, I got my information from a lawyer at Legal Aide about my child's last name and the whole custody thing.
Reply:Yes you can give the baby his last name and you dont have to wait for him to come home.
Reply:Ask the hospital or your doctor about laws in your state. Maybe if there is paperwork you can mail it to him for him to fill out?
Reply:Give the baby his last name. He will have to sign the birth certificate eventually.
Reply:You can give the baby his last name. I've also heard of women who aren't married to the fathers yet using their last name as the baby's middle name, if that doesn't sound horrible.
Reply:You can give the baby and last name you want and the father doesn't need to do sign a thing. At least with my kids, my husband did fill out a thing, it's all about the mother!
Good luck with the baby %26amp; with Daddy-to-be staying safe!!

I am not happy with my newborn babies name that my husband chose. HOW DO I GET OVER IT?
I'm ok with the first name but I LOATHE the second name. I had a c-section and we had to fill out a health card form so it was all a bit of a rush. I'm not happy with the name. How can I be happy in knowing that my husband is at least happy with the choice?
I am not happy with my newborn babies name that my husband chose. HOW DO I GET OVER IT?
What was the rush? I don't think you're required to have a name by the time the child is born. I do believe that you have several days to choose a name.
I do think your husband was taking advantage of the fact that you were unable to share your feelings on this.
______________________________________...
I WAS sympathizing with you until I read again and saw that this is the child's second name. Now I have to say; "Get over it" middle names are supposed to suck.
Reply:You dont have to use the second name. Where I live it is traditional to name your kids after the grandparents. For me all of which are names I do not like. So I broke tradition and named her something I ldid like. However some times I feel bad because I know now that they were just names I could have chose one of 4 without complaining.
You should discuss this with your husband because the child belongs to both of you. Congratulations and enjoy your baby regardless of the name which I am curious what it is but everyone has his or her own tastes.
Reply:There's not really a prescription for getting over something like that. If you don't like it now, you probably never will like it. The bad news is that you'll also probably resent your husband for it. Plus, every time you say your baby's name, you'll think about how much you don't like the name. Hopefully, once you get to know and love your child as that person with that name, it could grow on you. Because then, it's not just a name, it's your child.
Maybe if you have another child, let your husband you want it to be a team effort.
There's always legal name changing! :)
Reply:I have the same problem and my daughter is three months old! I love her name but I hate the way we spell it! Her name is La'Nae, we named her after my husbands sister who passed away and we spelled it the same way but I absolutely hate the spelling! It's dumb in my opinion! But it was really important for my husband so I went with it. Now I'm kicking myself for it. I think over time it will get better. At least for you it's the middle name and nobody ever hears it! Just think, almost half the population have a stupid middle name! Also, something my husband and I did, was we agreed since he named this baby I get to name the next and pick the spelling. he he, that's very comforting to me! :)
Reply:I wasn't happy with my firstborn's first name, either. My husband had it picked out before we even met, and it was VERY important to him, so I agreed. As the child grew and we bonded and now of course I love my son very much, I couldn't imagine him with any other name, that's just who he is, and I'm fine with it.
Reply:Why don't you two discuss why he likes the name and why you loathe it. Perhaps you can come up with a compromise such as if he liked Charles and you hated it, you could ask about Chauncy (Chon-cee) or a name similar that you like that he is lso happy about. Besides, you have to go through the pain of having the baby, shouldn't you like the name? Exactly! Thanks!
Reply:You can always change the name by deed poll if you hate it that much.
My Grand daughters middle name is called after my son in laws mother (whom he never speaks to)! and I hate that name so I just never say it! I hate the name as he is bad to my daughter! Of course I am not the parent in that case!
Names do mean a lot but wait until your hormones are better before you make any decisions but I really HATE controlling husbands more than anything.
Reply:Well there isn't much you can do but to forgive him for it and try to not think of it. At least it is the second name and not the first. If it bothers you that much talk to your husband about getting it changed. Sorry I couldn't help out anymore. God bless and Congrads
Reply:it his second name not his last name or his first so don't worry so when you sigh him up for school and stuff don't put his middle name the sign out. also you probably should have put the babies fist name middle name and last cause i am a little confused is loathe his middle or last
Reply:No!!! Its your baby too, and you also need to be happy. If you hate the middle name than legally change it, its not a big deal to change it. Just call vital statistics and they will direct you on what you need to do. Your baby wont know and its your right as a parent to change your babies name!!!!
Reply:You don't get over it! You have to talk to him about it. Is it a family name or a name he just picked out of a book? I don't think there is anything wrong with changing the baby's name if you can come up with a name you BOTH agree on! I had a c-section too so I understand how that whole day is kind of a fog for you. I would be honest with your husband.
Reply:You don't really use the middle name anyway so you probably won't think of it much anyway.
Tell us what name he chose and why. That might help us help you :) Is it a family name that means a lot to your husband?Maybe it will come to mean a lot to your son when he's older.
Reply:What's the name? This is why you should never let one of the parents name the child. I think both should always agree on the name. This is something you should have talked about sooner. At least you like the first name, and really, who uses their middle name on a regular basis?
Reply:Its his/her middle name. Not that big of a deal. Most people will never know what it is. Baby will spend most of his/her life simply using an initial for the middle name.
Reply:you need to find him a cute nickname like
James Christopher----JC
Thomas Jacob- TJ/Tommy/Tommy-Jay

Reply:In time, perhaps you will become used to it. Why didn't he consult you before filling that out. A little more information may have been helpful. Just try to learn to like the name! Srry

Reply:its just a middle name. its his choice too, if you love the first name then dont worry about the second name =].
Reply:He's just a newborn. It's not too late to change it if you're really that unhappy with it.
Reply:Would be easier to answer if we knew the name.
Reply:you gotta deal with it if you like the first name and your husband likes the middle, then it works out ok
Reply:Get rid of the husband and change the name
Reply:Slap him silly and you will feel a lot better. It works for my mom.
Reply:It's just the middle name..try to not worry about it too much because it is the first name that really matters.
Reply:welll, whats the name?
Reply:get over it!
We want to keep our babies name a secret until after the birth how do we avoid the name question?
We're finding out in two weeks what we're having and then will decide on a name but we want to keep that a secret since we'll be announcing the gender and in case we change our minds if he/she doesnt look like the name we choose. Im sure other parents have done this but I need a nice way to avoid answering the 'what are you going to name the baby' question!

Just tell them that you are going to pick the name once you have met your baby in person.
Reply:Omg, i am going through the same darn thing. EVERYBODY keeps asking me. It's becoming annoying. I also want to keep my baby's name a secret until after it's written on the birth certificate....lol Then they will know.
I just keep telling them I haven't decided yet. Sometimes I just tell them that I will know once I look at her. ;)
Most of my friends are becoming skeptical, they think i have a name and just don't want to say. (which I don't) but just telling them you don't have one will pretty much give them the idea.
That then leads them to giving you their suggestions...but just smile and take it all in stride.
Reply:Just be like:
Well to tell u the truth I have so many names to chose from that I havent kite picked one jet it's a surprise.
And if they keep asking be like%26gt; you'll know when he's born so please stop asking me and after just cut them of and change the subject that's what I would have done actually no it's a little rude I would have said it in my mind though *^-^*
Hope I helped Luv alwayz Baby GG *^-^*
Reply:We aren't sharing our names with anyone either (we don't know the gender, and aren't going to find out, so we have two names picked out). I am not really trying to avoid the question, but when people ask "have you picked out any names" I politely, and with a smile, say, "yes, but we aren't sharing them with anyone right now... it's nothing personal." I haven't had anyone respond negatively to me saying that. People are extremely nosey when it comes to pregnant women, but if you gently mark the boundaries, they usually are okay with that.
Reply:if someone asks you, just punch them in the mouth...that'll shut em up.
Reply:Yep, just say you haven't decided, or you don't have any names picked out yet. When you do share, people always say something bad about it, or have their own opinions - so it's better not to share.
Reply:Just say you don`t know.I didn;t have a name picked out for my daughter until i was 9 months.
Or you can say its a secret! either one works
Reply:Tell them it will be a surprise to all after the birth.
Reply:We have just told people. We are not sharing his name yet. period if they don't like it they don't have a choice. If they nag you then ignore them.
Reply:This is what we did:
We didn't bring it up.
If someone asked us what the name was going to be, we said "We haven't decided yet".
We wanted to get to know the baby a little more, and wanted about a month to see the baby before tacking a name on her.
We felt really pressured by the hospital to name her as soon as possible, so we named her 5 days after she was born.
I told some people of some names we were considering, but in the end, never used any of those. We named her something completely different.
Nobody got upset when we said we hadn't decided.
Reply:Tell people you are NOT going to name the baby and you have decided to use NUMBERS. Tell them that way if you decide to have a LARGE family it will be easier to keep track of the children. REMEMBER TO BE SERIOUS.

Reply:Tell anyone who asks the name question that you feel comfortable waiting until you see your baby and naming him/her right then and there. If they keep asking, ask them why it's so important to them that they know?
Reply:Just be honest! Tell them you've decided you don't want to announce it until after the baby's born. They should respect your decision. :D
Reply:Tell them Michael if it's a boy and Jennifer if it's a girl. You have the right to change your mind later, right?? lol
Reply:Just simply say " I haven't decided yet".
Reply:Simply say that you haven't decided yet. Which, under the circumstances, is true.
Reply:Just say "we've got a few ideas but we haven't decided yet." Most normal people will respect your privacy, but if the nosey parkers press you, just tell them they'll have to wait, like everyone else. It's your decision and they will have to like it or lump it. Good luck with everything.

How many people really trying to name babies vs. kids playing with names?
It seems like most questions are posed by kids who are probably really talking about barbie dolls?
Especially the ones that say my son is named Nicolai Chazen Rhilie Morgan. I want to name my daugher Jizmilla Tisaiannne Jaynifer Chammilleia what do you think?

What do you think of the duggar family new babies name?
it's Jordyn Grace mikiya duggar. I think that is the cutest name i'v ever heard! By far the best J name out of the 18 kids
What do you think of the duggar family new babies name?
It sucks like all the other ones. They are freaks.
Reply:I don't think it really matches their names and I wish it had been Jordan instead of Jordyn.
I don't care for Mikiya but it doesn't really bother me since it's a middle name.
I really like the name Johannah except they pronounce it like Joe-Hannah and I would say it Jo-Hana.
Jessa is also nice
I like most of the boy's names except Justin...I have never liked that name
Reply:I don't love it...it's okay. I prefer Jordan spelled the traditional way, and I'd rather see it used for a boy.
Mikiya...reminds me of a car or something...like Mitsubishi Akia or something like that. It looks too made up to me.
Grace is always nice.
I like most of the Duggars names...I really love that they have a Johanna. The only one I don't like is Jinger...the word Ginger with a J...ew.
Reply:I don't like the y in jordyn. and i would like it as a boys name. they are just ridiculous.
on a side note I thought the name Jinger was actually pronounced Jing (like ring with a j)-er. haha. i just realized (from seeing another post) that it was like ginger with a j. I still don't like it.
Reply:i love it!
it is the best name they have. and i love the middle name!
the name means:
Jordyn::Hebrew: Flowing down
Grace::Latin: Graceful, Blessed
Makiya::Biblical: a female version of Michael : meaning who is like God
Reply:I would do without the Grace, but I love Jordyn Mikiya. That's beautiful.
I live in Arkansas too. :D
Reply:I am in love with tht name! its very adorable! I think it is better then all the J names they chosen. One thing thou why all he J names? but anyways I think its adorable!
Reply:Oh I Love it, Jordyn is the cutest way to spell it for a girl! Congrats to the Duggars!
Reply:Julie Grace Duggar (what jim wanted) would have been adorable

Question about 2nds and 3rds on a babies name ?
I am having a baby soon and i am going to name him after his Great Grandfather. His Great Grandfather is a Jr Making his Name Charles Edward Ray II .i Want my Son to Be Charles Edward III .
I can do that cant i ? Or is there some rule about it that i cant do it ?
Question about 2nds and 3rds on a babies name ?
Typically, the whole "Sr", "Jr or ll", "lll" works in concurrent generations. Meaning, Generation 1 would be Sr (Father), Gen2 would be Jr (son), Gen3 would be lll (grandson)... I've never heard of this sort of thing skipping generations to become a lll or lV.. Just name him Charles Edward Ray... Is the rest really that important?
Reply:If he has the same last names than you can but otherwise it doesn't make since. Technically you could name him whatever you want but I think as far as what is common and tradition. It has to be the exact same name to be a Jr., ll, lll, etc. If he will have a different last name than his great grandfather than you could always just name him Charles Edward and drop the lll part.
Reply:You can do it. The II, III and so on are just added additions to a name, if you want them there you can put them there. They are usually used instead of Jr or Sr when you are naming someone after a family member that is not an immediate parent. They don't even need the same exact name, just a similar name.

How do you decide on a babies name?
We based some of ours off of past family names, and another we chose because it was something different that Bob,Bill, Sue, Kelly, Mary, or Jill. No offense anyone, it seems like there are plenty of us out there. You have to give nicknames, or use last names at work, because we have about 4 Eddies, 3 Teds, and a couple of Steves. LOL

Think about Familys names or Names in the bible or something
Reply:Basically it will come to you when you find the right one, you'll just know. Once you think you have it , you make sure that its not something the child will get made fun of for and then you make sure there is no one by that name that you have disliked or has made you mad etc.

Reply:Names that sound good to you. They possibly have sentimental value (grandma, aunt, pastor, person who saved your life), or they may not. Some go for names from whatever culture thier heritage is. ie, my best friends kids all have Celtic names. Mostly, just chose something that you like, good luck.
Reply:step one: look at the baby
Step Two: think what you want your baby to be when he\she grows up
step three: think of a name that sounds good and suits the baby.

What are guidlines for babies last name?
My husband's ex-wife is pregnant by her boyfriend. She has kept her married name, and wants to name her new baby her married last name. This does not sound correct to me. The new boyfriend is not giving the baby his last name. Shouldn't she use her maiden name for the babies last name?
What are guidlines for babies last name?
It isn't up to you. The mother can choose any name she wants.
Let it go.
Reply:she can unfortunatly make it any name she wants it to be..
Reply:Does she have other children whom share the same last name as her? If she does, she may want all her children to have the same last name. I must admit it does sound a little strange that her boyfriend will not be giving the child his last name. Maybe he doesn't plan on sticking around or something. Legally she can name the kid what ever she wants but I think it is a little weird.
Reply:Its not a big deal! Most single mothers want their children to have their last name! If she kept his last name then that is why! It isn't a big deal! You and she both know the baby isn't your husbands so don't make a big deal about it! She may be doing it just to try to get to you! So just try to ignore it.... or talk to your husband see what he says and let him deal with it!
Reply:She can name that baby whatever she wants! She could give it your last name or the neighbor down the streets, they are no laws stating you HAVE to use your last name..
Reply:SORRY SHE CAN NAME HIM ANY THING SHE WANTS
Reply:Usually it is the mothers current last name or the fathers last name
However she can make it her last name her maiden name or the fathers name whatever she wants it to be
Reply:In my opinion she should give the baby the boyfriends last name. He's the father. I wouldn't give the baby her last name only because it's her married name, it just seems silly. But, it's her baby and she can do whatever she wants, even if it's dumb.
Reply:Well you can actually give your baby any name you want. It doesnt even have to be a family name. I think it's weird that she would do that but she can. Maybe she just likes her exes last name better than her maidan name.
Reply:The ex wife's last name is now the same as her ex hubby. That does not change now that they aren't together. If she doesn't want to give the baby her bf's name, it should be given hers, as it is now.
Giving it her maiden name is ridiculous. If she doesn't use her maiden name then neither should the child.
Too bad for you.
Reply:She should either use her maiden name or the boyfriends last name. Certainly not your Husband's (Her ex-husbands) last name, that is kind of rude! Doesn't the new boyfriend have a little issue with this? I know I would if I were him. Your husband needs to tell her to not do that, then people are going to think he has another child, other stories and rumors could start.
Reply:ummm....ya it should be HER maiden lname for the baby's last name.......
Ta Ta for now!
~*Monica Brown*~
Reply:I am sure she can use whatever name she wants, but I think it would be polite %26amp; respectfull to ask her ex husband if she can use his last name on her boyfriends baby. Plus using your ex's name on a baby that is not his %26amp; they are no longer together sounds...not right. If I were that woman I would use my maiden name. Her married name has no relation to that baby. The blood that that baby will have is hers %26amp; her boyfriends not the ex husband. Some women do give the same last name to their baby so that the child is not ridiculed as a bastard when it gets older %26amp; if that is her reasoning then I think she needs to change her name back to her maiden or her boyfriends name. Above all my opinion is in favor of her maiden name since the boyfriend doesn't want to give his name up. In my state however the father doesn't sign the birth certificate nor does he have to be there when the info for the certificate is given. So the mother can put the fathers last name regardless of what the father says. If the father has a problem with it then he can take it up with the courts for a paternity test.
Reply:EX wife, why do you care??
Reply:I would think that if its not your husbands and he doesnt sign the birth certificate then she should not be able to give the baby his last name....i would have your husband urge her to change her name back to her maiden name and give that name to her baby if the babies real father wont give it his last name....sounds a bit messed up....maybe she is wishful thinking that the baby was her ex's
What are guidlines for babies last name?
It isn't up to you. The mother can choose any name she wants.
Let it go.
Reply:she can unfortunatly make it any name she wants it to be..
Reply:Does she have other children whom share the same last name as her? If she does, she may want all her children to have the same last name. I must admit it does sound a little strange that her boyfriend will not be giving the child his last name. Maybe he doesn't plan on sticking around or something. Legally she can name the kid what ever she wants but I think it is a little weird.
Reply:Its not a big deal! Most single mothers want their children to have their last name! If she kept his last name then that is why! It isn't a big deal! You and she both know the baby isn't your husbands so don't make a big deal about it! She may be doing it just to try to get to you! So just try to ignore it.... or talk to your husband see what he says and let him deal with it!
Reply:She can name that baby whatever she wants! She could give it your last name or the neighbor down the streets, they are no laws stating you HAVE to use your last name..
Reply:SORRY SHE CAN NAME HIM ANY THING SHE WANTS
Reply:Usually it is the mothers current last name or the fathers last name
However she can make it her last name her maiden name or the fathers name whatever she wants it to be
Reply:In my opinion she should give the baby the boyfriends last name. He's the father. I wouldn't give the baby her last name only because it's her married name, it just seems silly. But, it's her baby and she can do whatever she wants, even if it's dumb.
Reply:Well you can actually give your baby any name you want. It doesnt even have to be a family name. I think it's weird that she would do that but she can. Maybe she just likes her exes last name better than her maidan name.
Reply:The ex wife's last name is now the same as her ex hubby. That does not change now that they aren't together. If she doesn't want to give the baby her bf's name, it should be given hers, as it is now.
Giving it her maiden name is ridiculous. If she doesn't use her maiden name then neither should the child.
Too bad for you.
Reply:She should either use her maiden name or the boyfriends last name. Certainly not your Husband's (Her ex-husbands) last name, that is kind of rude! Doesn't the new boyfriend have a little issue with this? I know I would if I were him. Your husband needs to tell her to not do that, then people are going to think he has another child, other stories and rumors could start.
Reply:ummm....ya it should be HER maiden lname for the baby's last name.......
Ta Ta for now!
~*Monica Brown*~
Reply:I am sure she can use whatever name she wants, but I think it would be polite %26amp; respectfull to ask her ex husband if she can use his last name on her boyfriends baby. Plus using your ex's name on a baby that is not his %26amp; they are no longer together sounds...not right. If I were that woman I would use my maiden name. Her married name has no relation to that baby. The blood that that baby will have is hers %26amp; her boyfriends not the ex husband. Some women do give the same last name to their baby so that the child is not ridiculed as a bastard when it gets older %26amp; if that is her reasoning then I think she needs to change her name back to her maiden or her boyfriends name. Above all my opinion is in favor of her maiden name since the boyfriend doesn't want to give his name up. In my state however the father doesn't sign the birth certificate nor does he have to be there when the info for the certificate is given. So the mother can put the fathers last name regardless of what the father says. If the father has a problem with it then he can take it up with the courts for a paternity test.

Do you think that celebrities name their babies weird names as a publicity stunt?
Pilot Inspektor, Zuma Rock, Bronx Mowki, Apple.... what?
There are so many downright weird, strange and outrageous celebrity baby's names out there. I really think that they are doing so just to get attention from the press. You know what they say, free press is the best press. Celebrities bussiness is to keep current and to aim to be in the magazines and tv reports to get noticed by any means possible... but using their own off springs to get attention?
What do you think?

Reply:I think it has something to do with the fact that unlike most people, many actors have had a moment where they were forced to change their name to something else. Since the screen actor's guild requires every actor to have a different, unique name, many actors have had a moment where they found out they didn't have a unique name.
Having had the moment where they were forced to rename themselves, whether or not they wished to, made them more aware of how few anmes are out there.

Do you like it when parents dress their babies in name brand clothing?
I've noticed that name brand clothing like polo ect are selling clothes for babies. Do you think that these brands make them look more or less cute?
I personally think they are much cuter without the brands and look better with just with solid colors or stripes but I am just curious as to what other people think. As always, 10 pts for best answer, thanks!
Do you like it when parents dress their babies in name brand clothing?
babies are cute no matter if their clothes comes from walmart or designer boutiques
but i can see how ppl get carried away. I must admit i do. I went to macy's a week ago and they had these adorable ralph lauren pants with a matching sweater, both came up to be under twenty five dollars, they had a sale, and i couldn't resist buying it for my nephew.
Reply:I think its pointless because babies grow so fast and non name brand clothes are cute. I'll admit that my kids have worn name brand clothes but thats because I found them in a consignment shop for a couple bucks. I really don't think the labels matter, babies are cute wether then are naked or have clothes on. babies don't really care as long as they are comfortable and well fed
Reply:i agree

Reply:Yes, I think it is ahdorable.
Reply:As long as the baby is clean, feed and dressed is all the matters to me. Too many parents buy into all that name brand crap. Well made is different then name brand. If you plan on having tons of kids and buy a name brand for manufacturing reasons I say go for it cause they will be handed down. but to show off......nah.
Reply:i think its sometimes cute but really it seems just like a waste of money because the kid grows out of it really fast. and kids can look just as cute in non name brand clothing. but sometimes as a little nice outfit a little polo shirt is cute!
Reply:i think name brand cloths for babies is cheesy
i mean theyre just going to spit up on it anyways!
so honestly i think babies shouldn't be wearing name brands!
:]
Reply:It doesn't matter what brand they're wearing.
They don't even know what they're wearing, so would it matter? They'll probably drool on it or throw up, crew on it, etc. Then the parents will be mad that they bought a so and so shirt for a crazy amount.
Honestly, babies are cute no matter what they wear. I mean, who else can pull of that Halloween pumpkin costume?
Reply:I like my son wearing name brand clothes. Like he will never wear those 4 striped shoes. My son is sporting shell toe addidas. But at the same time Im not gonna pay $50 for a sweater he is gonna grow out of in a couple of months. Ill go to a place like TJ Maxx get more, for less. His mother just bought him some fake chuck taylors, and I take them off him asap, lol.

How quickly can you have a babies last name changed?
The babies mother recently wish to have the babies last name changed to hers, which i have no problem with. Could anyone tell me the cost and the processes of the name change. We are currently undergoing DNA testing.
How quickly can you have a babies last name changed?
you will have to go to the registry of birth, deaths and marriages
i changed my sons first name and it was very easy, you need proof of residency and ID for both the parents, you need your passports and birth certificate or citizenship certificate if not born in australia. if you want to change the name urgently i.e in five days you pay extra ( i paid $165), it costs $121 for normal processing that takes 10 days. i think there has been a slight change to the prices
use this link to access all the information you need.
http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/
good luck
Reply:I have no idea on the cost involved, but if your name is on the birth certificate then you'll have to file paperwork with the court and probably go before a judge in order to have your name removed. It's possible that you'll also have to sign paperwork terminating your parental rights if you're their biological father, but I'm not sure.
Reply:It can take up to six weeks to get the paperwork completed and filed and have the birth certificate changed. I suggest you start the process as soon as possible.
It is about 25.00 here, but it may be different where you live.
Reply:it really depends on the state. i know where i live, after the dna testing is done, the father can petition the court to have the babies last name changed during the visitation/child support hearing.
Reply:i am sure that would depend all on the state, but i honestly could not tell you about how much and how long. sorry.

Why are there so many questions about what to name babies?
Why do people care so much what other people think about names they've chosen? Naming your child is a personal choice and I don't think strangers or others should be involved with the decision.
Why are there so many questions about what to name babies?
I agree, naming a child is a personal choice. I do see people who seem to rely a little too much on "the board" when it comes to naming their child. "Whichever name receives the most votes will be our choice" is the type of post I'm referring to. I wouldn't have wanted my parents to choose my name simply based on the votes of complete strangers, and I wouldn't want to do that to my child.
However, the majority of people here simply post a name or a variety of names to see how people will respond to it. A lot of times the way the board reacts to a name might be similar to how the "real world" will react to the name. It's kind of a trial run of the name so to speak. At least that's how I see it.
Reply:Certain value judgments are made based on name alone. Not to say that it's right or wrong to do this, but people do this. I posted a question yesterday, "What name would you NEVER name your daughter because it sounds like a stripper's stage name?" The name that came up over and over again was "Candy" or some variation thereof. It's purely anectodal, but I think if I were picking names for a baby, and I naively thought "Candy" might be "cute" for my precious bundle, I might reconsider knowing what others thought of this name on an adult.
Reply:I know what you mean, I guess parents just don't want to pick a name that will a pain for their child later in life...
Reply:It's a personal choice, but you're asking a random sampling of strangers, similar to the random sampling of strangers that your child is going to encounter throughout his/her life. It's good to get some feedback before you give your child a name that's going to get him/her picked on forever, and maybe someone would suggest a variation of a name that you absolutely love, but wouldn't have thought of otherwise.
Reply:Go to a different website, then. If you don't want to see it, you don't have to look, you know?
Reply:Sometimes other opinions help sort out the overwhelming confusion of selecting a name.
However, I wouldn't select a name or not select a name just because "TiNkErBeLL4LIFE" in Sandusky, Ohio somehow found time between math homework and watching reruns of Hannah Montana to offer her oh so wise opinion that my precious bundle of joy will be saddled with a "krazy, stupid, can't u think of sumthin' better " name. :-)
Reply:I agree.
Reply:I know what you mean...I would never put my choices up on here as people can be rude and I would think of those things when I name my baby.
Reply:Because sometimes people need to be alerted that they are about to ruin their child's life.
Reply:I AGREE WITH YA
Reply:Because you want to know what people's reactions to the name is. You could think that Laricknageeselaciaplago is a beautiful name but if everytime someone hears it they snicker, maybe not the best thing to name a child.
Picture this
"Hi what is your name?"
"My name is Laricknageeselaciaplago"

Reply:I don't think that it's a bad thing for ppl to want to get another opinion on the names they think to choose.Each time I answer that kind of question I don't feel like I'm getting involved to something that I shouldn't.The choice of the name is personal but sometimes you can get interesting suggestions that you may like.
Reply:Speaking from personal experience, I actually prefer to ask strangers their opinion on a name... that way, you can see how much possible ridicule your child could potentially be facing... also, you have access to a myriad of ideas as each person has an opinion. but, to each their own.. i can see your point as well. :)

How did you pick your babies name? How far along were you in your pregnancy?
I choose all mine before 12 weeks (probably even 6 weeks!)
I used my favorite characters from books films etc.
Ben is after Benjamin Bunny (Beatrix Potter is a distant relative)
Ruthie is after the girl in the wonderful Housekeeping by Marilyn Robinson
Esther is the lead in Meet me in St Louis (my favorite film!)
How did you pick your babies name? How far along were you in your pregnancy?
I was thinking of names while trying to conceive I loved the name leah but wanted something different so I thought of spelling it Leigha then I wanted more different so I added an a in the beginning as in Aleigha but the spelling looked funny it sounded great but looked great I was about 5 weeks along just found out I was pregnant and saw on a baby name website Aleigha spelled Aaliyah and I fell in love with it. I am now 14 weeks along and I just know if I have a girl thats the name for me. = )
Haven't thought of any boy names yet hehe maybe Im destined to have a girl I dont know.
Good Luck and have fun with it. Make good memories! = )
Reply:With my oldest we settled on his name at the 20 week ultrasound. We were leaving the hospital and walking to the car. We had just found out we were having a boy. As we were walking hubby says, "Joseph Daniel". That was it. There was no more discussion. I liked the name and it was just as if it were meant to be.
With my second we could not agree on a name. I think hubby wanted Erik or something. I wanted Gabriel. We were talking about it one morning. My oldest was 2. I'm not sure how far along I was in pregnancy. It was after 20 weeks. Anyway, hubby was saying how he hated the name Gabriel. I looked at my son and said, "Shouldn't we name your baby brother Gabriel?" He says, "No mommy, not Gabel---Michael". Michael was a character in a book he liked. So, that was that. We named my 2nd son Michael James. We settled on James because it sounded nice with Michael.
With my third son I was 6 months. We knew it was a boy. We had already decided if it was a girl we'd name her River Katherine (River is from Firefly and Katherine is just a name we like). We knew that the second I got pregnant. But we weren't prepared for a boy. So, as soon as we found out we started brainstorming names. We tossed around the name Alexander with the idea of calling him Xander. During this time I had just started watching season 1of Supernatural. I LOVE that show. LOVE IT!! So, one night I'm watching it and it suddenly hits me--Samuel Dean! The two brothers in the show are Sam and Dean. So, we were going to go with Samuel Dean but then at the last minute decided to name him Samuel Steven (Steven is my hubby's name).
Reply:Well, I'm only 14 and have never had a baby or anything, but my cousin Jessica just had a baby. She had the middle name picked out for almost her whole pregnancy, but she didn't actually come up with the first name until she saw the baby. The baby was very fair and beautiful, so Jessica named her Fiona, since it means fair and pure. Her name is Fiona Grace.
Reply:The first time i got pregnant, we didnt have any idea what to name the baby. We decided that if it was a boy, he would be Nathanial Felix (Felix is a family name) because daddy didnt want his son to be named after him. He said he didnt like his name, but i did (Anthony). We ended up losing that baby, and 3 months later, i ended up pregnant with our daughter. We had a few names picked out by the time i was about 12weeks along. Sofia, Gabriella, Kimora....and a few others. I was insistent on SofiaLeigh Yasmin. But daddy didnt like it. We still decided if it was a boy, he would be Nathanial Felix. By the time i was about 30 weeks, SofiaLeigh just sounded funny. Kind of like the -ly ending of words: Slowly, quickly, badly etc. Couldnt see saying "My daughter, SofiaLeigh...", so we just stuck with Sofia Yasmin.
With my son, i really really wanted him to be Anthony Felix JR. All of our friends had named their babies JR's and it was a pact my fiance and his friends had made when they were younger. Sort of like Anthony, Larry, Demetrious and Avery were hanging out together, so why not Anthony JR, Larry JR, Demetrious JR and Avery JR. LOL, kind of lame, i know. But I finally convinced him to name our son Anthony JR when i was 34 weeks. Demetrious helped too because his son was born only 3 months before our son was, and he was a JR as well.
Sorry its so long!!
Reply:I think it's unfair to name a baby before you've met them. You know when you meet people and their names just totally do NOT fit their character at all, and as this childs mother you will know so much about your child the moment he/she is in your arms.
I say find some names you like, but ultimately wait until your looking the angel in the eyes before you decide anything. It's only fair.
Reply:We picked out both names when I was pregnant with my first. We had both names picked out at around 12 weeks. We had decided if we had a girl, she would have my initials (LRL). We had a hard time finding an L name we both liked. I really liked Lily, but he thought that was an "old name". I have always liked Lexi as a nickname, but wanted her to have something prettier instead of cutesy for when she was older. We agreed on Lexia. She got her middle name, Rosalyn, from the Shakespeare play "As You Like It"--my favorite! I've always thought it was a beautiful name, and it just so happened that my husband liked it, too! The first wound up being a girl. However, we already had the boys name picked out to. He was born 18 months after the first. He has his daddy's initials (SWL). The only thing we had trouble deciding on was the spelling of my sons name. His name is Skyler Wayde. We didn't really decide on the spelling until I was in recovery after my c-section. Good-luck and congrats on your pregnancy!
Reply:I always like a particular name, since I was younger. So, I had thought I always had my first born sons name picked out. To my surprise, I got pregnant w/ twin boys. I used the name I had always loved for one of them. The second name was very difficult to come about. I never realized how hard it was to name a child. But by the 7th month of my pregnancy, we had it narrowed down to a few names. We waited until the boys were born to decide what names best fit them. I wanted to see what they looked like before I made my final decision.
Good luck choosing a name. :)
Reply:First off we don't find out the sex of our children before birth so naming is a little different for us we always have to have one of each ready.
My first daughters name was picked right off after we found out we were pregnant. We had both a boy and girl name picked out. For the next two it was a little harder. The second one also a girl was named shortly after birth. Our third also a little girl wasn't name till around 12 hours after birth. And that was only the first name it took us a few more hours to decide on the middle name.
For the most part I didn't care if a name I liked was "popular"
My first daughter is Kaitlin. I have always loved the name Katie and new I would name my first daughter it. We chose Kaitlin to give her options. We call her Katie but spell it Kaitie to make it a little different since it is such a common name. My second daughter was named after a little girl in my baby sisters class at school. I thought she was so cute and sweet and I had not heard her name often ( this was about 8 years ago) She was tiny and had dark black hair. So cute. So we named my second daughter Riley, she too is tiny and has dark black hair. The name actually means Dark haired warrior. For our third I wanted something different (because Riley has become so popular and Kaitie already was.)
We picked the name Aubrie. I love that name and my little girl is everything I ever pictured an Aubrie being. Actually it worked out that way or all of them. Good Luck.
Reply:for my husband and i we just opened the Bible and started to look for unique Biblical names. We picked out 3 boy names and 3 girl names and waited for our baby to be born. (which we didn't have these names even picked out until I was 8 1/2 months along. Which is probably why we decided to do it the way we did. We had a boy and looked at him and said that he looked like Micah.
Reply:my sons name is declan i liked its kinda punkish like his dad, but its not so different that he'd get made fun of. we decided on it when i was 8 months pregnant. my husband and i were watching the jackal i believe and that was one of the characters names and when we looked it up it meant man of prayers which we really liked because i felt like nobody in my family wanted me to have a kid, my son wasn't planned, so we just prayed alot during the pregnancy.
Reply:With my oldest we had Taryn Elizabeth and Preston Duane picked out (so we thought). At 8 1/2 months when we got our final sono %26amp; finally knew that it was a girl, her dad changed his mind and decided he liked Alexandria better. So my 8 yr old is Alexandria Elizabeth (Elizabeth is after my best friend of 15 yrs), When I got pregnant with my son, we found out it was a boy about 4 months along. Their dad didn't like Preston anymore (which made me mad!) so it took a couple more months for us to decide. At about 6 months being the hormonal pregnant woman that I was I was completely irritated that our baby didn't have a name yet so we sat down one day determined to decide %26amp; we did, Clayton Daniel (Daniel is after my family) is 6 yrs old. With my 4 yr old daughter I just found her names (first %26amp; middle) in the baby name book, fell in love and was set on it at about 4 or 5 months along, she is Dannicka Cheayne (traditional spelling is Danica, I spelled it the way I did because my dads name is Dan and her dads name is Nick). My youngest daughter is Erynn Marie (Marie is after her paternal gma), I was so set on naming her Aislinn but her dad didn't like it. When he suggested Erin I just really liked it, just liked a different spelling better.
Reply:My 1st child I just opened the baby name book and picked the first name that I saw her name is Gabriella Anna and my 2nd I let my mom name her and it is Isabella Skye and my 3rd I named after my grandma that passed away 2 months before I gave birth and it is Lola Grace. My first 2 were named like 1 hour before I was supposed to leave the hospital.
Reply:Neither my husband or I had a boy's name we were passionate about. We were throwing around names when I was about 4 months pregnant (right after we found out the sex, of course). My husband's name is Brian and I love it and I love him, but nobody was calling my son BJ or junior, so namesake was out. He did get my husband's middle name which is Louis though. I kinda just said that I didnt hate the name Matthew and since we didnt have one of those in our family, it was a strong name, and it sounded good with Louis, it came to be - then.
Long story short, about 4 months.
Reply:When we found out we were pregnant, we thought of a few names for a boy or a girl that we liked. Once we found out the sex, we thought of more names we liked, but did not officially decide the name until about 2 months before we had it. We ended up keeping one of the names we thought of before we knew the sex, but it wasnt set in stone until a few months before birth.
Reply:from the time i found out i was having a boy i was set on the name Nathan and middle name Charles (thats my grandfathers middle name so that was set) at my shower everything said Nathan cause i swore by that name and said i wouldnt change it. well when my son was born i just looked at him and said how about Anthony at that moment he smiled (i have witnesses to this) so he became Anthony Charles i like to think he picked his name lol
Reply:I always wanted to name my kids after famous people. I started looking at names right away. I always wanted a boy, but had trouble picking a boy name. Right away I picked a girl name. And what do you know....I had a girl. Almost like instincts. If you have a favorite actor or actress try their name if you like it, if you don't look them up on imdb and see what some of their characters names were.
Reply:awww! i love this subject! What i did was my boyfriend and i picked out a girls name we liked the best and then we just waited to see what the sex was and we went from there,and then the middle name is his grandfather's name and the second middle name is my great-grandmothers name! YES she has two middle names! My boyfriend doesn't like it but i love two middle names, it gives your baby a wide variety of what he/she could go by when they get older, say for instance they didn't like the name you gave them, then they could choose to go by one of there middle names lol! Our little girl will be here in October and i am SOOOOOO excited and ready! Good Luck
Reply:For my first one, I stupidly agreed to let his father name him and he chose to name him after him, so I have an 18 year old named Freddy. With the second one, I refused to let him name him and I chose Dylan. With my third son (with a new husband...lol) we went through a baby book and both marked the names we liked. Only one name had 2 checks beside it...Preston. So we went with that because we both really liked it. Since it was his first (and only kid) I let him choose the middle name and he picked Tyler. We struggled with a girls name but finally decided on Regan Savannah(pronounced Ree-gan) a couple of days before my ultrasound. It was pointless....no girls for me!
Reply:We picked our son's name, James, at around two months. I suggested some names and we both agreed on James. Plus it has family significance. If our son were a girl we had agreed on Charlotte.
Our daughter, Leona, took a lot of arguing. I really liked Charlotte still but my husband didn't anymore. He wanted her to be Alexandra. I don't like the nickname "Alex" for a girl, so we had to think of a lot of names. When we found Leona we both just loved it. I think I was 7 months by that time. (Her middle name is Charlotte btw).
Reply:My dasughters name is anastasia it was a fovorite of mine since childhood, my sons name is Crew and Fox. I got Crew from hearing from my husband being a race car driver and also works as a commercial clammer so you hear crew alot on boats so it just stuck n it was different and Fox was my grandmothers middle name very unique n cool plus everyone in our family races dirtbikes so fox was a cool brand for racing. if i have another who knows i always just think about it and when something really sticks ut i go for it. i just recently was watching a army show and heard major t hought that was cool and ranger...may be alittle different for you but i like different
Reply:My fiance picked our first daughter's name and we just went through names he liked until we both agreed on one. Katryna Kae, and her nickname is Kittie. We took pretty much all 9 months to decide on one. Once we picked one out, he changed his mind a billion times.
So I picked our second daughter's name, Kristan Morsa, and we stuck with it from about 4 weeks lol
We've already decided that if we have a boy, we'll name him Dorian Karl after my uncle. Or, we'll do Dorian as the first name and James as the middle name which is my man's first name. But that'll be a while from now, if ever.
Reply:my situation is differnent. one because my daughter is adopted. two I didn't know I was adopting her until after I got attached from having custody of her her whole life. even though she's only 3. when her mom lost custody immedatly after she was born I got her so I named her kevinia a combanation of her biological mother's name and biological father's name. she was 2 day's old.
Reply:My husband and I both agreed that we wanted either family names or names that meant something meaningful to us. My son, Nicholas, is my husbands middle name. I had always liked that name and we had finally decided on it at around five months. My daughter, Sophia, was a different story. My husband wanted Angelina, meaning "little angel" but it is way too long to go with out 10-letter and 4-syllable last name! We decided on Sophia at about 7 months.
Reply:We agree on a boy names the day we knew we were pregnant
Girl, which we had, took 8 months at least
We final each made a list of ten names, that we liked and thought the other would like, one name was on each list
The middle names were easy
A boy would of been my husbands middle name, it goes back to his great grandfather
For a girl, we use my mom's middle name
Reply:We decided on our baby girl's name about a week before she was born. Its a tough decision. We went through all the books and lists and junk but we didn't want a generic baby name so we kept thinking and talking about it. Don't rush it, your baby has to live with it all it's life, so I'd take your time and make sure you're happy with the decision.
Reply:me and my fiancee aren't even pregnant yet, though just for fun we have always talked about baby names (we've been together 6years since i was 14 and he was 16 :D) and we have decided on the name Evalet for a girl. we love it, very exotic and beautiful and since she will be half Spanish i think it will suit her beautifully.
Reply:With our daughter we went back and forth over a couple of names that we liked at the time. Finally we came down to two solid names; and by the time I was 7 months pregnant we decided on Ryan Elizabeth.
Now we're TTC our second; and the names for both have already been picked out and set in stone.
Reply:For my first (Giada Rae) i picked waaaay b4 i was preg!
i luved Giada fro that chef on tv.. then took a part of my name (raven)
the for my second.... we both liked the name Bailee and i came on here to chose a middle name and got Nicole (also my middle name)
so i got Giada Rae and Bailee Nicole...next up Adrielle (dang forgot the middle name)
Reply:My daughter was a surprise i dint no wheter i was havina boy or girl so i chose a name for both and when she was born i totally changed my mind from saffron to amy dont ask me why i dont know. With my son i named him after his dad andrew and john was after a few family members but i wanted to call him ajay ... We went for andrew john n i still get my way haha AJ. The last one i called Layton becausse it was one of the names for aj but when i was 2 weeks off havin him we went to stay at our caravan n i was havin twinges n askex about the nearby hospital which happened to be Leighton!!! haha xx
Reply:ha i got very lucky... i was talking with my bf one (i was about 3/4 months) and he said if its a boy it would be named after him becuase hes a jr. so isaid fair enough.
if it was a girl i said allura and he LOVED it. it was the first name we mentioned. we didnt want it to sound white(im white) or like a black name (hes black) then both of our mothers middle names are katherine so we decided to use that as a middle name.
at around 17 weeks we found out its a girl so...allura katherine in is :)
I used my favorite characters from books films etc.
Ben is after Benjamin Bunny (Beatrix Potter is a distant relative)
Ruthie is after the girl in the wonderful Housekeeping by Marilyn Robinson
Esther is the lead in Meet me in St Louis (my favorite film!)
How did you pick your babies name? How far along were you in your pregnancy?
I was thinking of names while trying to conceive I loved the name leah but wanted something different so I thought of spelling it Leigha then I wanted more different so I added an a in the beginning as in Aleigha but the spelling looked funny it sounded great but looked great I was about 5 weeks along just found out I was pregnant and saw on a baby name website Aleigha spelled Aaliyah and I fell in love with it. I am now 14 weeks along and I just know if I have a girl thats the name for me. = )
Haven't thought of any boy names yet hehe maybe Im destined to have a girl I dont know.
Good Luck and have fun with it. Make good memories! = )
Reply:With my oldest we settled on his name at the 20 week ultrasound. We were leaving the hospital and walking to the car. We had just found out we were having a boy. As we were walking hubby says, "Joseph Daniel". That was it. There was no more discussion. I liked the name and it was just as if it were meant to be.
With my second we could not agree on a name. I think hubby wanted Erik or something. I wanted Gabriel. We were talking about it one morning. My oldest was 2. I'm not sure how far along I was in pregnancy. It was after 20 weeks. Anyway, hubby was saying how he hated the name Gabriel. I looked at my son and said, "Shouldn't we name your baby brother Gabriel?" He says, "No mommy, not Gabel---Michael". Michael was a character in a book he liked. So, that was that. We named my 2nd son Michael James. We settled on James because it sounded nice with Michael.
With my third son I was 6 months. We knew it was a boy. We had already decided if it was a girl we'd name her River Katherine (River is from Firefly and Katherine is just a name we like). We knew that the second I got pregnant. But we weren't prepared for a boy. So, as soon as we found out we started brainstorming names. We tossed around the name Alexander with the idea of calling him Xander. During this time I had just started watching season 1of Supernatural. I LOVE that show. LOVE IT!! So, one night I'm watching it and it suddenly hits me--Samuel Dean! The two brothers in the show are Sam and Dean. So, we were going to go with Samuel Dean but then at the last minute decided to name him Samuel Steven (Steven is my hubby's name).
Reply:Well, I'm only 14 and have never had a baby or anything, but my cousin Jessica just had a baby. She had the middle name picked out for almost her whole pregnancy, but she didn't actually come up with the first name until she saw the baby. The baby was very fair and beautiful, so Jessica named her Fiona, since it means fair and pure. Her name is Fiona Grace.
Reply:The first time i got pregnant, we didnt have any idea what to name the baby.

A boy would of been my husbands middle name, it goes back to his great grandfather
For a girl, we use my mom's middle name
Reply:We decided on our baby girl's name about a week before she was born. Its a tough decision. We went through all the books and lists and junk but we didn't want a generic baby name so we kept thinking and talking about it. Don't rush it, your baby has to live with it all it's life, so I'd take your time and make sure you're happy with the decision.
Reply:me and my fiancee aren't even pregnant yet, though just for fun we have always talked about baby names (we've been together 6years since i was 14 and he was 16 :D) and we have decided on the name Evalet for a girl. we love it, very exotic and beautiful and since she will be half Spanish i think it will suit her beautifully.
Reply:With our daughter we went back and forth over a couple of names that we liked at the time. Finally we came down to two solid names; and by the time I was 7 months pregnant we decided on Ryan Elizabeth.
Now we're TTC our second; and the names for both have already been picked out and set in stone.
Reply:For my first (Giada Rae) i picked waaaay b4 i was preg!
i luved Giada fro that chef on tv.. then took a part of my name (raven)
the for my second.... we both liked the name Bailee and i came on here to chose a middle name and got Nicole (also my middle name)
so i got Giada Rae and Bailee Nicole...next up Adrielle (dang forgot the middle name)
Reply:My daughter was a surprise i dint no wheter i was havina boy or girl so i chose a name for both and when she was born i totally changed my mind from saffron to amy dont ask me why i dont know. With my son i named him after his dad andrew and john was after a few family members but i wanted to call him ajay ... We went for andrew john n i still get my way haha AJ. The last one i called Layton becausse it was one of the names for aj but when i was 2 weeks off havin him we went to stay at our caravan n i was havin twinges n askex about the nearby hospital which happened to be Leighton!!! haha xx
Reply:ha i got very lucky... i was talking with my bf one (i was about 3/4 months) and he said if its a boy it would be named after him becuase hes a jr. so isaid fair enough.
if it was a girl i said allura and he LOVED it. it was the first name we mentioned. we didnt want it to sound white(im white) or like a black name (hes black) then both of our mothers middle names are katherine so we decided to use that as a middle name.
at around 17 weeks we found out its a girl so...allura katherine in is :)
