Baby name issue

jdelafuente88

We were going to name our 2nd boy Mason, but our 1st came out with Kason on a fluke. We thought about it, & read that it isn't very common. We fell in love with it & it sounds good with our 1st sons name (Caleb). Our 1st is really excited that he chose the name. However, there is a kid with the name of Cayson that just started in my sons class. We haven't announced what we're naming the 2nd yet, & I don't want to announce it & have people think we stole the name. What thoughts does anyone have? Should we keep Kason for our son, or look for a new name?

That name is popping up so frequently. Is it not on the top ten list this year? Because it's so freaking popular, I don't think anyone would be justified in asserting that you "stole" it.

YOUR GIFS.

missnacholover I am confused as well...
How old is your son and why are you letting him name your second born???
Are you close with a lot of people at your son's school that would think you stole the name??
Why don't you just stick with Mason since that is what you planned on in the beginning?

I know I would be pissed if I found out that my sibling named me instead of my parents!

Gif... just because

Oh, FFS seriously? Are we the unofficial baby name board? I can't speak for everyone else on the here, but my superpower is sarcasm and the unwavering ability to not give a fuuuuuuck, NOT naming strangers babies.



Since you asked, I don't like the name Cayson (or Kason -- to lazy to scroll up to see how it was spelled). I actually thought it was a made up name, but seems like others have heard of it. As PP said, it sounds like the same rhyming crap people do to the "-aden" names to be yoonique.

My nephews would name the kid "Lego" and my neice would probably name the kid "Hello Kitty".  Or Kiddy if we wanted to be yoonique.

My nephew's favorite word is CACK.

Yes. Penis reference.

I am not a fan of Kason.  At all.  It sounds made up (not sure if it is).  Mason, while trendy, is a legitimate name. 

If we were to let DS1 name DS2, he would be named Elmo, "Cock" (which is how he pronounces "truck") , Doggy, or Oscar.  We actually did discuss Oscar as a name because it is really cute when DS says it, but in the end, it isn't the name for us, and DS doesn't get a say in naming his brother.

But in response to the actual post:

NO.

All I get out of this thread is that it is totally normal that my son's favorite word is cock (sock/rock). 

Athough is it normal to have him say it over and over because it makes people laugh?

As far as Kason. No. Just no.

Edit: Added more info

Not unique enough. What about Kaceson?

If it's just a kid in your sons class who would be assuming you stole the name? The teacher? It's not like your sister or best friend is using it - so I wouldn't be too concerned.

I like Cason just fine. Who cares if people think you stole it? As far as unique names go, this one is pretty tame.

Also, and I could get flamed for this...why the supreme annoyance with baby name threads? We can ask about literally anything else but not the name? It's probably just personal preference but they don't bug me.

I have heard the name recently, so I think it's an up and coming trend name, but if you love it, who cares? I wouldn't think it would be a big deal with your son's new classmate...if anyone asks if you got the name from them just say "No, we picked it out before we ever met him!" No biggie.

It's really only when it's a stranger (DANGER!) who asks.  When it's a reg, it's NBD.  But when someone wants us to make a major decision on their kid's lives and we know nothing about them, it's fucking annoying.

It sounds too much like Keeshond, the dog breed to me. Now they are damn cute dogs but person name? Not so much.

What about Carson? It's not common but also not yooneek plus as a Nevadan I think naming your kid after our capitol is not the worst idea. 

Now I want a fluffy puppy

NEVADANS UNITE!

@missnacholover‌ gotcha. I will admit I don't ever really check to see if people have posted before-I recognize some names but not all. I don't know if I'm considered a regular or not-still feel like others know each other a lot better but I do seem to spend a lot of time on here!

I recognize you.    Stranger Danger gifs do not apply to you.

Woohoo!

This. Are you sure he didn't pronounce Mason wrong or accidentally said Cayson since there's one in his class now? The only Cason I've heard of is from a morning radio show. JC on Kidd Kraddick calls his son Cason.

I wouldn't place all of my child's classmate's names off-limits.  If it were TOTALLY out there (like my friends who have used Scandinavian names for their daughters), it would probably get my attention.  Like "Who'd of thunk that two people in the same ZIP code would name their child Agda?"  But Kason/Cayson are way more common.

My husband and his sister helped name their youngest sister.  I don't think that part is odd at all.  Obviously, you would have veto'd "cock."

Dammit!  My dog, Talli Mae would have the best name for her new little sister but she can't speak. I think she would want to call her Squirrel though since that is her favorite thing ever.  Now, i'm reconsidering my entire baby name, why didn't I think to let her big sister name her.

This was Talli Mae's reaction, when I asked her what she wanted to name her baby sister:

For some reason this just made me laugh so hard!

I asked my dd what she wanted to name the baby and she said her own name. Then her (boy) cousin's name. Then my name. I called veto on all 3 and don't feel bad at all.

OP, you'll figure it out, but I hope you don't read these responses and react defensively. People are giving super unfiltered feedback, which can be worth it's weight in gold.

After reading some of the other posts & comments (which I should've done first apparently) I was unaware of a specific baby name forum. I was also unaware that most of you have been on here for awhile (another reason I should've read the other posts). Thank you to the ladies who gave a positive opinion. I will look into the forum for just baby names.

Ya know, because I shouldn't have babies and all... ;-)

Please let us know when you post on the Baby Names Board. I would love to hear what the ladies there have to say! Good luck!

No offense intended, but all I can think of when saying Cason is "case in point"..
