Remember that girl...

...who was on our board, and maybe the Baby Names board who tried to say that Maeve was pronounced "may-vee", or something terrible?

If you just read this, girl who couldn't pronounce Maeve, that's awkward.

But everyone else, remember that? I was thinking about that in the shower.

Nope but now I'm curious how is it pronounced? English as a second language here, my intuition on names pronunciation is always wrong!

Like it rhymes with Rave.

It wasn't so much that she didn't know how it was pronounced, but she was ADAMANT that she was right. Like people were all "it's my sister's / friend's name, that's not it" and she was all "no, that's what the internet said". Her boy names were bad too, and she had a lot of drama, I think.

lol, I do remember this! Didn't she ask our opinion on how we'd pronounce it, and when almost all of us disagreed she got mad?

Lol I remember that. Mostly bc I didn't know how it was pronounced and she confused the shit out of me.

She came back to say she named him "Lorcan" something strange middle name.

Yes! I remember that one! She was really into the Gaelic names even though she had no clue how to pronounce half of them.

I remember reading a Lorcan thread, everyone was like no one cares, you're not hurting anyone but your kid

Poor child...

Wasn't there someone who liked comic books and was considering this terrible middle name along the lines of Miscellaneous? Except I think it was more insulting than that. Oh, memories.

She came back to a baby board and was like "Just so you know I did name my son Lorcan best name ever" and everyone was either "Who are you?" or "Yeah no it's still a crap name"
