Rachael Lynn for girl

BTW do you like Rachael or just Rachel?

Ryan ? for boy

Any good ideas for middle names for Ryan?

Don't let @Beefcurtain‌ help you with spelling. You'll end up with Rachyl.

I did see the name Bostyn once and it was kind of cute for a girl, Different but famillar, strong.

I also like the name Declan for a boy

Beefcurtain

I'm really upset my dbf would call me that or say that. I'm really self conscious about my lady bits since I had dd.

Tourmaline you can take your rude attitude and leave. This is supposed to be a place of support!

nelch84

I like Veronica, Rilee, Brynlee, Sophia, Lisa, Charlotte, Amber, and Ava for a girl. Michael for a boy

Tourmaline15

My friend named her little girl Decklyn. No lie.

intheversa

Well I really like Malcom but my mother and mother-in-law don't care fore it. Christopher is a maybe. My husband is all for Bruce (mostly because if it's a boy the middle name has be Wayne (family thing) but I don't know if I want our kid to be Batman.

If it's a girl possibly Liliana, Ellie, Emily and I'm trying to talk him into Elouise but no luck lol.

EricaOO

We like Ava Lynn or Charlotte for a girl.  No clue if it's a boy..

Oo, I love Decklyn! If I wasn't team green I would use that name. I like all the babies things personalized so we have chosen a unisex name so we can embroider everything!

I just googled Beef Curtain and Cleveland Steamer. Those things cannot be unseen.

Wtf @dmppcw‌ She gets it. I'm not even friends with @Beefcurtain‌, but you don't have to repeat it SO many times!

JustHyr

I can't tell if beefcurtain is a troll or just a teen mom....

Tourmaline15

I'm gonna go with teen mom

Please do not insult the names people choose for their children. If you don't like it, you can just keep that to yourself!

KleineKohl

@nelch84  Welcome to the internet. You cannot dictate people's responses. If you post a ridiculous name people will make fun of you....just like in real life.

kemallmann

Ava Elizabeth or Mark Anthony

nelch84

Would you tell someone in real life that you don't like their child's name? I doubt it! So why would we lose our manners just because we are on the internet and not face to face. I just think it's very easy to ignore things that you don't like and not insult people so we can keep this place as a positive, uplifting environment.

This is a discussion board...if you don't want a name discussed then you should keep the name to yourself.

You really like Y's, huh? Is there any specific reason?

I think they're pretty in signatures, and I have a Y in my name and DH has an L so we thought it would be cute to use them in baby's name :-)

You know there are plenty of names spelled traditionally with Y's in them, right?

I should preface this by saying I'm not judging anyone's name choices:

I have a "unique" name. It isn't difficult to pronounce or difficult to spell, but people still get it wrong CONSTANTLY. My relatives couldn't spell it properly on my Christmas presents until I was in middle school. Twice in the past year, I have run into acquaintances I haven't seen in a while and they have actually forgotten how my name is pronounced. I have had to correct every teacher who has ever read my name from an attendance list on the first day of class, usually over the course of several days. There is one guy at work who always spells my name wrong in emails and I want to push him down the stairs.

It sucks. My parents worked so hard to give me a beautiful, special name, and I have spent the last 29 years hating it! I truly think that if you can't learn how to spell or pronounce someone's name properly, you are lazy and you need to work on yourself, but I also wish I'd been named "Jane" or something. So before you go for that unique name, remember that not everyone will think your kid is as special as you do and they may have to spend the rest of their lives correcting people! Or not correcting them and hating them silently.

I like Quinn or Harper for a girl. No idea for boy names but my fiancée wants Wallace for the middle name, and I'm not too crazy about it. I can't think of anything good to go with it.

Tourmaline15

What do you ladies think of Fitzgerald?

Quinn is a unisex name you can use it for a boy too.

Conversely, I was given a Finnish name by my parents that everyone constantly mispronounces (except for finns, hungarians, estonians...).  Every teacher I ever had would spell it wrong, or pronounce it wrong.  People I've worked with for months still say it wrong.  I was teased by kids in school because my first and last name were "weird".  

But I FUCKING LOVE my name.  It speaks to my heritage, and I'm so glad my parents didn't name me something that was 'easy' for other people.  

I will admit though, that I'm not really a fan of the 'youneek' (i.e., made up) spelling of names.  

KleineKohl

IMHO there is a huge difference between people not spelling or pronouncing your name right because it is a legitimate name from your heritage vs. your parents just wanting to be youneek. One comes with a sense of pride...the other, well...embarrassment and trouble finding a good job.

katie0919

This post is fucking ridiculous! Good god, I hope these are all trolls and AE's and not real names that most of you have said you will be giving to your spawn. I weep for the future.

I wish I loved my name. But it just makes me sad. And it is a legit name with a pedigree and a real meaning and everything!
