Ohhhhhh okay I think I understand now... instead of just asking opinions in the name thread like everyone else you decided to AW it up and make your own poll. Because you're special right?

Wow sorry didn't realize that would be a problem. Don't want to create drama. I'll figure out a way to ask the question somewhere else.

Where is @jena333-2 with her nifty diagrams???

aligail

Heard ya loud and clear.  Truly no harm intended. Ill try to figure out how to delete the poll once I can get back to a computer so you guys don't have to be annoyed with it anymore. I wish you all the best with your pregnancies and your little ones. 

wyomama0427

The bump doesn't allow deleting posts.

labby18

@aligail dirty deleting is frowned upon in any online community I suggest...

aligail

Alright thanks for saving me the time trying to figure that out.

I don't have anything that will help.


OP, if you post this to the names thread, you will get a ton of input. Doesn't need to he a poll, you can just add up the answers

MyNamesTaken

You can also post on the Baby Names board and do a poll there. That's exclusively what that board is for.

msashley2010-2

You should name her Ashley.

How set are you on these names? Can we suggest other options?

l I think Lucy flows nicely with your other kids names. How do you pronounce Kaia? 

There is a dedicated name board but I don't really understand why people get so offended by someone asking a question. If it annoys you just don't answer her post. I think these discussion boards are sometimes taken a bit too seriously. No one is forcing you to read or answer her question.

No one is forcing you to come here and try to police a board you're not a part of in any way either, and yet here you are. 

rosemomma

@mrs_tacos not policing, just wishing that moms and women in general would support each other instead of tearing down a fellow woman who asked which name sounded better.  

And I've been a part of this board since February. I recently changed my user name because I created it 4 years ago when I signed up with theknot.com and in my newly married excitement I included too much of my real name it. I didn't know how to change it until I learned you have to go back through theknot.com to fix it. 

Peace.

Looks like our white knight made her own intro thread in March, and hasn't used the ACTUAL, pinned intro thread so.....

If I was a complete stranger and walked into a group of relatively established acquaintances and didn't introduce myself or take the time to check out the community, I would fully expect side eyeing and some flaming. If I wanted to join the group, I would take the flaming with as much grace as I could muster, and then follow directions pinned at the top of the board.

Don't understand why you feel the need to make such rude unecesary comments on every post. Some people are new to this and didn't know there was a certain "manual" we had follow to make posts. No need to try and make other people feel like crap.

I see you've been on the bump for a total of 14 days...

That's why the guidelines are permanently pinned at the top and labeled "read this first." Other people's lack of reading comprehension isn't our problem. 

Also, and I say this part entirely with our snark, I really recommend changing your screen name to something that doesn't use your personal information. You're the only person with your name who comes up on a google search, and as this is the internet you never know what kind of creepers are lurking around. The Bump (and every other baby and pregnancy site) has it's fair share of catfish and creepers, so the next person who googles you might not be as benign as I am.

I don't understand why people are so offended for the random drive bys. We've been here since January. All we ask is to read and get to know us before barging in and talking about yourself. Think of it it this way. If there was a group of friends standing together talking in a restaurant, would you just go up and talk about yourself? Nope. You would take a minute, observe, listen, then politely introduce yourself and then join the conversation. Just because it's the internet, doesn't make it different. It's not that hard. Not to mention that we are trying to protect ourselves and others here from the random, not so safe internet strangers looking to gain personal information from people.

So much this. A quick Google shows A LOT of personal information about you. Go to theknot.com and you can change your user name under the account settings there.

Reading the "Read this first" thread and asking people to introduce themselves can hardly be considered "a certain manual to follow." I think you could benefit from this community, if you can follow those two very basic suggestions.

I was new to TB this pregnancy. Out of curiosity, when you signed up for membership, did it make you wait 72 hours before you could post a new thread or comment on anything so that you could familiarize yourself with the community and how things work? 

I had ample time to read through the pinned threads and get familiar with the forum. And once I did join in I didn't have any issues.
