The Great Name Thread

You've posted about 5 snarky gifs to me. I don't care about being removed by admins. You just can't handle being called out. You literally said you hoped for the child's sake that woman had a baby of a different gender. You deserve to be called out. It's you who is harassing people. The way someone wants to spell their child's name shouldn't be a topic for ridicule. I refuse to feel bad because I stuck up for someone else. You are a bully.

Darn it,  that's what I get for not refreshing before posting. Imagine I quoted knottie10million

You're taking offense about a gif? How about a quote then?

Spelling does matter,  we've gone over this already. If you don't agree it just makes you look uneducated.  Noted.  

I don't understand why you're bringing this up.   We've all moved on and been participating with each other.

I'm not offended or uneducated. I have three degrees. All I said is it was mean to pick on someone like that and your subsequent interactions have just continued the theme

If you're that sensitive about sparky's rather mild comments about spelling, maybe you should try to channel some of that empathy to children who have to go through life with ridiculous name spellings. They're the ones who could end up as real victims of bullying.

It's not me who is being sensitive. It's not my name or my spelling. You all seem to think what has been said is fine so stop replying to me about it. I made my point and you don't agree. Move on.

Yeah well I've changed my mind since you've been so welcoming!  i'm looking forward to having my name choices dissected by an educated expert

So, not to be off topic at this point, but about picking names- my favorite website for baby names is www.nymbler.com. It lets you type in names you already like (like the names of your older children,) and then gives you suggestions based on your taste in names. I’ve found it really helpful and fun.

There is also an app called BabyName where you can vote on the names you like. If you and your SO both download it, it will show you names that you both upvoted and save them in a list. It's pretty cool.

I love both of those! They are such great resources and almost always spell names correctly.
