WOW....about the baby name

SoOn2bEbLaNk

I am not really sure what is happening about the Kyetilyn. SERIOUSLY why is everyone so defensive beacsue I said she has the right to name her baby.

GOODNESS, I was saying it beacuse I feel her pain.  We had a name picked and everyone had there DUMB A$$ opinion of it so we cahnged it and are not telling anyone because we do not need the comments.

I say name your kid what you want, but you have to understand that people will always have opinions.

Take a step back! Sounds like you're the only one being defensive.

So....after the first discussion on it, you posted the correct pronunciation.

After the second discussion, where folks pointed out they were entitled to voicing their opinion, you posted this?

I guess I'm unclear on what you're trying to accomplish with this particular post?

You decided to change your baby's name because of everyone's "DUMBA$$ opinions"??  Obviously you took them to heart otherwise you wouldn't have cared what they thought. 

We're also not telling the name (not because we're scared of comments, but because it's a fun secret to have) but I certainly wouldn't consider changing a name based on other people's comments about it.

  I think a lot of people on here have been really frickin' hormonal and irritable today.  It's not you, honestly.  It's what happens when you put a lot of 3rd tri women together.   

And I get your pain:  we've never told anyone the name we picked out, for this very reason.  I love the name we've picked, and it would break my heart to feel the need to change it.

no not so much...just trying to explain myself. This is a message board..everyone is entielted to say what they want...and should do so.  I did not want people to think i was being a B in the last post so I tried to restate what I said.

I'm coming in late on this and missed any earlier drama, but IMO, if your friend knowingly named her child something that is hard to pronounce or confusing, people are going to react to it. Not just here, but in real life and for the rest of that baby's life. Naming a child is no easy feat - it goes beyond just liking a name. A person has to live with it.

Yes, people have every right to name their children what they want, but they can't expect to control people's reactions to it if it is something off the wall.

Ditto. This is why we're telling everyone DS #2 will be Shatner Bin Oppenheimer Turner...Shatturn for short.

Interesting.  I didn't look to see what had happened but had a feeling someone might jump on the name.  But here's the thing -- everyone has the right to name the kid what they like.  Hey, may be NMS but trying to bag on a name after the kid has been named that is akin to telling a pg woman she's huge or a new mom that her baby is ugly/hairy/looks like Ben Stein  -- it's not helpful and doesn't change anything.

Why are there 3 posts about this poor girl's name now??? Wait, should I have started a new post to ask this question? I'm confused. Maybe I'll make a post about being confused. Or I'll start a poll on whether or not to start another post about me being confused?

yet you called people "dumbasses" for voicing their opinions. So I think you were being a little biitchy.

and as a person who named her kid something hard to pronounce ... at some point you have to shrug and say, "well *I* love this name" and so what if no one else does.

Um....calm down.

That was very well said.

execution fail.  you were fine in the first post, this one, not so much.

Just thought I would try to even the score here and say I like the name and the spelling.  I also understand what you're (OP) is saying but seriously.. ppl's opinions are there right if they want to be classy about it great if not great too.   Who really cares.  Don't let opinions bother you or make simple things more dramatic then they really are.  That goes for everyone.  ::butting out::

I honestly still don't know how to pronounce the name. Kite-EYE-lin? Or Kitt-EE-Lin?

Super....thank you

I don't tell anyone what we are naming our son.I just don't want to hear what they think....we like it that is all that matters.

cdschadenfroh

I will try again... Kite-a-lin. Does this help? My goodness. Nobody else has had trouble pronouncing it. But I guess it helps to hear it said.

NKufferman

I agree with you!  You can have an opinion, but keep it to yourself unless the person asks what you think. 

CalinsBride

Thanks. Sorry, I'm sure I'd be able to pronounce it if I actually heard it. I got it now

You (and your daughter) have many, many years to go before you can say "nobody else has had trouble pronouncing it".

Just sayin'.

cdschadenfroh

ummm "has" is past tense and no one else had trouble untilI I posted on here....
