When ppl insult my name choices...

I want to mock their names, not their potential baby names , their actual names. 

I mean seriously if you were named Eugene would you tell anyone their name was nerdy? Or if your name can't be pronounced by the english speacking public whould you tell someone else their name isn't cute enough?

I know I am sorry... My name choice got attacked a while back from someone that responded to a thread that had NOTHING to do with my name choice.  She just decided to attack me because she didn't like how I spelled Dawsyn.  WHATEVER.  Sometimes I wonder if it even occurs to people that maybe there was a reason for the choice that you didn't have a full say in.  My husband picked the name spelling, not me, and I was ok with it, as long as we weren't arguing about her name anymore.

I HATE that! It's like, you're not holding a gun to their head and asking them to name their first born that. It's ridiculous. I always get ridicule for the way i spell my baby's name. (Presli;Emyrson) Well My name is JESSI. Not Jessie,Jesse,Jessy- and I like it that way, so p-r-e-s-l-i, is wonderful for me. I don't feel the need to insult people's potential baby names unless they're something ridiculous like "Lemonjello(real child's name.) or something like apple or "tulula from hawaii does the hula"(real kids name.)

It pretty much makes me want to go Hulk on people.

Don't listen to people, they are always going to have their own opinions.  If you and your DH like the name that's all that matters. 

 

We got a lot of crap from family members when we told them our first DS's name.  Of course, they like his name now.  I know I would probably get some comments from people by the spelling of my second DS's middle name.  If they would ask me why I spelled Michael with a k instead of a c, I would tell them it is after my brother who died over 2 years ago from brain cancer.  He spelled his name the traditional spelling, but he spelled it with a k in his email address.  My DH also has a brother named Michael, and we wanted it to be unique to my brother.  Sorry, I'm rambling.

My mother is acting like this!!!  We are going to call LO Bradford and she doesn't like it because it doesn't sound "like a baby's name!"    uuummmm, seriously!  He isn't going to be a baby forever!  So for months she keeps coming up with nicknames that are just stupid!  Most have nothing to do with his name at all!  I've just started ignoring her and telling anyone she tells the baby's newest nickname that she came up with that and it will not be the baby's name.  Then they look at her like she's retarded!  HA!

I actually went off on a huge lecture about my name choice and why I chose it the last time I got insulted about it. One of my grandma's nurses decided to comment on it when I was talking to my grandma, and this is a woman who has an apostrophe in her two year old's name. I was just like "...really?" I was SO annoyed, especially since I wasn't talking to her, and this wasn't the first time she's stuck her big nose in our family's business. Usually I just ignore it, but HORMONES sometimes, jeez, lol.

This is exactly why we are not telling anyone of our name choices. By the time the baby is here and named they can't say anything. I'm already annoyed with DH aunt. Apparently she told SIL that she is super stressed over the naming of this child because she thinks it should be named after the grandparents (her parents). Just annoys me since there are 3 other sets of grandparents we can name the baby after - why should one set be more important. So obnoxious.

My best friend named her kid Alaric(Al-ah-rick). I hated it, so i called him Chonco. But secretly, she hates it too. (Her Husband chose it.)

So that worked out. But it was HER kid, so i didn't b!tch.
