Baby Names

2 babies born this morning...

Baby girl, Chloe Phillipa (dad is Phillip)

Baby boy Tristian Clyde. As my MIL tried to explain it, "It's pronounced 'Tristan', but spelled like Christian. I don't get it either." LOL I am having a hard time not referring to him as Tris-chin.

BTW, the babies are not twins...boy is DH's cousin's DS, girl is my BFF's DD.

Anyway, WDYT?

Re: 2 babies born this morning...

  • I am with your mom on Tristian. What is up with that spelling?

    Phillipa is cute, but I'm not a fan of naming kids after their parents. I would have liked it more if you hadn't told me the father's name. Chloe is NMS and neither is Clyde.

    I'll bet you'll like it even less when I tell you her big brother is Caleb Phillip. lol

  • I hate the name Tristian. My husbands name is Christian and I feel like Tristian is some trendy rip off version. I went to college with a girl named Christian, but when asked what her nick name was, she said Tristian. Ummmm....ok. More power to you if you like it, but I think its horrible.

    Geez, maybe when they run out of Phillip derivatives the mom can get her name in on that a little bit

  • i like chloe.

    dislike tristian (although tristan isn't too bad).

  • For the record, I dislike both names. Chloe isn't terrible, but the rest I really hate.

  • I like it all except the spelling of Tristan.  That's just silly.  But my name is Trista, so maybe I'm biased.

  • I like Tristan spelled the normal way.

    I don't mind the Phillipa, but I'd like it more if the DS had a middle that was a male version of mom's name. It's an unusual name (except around here today!) and it's legitimate.

  • For some reason, the name Tristan annoys me.  Not a fan at all.
  • Love the middle names, not a fan of either first name.
  • I don't like either.
