So this girl I know has been going on for months about what to name her unborn child. She had been going on and on about how it was going to be a great name, something sentimental and they thought long and hard on this. So they had this big name reveal party last night, slapped it on fb and the final result is.....
Azealya
Geracie
Rose
Azealya becuase it's mom's favorite flower
Geracie to combine aunts Gertrude and Francine. But want it pronounced like Gracie.
Rose because it's mom's second favorite flower.
FFS. The first name is not my style at all but acceptable..if spelled right.
I don't know what to say to the first middle name much less the second middle name that gives her kid two floral names.
I get picking a name based on faves. I have a Ruby afterall because red is my fave color and Ruby is my gram's fave gem and she was born in July too.
At least I managed to spell Ruby correctly.
This was the same girl that when I said my kid's name was Ruby Colleen came back with...I think Colleen is spelled wrong. And that has to be a YOUNEEk name...therefore I don't like it.
LOL.
The only positive in this is that her entire fb feed is confused, astounded and commenting as a result.
Re: s/o of the ffs post below. :)
What the what?!
I wouldn't mind Azalea, and I don't have a problem with multiple middle names, but... yima!
I just want to give you a world as beautiful as you are to me.
Geracie looks like Geranium which would make it three flower names! Unless you're a botanist that is completely unacceptable, IMO. And a botanist would never butcher Azalea like that!
Azealya Geranium Rose... Klassy!

*Vote on our Baby names*
This could be a new Name your Baby game:
Chose you moms favorite flower. Lilly
First 3 letters of your aunts name, then last 3 letters of DH's aunts name. - Ronane
Chose random flower. Jasmine
This. Can you post the FB comments? I would love to read them!
You totally need to tell her you're pretty sure she spelled Azalea wrong since she made this comment to you. And then when she tells you that she wanted to make it Youneek, you need to respond back with, well, I don't like it.
Gracine would be a nicer smoosh, even though it kind of cuts Gertrude. I would think if you combined Gertrude and Francine you could get something more like Trudine. That sounds much better than what they came up with.
I think middle name number one should be Frantrude
Also, I like Keri's game! My future child will be Gardeenyah Joaila Lilac
Ha ha, I like this game.
My child would be: Iris Laugan Poppy
