Corny or Cute?

Sunshine is mine · August 2011

My hubby and I met in Al-anon meetings as teenagers. They always talked about having serenity. As adults, DH always jokingly says Serenity Now in different situations. We feel that it might be a good MN if this baby is a girl.

Possibly Ava Serenity Wi***s

WDYT?

On another note, did anyone see the episode of Toddlers and Tiarras were the little girls name was "Saryniti" OMG!!

I wouldn't want to associate my child with past drinking problems and now it's part of a joke in your house... If you did want to her name to reflect how you met I would use Serena or look for another name with similar meaning.

I would not use Serenity as the MN.

Actually, no drinking problem. Al-Anon is a suppost group for people that deal with addicts. It would come from the way we survived it. Keep your snarky comments to yourself unless you know..

I don't like it.

That might not have been meant as a snarky comment, maybe just a personal opinion.

In any case, my personal opinion is that I think Serenity would be a great middle name. I think it has a great meaning for you, and could mean a lot to her as well. My grandparents were both alcoholics, and my dad raised us on a lot of Al-anon sayings, let go and let God was one of his favorites- I think from Al-anon. So for me, I understand the meaning and think it would be great.

I think it's sweet -- love middle names with personal meaning.

I wasn't trying to be snarky so I'm really sorry it came off that way. I wasn't trying to accuse you of being the addict, but the name is tied to painful memories. I like that it symbolizes survival but I cannot picture that without remembering the negative all the way to rock bottom, too. The negative and painful memories are something I wouldn't want associated with my child.

The part about it being a joke and using an alternate name was only based off of your husband saying "Serenity Now!" all the time. I wonder about her dad laughing over her name when she is too young to be in on the joke.

Serenity is a very pretty name. I'd go for it...

My thoughts exactly.

I'm so glad you said something because I was about to! Sounds like Serenity holds meaning for both you and your husband, so if you're both for it, I say use it. It's a lovely name.

I think it sounds nice, and has a good meaning behind it.

lunatunatoo · August 2011

It has a special meaning to you and your husband, and that is what matter most!

funkyfrog · August 2011

Beautiful name and the meaning of it for the two of you makes it even more beautiful.

jburdet1 · August 2011

Love the meaning behind the name! I too grew up with an addict and know how painful the lifestyle is. Your DD having this name will allow for healing as well as possible learning experiences later!

oy i don't think i would want to put that on my child. she'll ask you what it means when she's old enough and you'll have to tell her. i don't think it's a good idea.
