I do not appreciate being made fun of for what I want to name my child, if you wanted to name your child that and it did mean beautiful princess, thats awesome. I feel that your child would probably think you were crazy for naming them that, but more power to you for sticking with what you wanted.

I mean this is the best way possible but the best way to avoid being made fun of is to just deal with the drama and move on. Any time on public forums and you're going to get made fun of or get into a disagreement at some point (I know I have) but you just have to try not to make it a big deal and move on. Choosing to not post anymore probably isn't the way to go.
Currently going through our second deployment. Can't wait for Zoe to meet her daddy!
I mean, the names themselves aren't even the absolute worst things in the world (we're not talking Felanie here or anything). The fact of the matter was that they just don't mean what she said they did. They simply don't. So, if you're naming your child based off of it's meaning, I think you should make fairly certain that they're accurate!
Two middle names on Callyn because I didn't want it to be CRV cause thats a car and my neighbors have two CRV's maybe I'm just weird on that one
Dudley was my DH's great grandfathers name and he has passed on and Paul is my grandfathers name who died before I was born both were very well liked and respected men we want to honor both, if we choose to honor one.
Is this pronounced Cal-Lynn? Where did you come up with this name? It strikes me as the parents wanted Caitlin but weren't sure how to spell it.
Also, why not Paul as the first name, and Dudley as the middle?
She may hate us but her child will thank us. Those names are very 16 and pregnant.
what does this even mean?
Don't worry about all this - name your child a name you love. Internet strangers should not influence your decision or keep you from naming your child something that you and your DH really like.
I personally don't like the names, which is why I won't be naming my child any of them. That being said, it's lame to DD. Put your BGP on and stand up for yourself next time. Also, why do you care so much what random internet strangers think? You'll never meet any of us, and we ARE alllowed to have differing opinions.
She may hate us but her child will thank us. Those names are very 16 and pregnant.
Haha love it!
OP as PP's said be a big girl and stand up for yourself. You shouldn't care what a bunch of internet strangers think of your names.
I imagine your original post was asking for validation of how fabulous your names were (just conjecture here, since you DD) so you shouldn't be upset that you got honest opinions.

I think alot of you are being bullies. I don't give a crap if someone has asked for your opinion on something there is a right and human way to do things. Some of you are acting like 12 year old girls ganging up on someone. None of you know for a fact that a book out there did not define the names the way she said they were. So back off. A lot of you should be ashamed.

Agreed. Mrs. G and KimberlyMav, I feel like you've really embarassed this board. While I see no harm in disagreeing with someone, I do not think it's right to keep harping on someone because you find it entertaining. While some of you may find that her names could be on "16 and Pregnant", I feel that your comments could be as well.

Get over yourselves. The poster asked for opinions, she was given opinions. If you're going to get butt hurt over what someone says on the internet, then log off. Telling other to be ashamed of themselves...who are you, my mother? DDs always get called out b/c it's lame to try and erase a post. Put on your big girl panties and deal.

I only said I don't like random "y"s in names and that she DDs, which she did. Which is lame.
Names are such a personal thing, I would never post or even share names with friends/family and this is why - there is ALWAYS an opinion and always a negative one! If you and DH like the names there is no need to justify it to us. Just go with it.

Exactly she asked for opinions not people telling her that she is lame. And no I am not your mother, right now I would be a little embarrassed if I was. I don't know how old you are but I am hoping that if you are having a baby you are old enough to know better than to bully someone. And whether or not you see what your doing as bullying it is. By the way aren't you due in Nov. now. We don't need your negativity on this board.

Ah I knew it wouldn't be long till i was reminded of what TB is all about. Catty bitchiness and for no reason. Is it lame that she DD? Sure that's like rule of the TB. But obviously like she stated, she was offended; and imo as every right to feel that way. You guys being overly rude. I hate a board being all puppies n rainbows but I also hate douchiness when it's uncalled for.

Re: DD!
Yeah, just noticed that, too....
It was probably my posts that made her do it.
Me neither. Also, I loathe superfluous "y"s. Just saying.
I'm going to name my child Bytthoyle because it means beautiful princess. I swear it does!
hahahahaha

Just admit that you didn't DD because of the names, it was the "meanings", as pp pointed out.
1. I don't think the names are horrible
2. Who cares if the meaning is incorrect, who are we to judge?
3. Looks like a couple of ladies are being kind harsh for no reason. Let's be nice!
Huh?
Currently going through our second deployment. Can't wait for Zoe to meet her daddy!
The names were Callyn Elizabeth Renee' Callyn?? Bad. Why two middle names?
Kayden Bevins Kayden is TERRIBLE, sorry. Overly trendy and badly spelled at that.
Brielle Mailon I think Brielle is pretty.
and
Ian Dudley Paul Ian isn't bad at all, Dudley is nms, and two middle names? Why?
I suggest you read Freakonomics about what lower socio-economic names will do to your kid when they grow up. It's very insightful.
Is this pronounced Cal-Lynn? Where did you come up with this name? It strikes me as the parents wanted Caitlin but weren't sure how to spell it.
Also, why not Paul as the first name, and Dudley as the middle?
No.
