Naming question

So although my dad's not happy YET, I love his name so I've decided if I have a girl, I want to name her after my dad. Avery Gwendolyn (he is Avery Gwen) and if the other baby is a boy he will be Andrew Lawrence after my grandpa (Arnold Andrew Lawrence and his father who died in a fire saving a bunch of people was Andrew Lawrence)

but my mom says not to name a baby after my dad???? And what if they are both girls? Anyway that y'all cam think of to change my grandpa's nams for a girl????

Yes, these are the things I think of at 1am when I can't sleep!

    I like Avery for a girl. Not sure about the grandpa's name for a girl.

    I know a girl named Andi (pronounced Andy) and I think it's super cute. It's different!!  Our friends also have a daughter named Avery. I think both are very acceptable for a girl :) good luck! It doesn't matter what anyone really thinks as long as you and dh/so/baby daddy like it. Go for it!

  • I'm sorry, but I don't think your parents get a vote in the name. 
  • No one mentioned Drew yet. Also unisex.

    You should name your kids whatever the hell you want though.

    I love it! And I am soooo on the same page as you - My dad's name is Adrian and if we have a girl she will be Adriana! :)

     

    Soooo... for your grandapa's girl name... maybe Andrea Lauren?

    (Edit: sorry, I didn't read the other posts first... lol... so Andrea Lauren was not original :P)

  • Laurie sounds like kind of a cute girly nickname for Lawrence! :)

    Cute name as well. Though NMS
    I assure you I have a much longer resistance here.


    Seriously, having a beef with someone is one thing. Following them around commenting on their comments is just fucking psychotic. We're tired of seeing it.
    Thank you. It seems to have slowed as the day progressed. Hopefully it stays that way. 
    LOL. You have no idea.

    There’s a lightning in your eyes I can't deny
    Then there’s me inside a sinking boat running out of time
    Without you I'll never make it out alive
    But I know, yes, I know we’ll be alright

    You can't dictate responses, sugar britches. I mean bishes.
    I am not trying to dictate a response anymore than you're trying to dictate whether someone who broke no rules should be here commenting.

    I am pointing out that its bordering psycho, just like you guys are pointing out, repeatedly, how gross you think her comments were. 

    The rest of us are uninvolved, yet it's here in every thread she comments on. The OP of this post did not deserve to have this thread blow up like this simply because a particular poster commented on it, you know?

    Also... just to point out what is a glaring and fundamental lack of understanding on the part of most on this board...

    The rest of you are NOT uninvolved.  In fact, you are essentially complicit in the entire thing.  The fact that none of you can take an objective POV and say, "hey, that is probably the most vile thing I've ever heard and I want nothing to do with that person ever again" is absolutely being involved.

    You can look back at the vast majority of BMBs since the creation of BMBs on this site, and see the writing on the wall when someone like this shows their true colors and the rest of the posters just kind of sweep it under the rug and move on.  That poster does not learn and become a better human.  No, in fact, that poster would do something like... say... steal $500 from the kind ladies of the board who were trying to raise money to support a loss momma (see: N14 I think?)... or that person creates a facebook group and allows the wife of a known pedophile to join without telling anyone that their pictures are available for viewing by a convicted sex offender.

    The list goes on and on and on.  So yeah, the influx of posters from other boards, who have been around this place for years in many cases, and the overwhelming disgust, that should be a sign or a red flag that, maybe just maybe, you aren't taking the right stance here.


    I agree that MM should not longer be welcome here.  It's NMS to actively chase some off a board but I'm okay with the people that do that.  However, I think it's pretty fucked up that you tried to hijack a miscarriage thread to flame anyone.  That is fucking disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself.  Maybe I'm mistaken (it has been ***edited*** so I'm not sure exactly what it said) but it sure looks like that's what you did. @HilarityEnsued

    Ok cool... well let's talk about all the things but the topic at hand.  


    You guys are the masters of diversion!!!


    I hijacked no thread.


    And I make no apologies for saying anything rude to that terrible person.


    But you guys should definitely go ahead villifying me and WCIBN because that is totes the relevant part of this story.
    I'm not WKing MM at all.  I think she deserves to be flamed to high hell and chased off the board. 

    Do you really think it's okay that you brought that shit up in a thread where the OP was tragically announcing her miscarriage?  That's so insensitive and fucked up.

    ETA I was really hoping that I had read that wrong and that there was a reasonable explaination for it but it looks like that is not the case.

    It literally bottles my mind you're more offended the fact that HE brought up MMs comments and that you're flaming her for what she said and not MM. really are you kidding me

  • Omg....I was simply asking a question about naming my babies. Idk wtf happened. I mean seriously. This is a genuinely happy time in my life. I have so much bs and negatives in my life that I come here to escape and rejoice in the fact that yes, this isn't how I planned it and yes my family isn't supportive, but 90% of the women here are.

    And for some jerk off to come here and make some stupid comments and take over my thread, once again, is exactly the reason I want NOTHING to do with this site anymore.

    I'm very sorry ladies, but I can't take this bs any longer!

    You got a lot of nice feedback on your naming question.  

    We should really be thanking parenting in general for likely saving us from a lot of drama and hurtful comments down the road.  I think they are right-- someone who makes those sort of statements will continue to make disgusting and inflammatory remarks on other topics as well.  I assumed just ignoring her would make her go away but I realized I was wrong about that in her GBCG post.  So, I think having a few threads hijacked (minus the one that I obviously thought was in poor taste) is a small price to pay.
