My Mom always said that when choosing a baby's name you should go outside and yell it at the top of your lungs 50 times. If you are not sick of it by then, go ahead and name it that.
HA! I love this and just had to repeat it.0 -

Go for what you like....but when choosing baby names...you really have to look at if from a kids perspective too....bullying is getting worse and worse these days...You don't want to pick a name that will make them an easy target. I.e D/ck or name then after a disease of some sort without realizing it.
I'm assuming you mean "f*****." It took me a while to think of what the joke would be. I'm sure his friends might call him that jokingly but in my opinion it's not a reason to not name your child that!
And about spelling - my name is Christine and I always have to spell it for people. Just because you choose a common name doesn't mean you won't ever have to spell it or deal with problems about it!0 -
Tucker is awful!!! That beggars belief. That somebody would call their child Tucker. Wow. Does the registrar have no power to rein in the worst excesses of people's imagination.0

My dream baby names are Frida Elisabet and Emil Rickhard.0

I would think about my child's future while choosing a name. You don't know what that child is going to do in the future. Being taken seriously in the professional world is important if that's the path he or she takes for example, and a name that is out there will probably play a big part in that. Just my opinion of course0

I lovelovelove Rose but it's getting so common around here Rose, Susannah or Elizabeth.
For a boy I love Christian and William.
I think it's a good idea to give a child a name that can be shortened a couple of different ways so they can find on that suits them.
A couple of people said "you're the mum, you choose"-um they're children for a very short period of time. Who wants to hand in a CV that says Bakura?? Some names are just embarrassing!!0 -
For a girl i love Lily Sofia, and Lauryn, and for a boy i love Luke or Ruiari0

I was always told my kids would hate me when they grew up because of what I named them-especially my first child.
1.Echo Jade
2.Christian Matthew (my only boy) Matthew means "Gift from God"
3.Gwendolyn Rose
4.Jennaveve Amber (I spelled it phonetically instead of traditionally.)
5.Autumn Dawn ( I love fall and I love the sunrise.)
So far, all of the kids are ok with their names. Even Echo, who is almost 18 now, has always loved her name, although she's been made fun of here and there because of it.
I say, name your kid what you feel like naming them...although I dunno if i'd want to name my child after any 'evil spirits' lol. :happy:
FWIW, if we have any more i'd love a Piper(girl) or a Seth( boy) one day. :laugh:0 -
If you like it...whatever. Just know that your child will have to live with that name, or change their name to their middle name--and if they're really pissed at you, they'll just come up with something entirely different. James Romeo (family names...Romeo is the middle name) will be my first son's name (please let me have a son), and my daughter will be Magdalena because I refuse to name a child Margaret (my cousin who died of breast cancer was named Maggie). I think all names should have some kind of personal meaning or story behind them, so if yours do, go for it.0

I think the name should be something you and your partner/husband choose.
If you ask for opinions, or announce the name prior to the arrival of the baby - you are ALWAYS going to have people try to talk you out of it, or suggest other names.
It's your choice, but do think of the kid before throwing them a total curveball name.0 -
Ive already picked out a girls name if I ever have one (Hadley) lol. But I'm lost for a middle name. I'll probably do Hadley Kay after my mom.
That sounded trendy about four years ago. It's 'over' as a trendy name now. The huh sound at the beginning is quite harsh. Names ending in 'ley' have been done to death in America. I know you are American, so how a name is perceived in the UK/Ireland is of little importance to you, but to my ear it sounds a bit chavarooneytastic.
Yeah but it's the fact that you're advertising that you DON'T care about other cultures that makes you look a little uneducated! Decklin for example is a corrupted spelling of Declan. Declan is a perfectly normal name, why make it look uneducated by spelling it Decklin! But hey, it's your child and at the end of the day, nobody really cares what you do! so good luck to baby Hadley and baby Decklin!0
