Dating Faux Pas...

Baby names thread just made me think of one of my favorite dates as of late...

We meet for dinner (blind date). He's good looking, has teeth, wore shoes, and managed decent conversation... it was all on the up and up. Then he asks, "What is your son's name again?"

I tell him it's ***** (which I'll soon delete to protect my anonymity).

He replies, "GOD! Why do people keep making up stupid names for their kids. I don't get it."


Ummm.... he's ya know... already born. He's my child. And that was the name of my great uncle who died at 13, but would now be 88. It's an old name, but a real name, f*cktard.

    I'm assuming he paid for dinner, in which case I must say...at least you got a free dinner out of it!!

    And I hope if he tried to give you the famous "good night kiss" that you gave him a swift, roundhouse kick to the face =)

    What a doucher. Also, Leland is Dog the Bounty Hunter's son's name. I like that name.

    You should have said "Well at least it's cooler than the name _____________ (insert his name)."

    pft - that's a great name! i love the old names that have kind of fallen out of the mainstream. my brother was almost Ziba. i think it's cool.

    clearly this guy was a D-bag.

    *open mouth, insert foot*


    That's kinda hilarious.

    1] that he let his filter down that far on a first (blind) date
    2] that he didn't know that is a real name
    3] that it probably never even occurred to him that it's your son before opening his mouth

    I would have kicked him in the shin under the table and pretended it was an accident, "oh, that was you, sorry I thought it was the table leg in my way." When the check came I would have excused myself to powder my nose and left him sitting there waiting.

    Not really, I probably would have corrected him and made the rest of the date really uncomfortable until he took me home.

    Curious as to how the rest of the date went after his alligator mouth overloaded his hummingbird *kitten*.

    He's a keeper. Such a sweet guy. His name must be Richard.

    I think that's an awesome name! What an oafish person. I guess we can all have foot in mouth disease, but that was pretty darn bad!

    Side note OP: Your profile pic makes me laugh every time I see it.

    I literally laughed. And as light heartedly as I could, I said "Hey, Jacka$$, that's seriously MY CHILD'S NAME! What the hell?"

    And he babbled. We both knew that was it, gobbled up and parted ways.

    I might have been tempted to reply with

    "Gosh I'm sorry. I was tempted to take a polling sample to see what other people thought, but then I remembered he was my f'ing kid. Sorry if you're upset that your approval means zilch."

    LOL - I am proud to say I never had to "duck" a roundhouse kick when going in for a goodnight kiss

    When I was pregnant I told everyone that if I was having a girl I was naming her Ruth . . . beautiful, simple, slightly ofd fashioned, and a family name on both sides. When I had a boy my mom said "Thank God, I hate that name" to which I promptly responded "I'm not done having kids, and the fact that you would feel it approriate to say that to me makes me even more determined to have a girl the next time."

    Apparently pulling coupons out when its time to pay for dinner is not an acceptable thing to do.... sue me. I like to save a buck here and there, doesn't that show fiscal responsibility?

    BWAHAHAHA! Hubby and I refused to tell anyone what we would name him - Best decision I ever made. People are so judgmental. Once it's done, they know to shut their trap.

    For what it's worth, I love the name Ruth. If I was still using my baby-maker it would actually be in the running.

    I'd sue you, but you couldn't afford it.
