Radio Show Debate

[brittmarie.livejournal.com]

A local radio station put a name up for debate, because a listener emailed in regarding what they want to name their son.

Mom and dad are firm on the first name "Chase". Mom wants to use her maiden name as his middle name. The maiden name? Heiney. Dad is less than thrilled and not agreeing.

So, baby name gurus. WDYT of Chase Heiney?

Someone has to give because that is AWFUL.

Yeah, with that last name, I'd avoid first names that are verbs or adjectives.

[stacyinthecity.livejournal.com]

Well, that is the mom's maiden name, proposed as the middle name. Not the last name.

[ma-ee-uh.livejournal.com]

Oh, guess I skimmed.

I stick with my initial comment (but would swap the word "last" with "middle" :) ).

[raze--the-rose.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

[pirahan.livejournal.com]

Sorry mom, you just can't do that!

No.

This was my first thought too. Poor kid. I'm so glad nobody can pronounce my middle name. Saves a lot of teasing in the end, honestly.

*You're in your local grocery store when a random person suddenly shouts out "Chase. HEINY. Get your butt over here right NOW." ...and all the people awkwardly clear away*

Yea, yikes. I'd throw all my energy into a veto on that one. Lol

Oh, my gods! I snickered, then laughed out loud at this. Which is probably exactly what I would do if this happened while I was in a store. :D

Mom is nuts. And cruel to want to name her kid Chase Heiney. I read it as Chase Henry at first and thought that was bad enough. This is much worse by a power of 100. What makes her think Heiney is a good name for a child, even as a middle name? Did she not get teased to death with it as her last name? Why inflict it on her own child?

What's wrong with Chase Henry?

[jeweledvixen.livejournal.com]

Well, besides not liking the name Chase, it sounds like you are telling people to chase Henry.

[politicking.livejournal.com]

Ew. No. Chase Heiney... noooo. Lol

[redfield79.livejournal.com]

I don't get why this would be even considered unless she was purposely trying to be funny. Which it's not, at all.

Also, was this Elliott? LOL I think you're local to me.

Oh my sweet lord. no. no. no. I really can't believe she thinks that's a good idea!

[harinakshi.livejournal.com]

I have an old school friend with that middle name. It's a snicker worthy name on it's own, it should NEVER be put with a verb:( If she's grown up with the name she should know the teasing that comes with it so what on earth is she thinking?

[okay-here-i-am.livejournal.com]

No no no no no no no no no....

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

That has GOT to be a joke, OMG.

[designingdreams.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't do it. But, I know a Willie Recht ("will-erect") and he turned out alright.
