babynames | ok people.

Our name choice have changed. I'm sick and tired of non-fanasy book reading people saying where the hell did you get the name Keladry from. Thus...

Meckenzie Paulette, for a girl ^{a mix of our middle names, Meckenzie (me) and Paul (Chris)}and for a boy, Daddy's name, possibly. I am wondering if that will make my older son feel wierd when he is older, or not wierd, just...left out. Now that chris and i are married, we are doing our best to include Seth in EVERYTHING. Chris is also planning on adopting Seth when he gets back from Basic Training for the Army.

Does anyone besides me feel like, if they name their baby after one relative, a favorite aunt/cousin/sibling then everyone else will get upset? and i would really love to name my daughter (when i have one) after my mom, but then, because my mom's life was cut so short (she was killed here in NYC), everyone will compare my little girl with her, and i don;t want that hanging over her head, and plus, Chris' mom and step mother ^{both of whom i seriously dislike!!!!} will then expect their respective (and hidious) names placed in there too. and there is no way in hell any of my kids will be marion or doreen. (no offence to anyone with those names, my hatred of them comes mainly from the people with them that i know). My mom was Theresa, which isn't so bad, but like i said, yeah...

Or is this all just me?

My mom was thinking about naming me Carolyn but decided against it because my dad's mom's name is Caroline and she thought her mom would feel bad. The stupid thing about that though was my grandma's first name is Caroline but she's never gone by it!! She always used her middle name. And Carolyn and Caroline are two different names.

Anyways, I think your fear is common. However, I think it would be nice to name her after your mom, especially since she is not alive anymore. I think that since it would be in loving memory you wouldn't have to worry about including the other names.

I don't know...I guess just go with your gut! : )

i like your logic, but you meet these witches, and you'd understand. (well, technically i only mey his stepmother, his mom is in Vegas, but i have valid reasons for mmy hatred of her, too)
When we were going to visit my mom's grave, his step-mom got mad because she felt we SHOULD be going to dinner at her house instead, for no good reason, instead of, and i quote, "look at some dead womans grave that doesn't even has a marker. would would give a fuck" unquote. obvioulsy, she didn;t have the balls to say it to me, she would've had her mouth smacked celar off her face, but still. and i have heard comments (i love the mute button on the other extension of teh phone) from his mom of quote" if you guys name a baby girl asfter her mother who wasn;t smart enough to not love a man who wold kill her and her son, then you damn well better give it my name too, and as afirst name" unquote. this from the woman who stayed with the man who was molesting his own step-sons (HER sons)...*sigh*

I can;t win.

yep, i have ruled out similars too. hence using our own names, they can go screw themselves, i LIKE to think my child would like being namesd after her mommy and daddy damnit!

BTW, i;m off to friend you as you seem to be in like, all my communities, lol.

seems like i have been bumping into you EVERYWHERE!!! have i seen you in

pregnant too? a long time ago i was banned from posting there becasue of some stupid crap, mostly being, i got pregnant, wanted to hide it from family, lost it, and concieved again on the next cycle, under really bad circumstances that my husband and i have worked out, if you know hwta i mean. i asked them, why they banned me for that, i mean, i was very ofetn gving pretty good advice that i was told worked with the kids fromthe people i gave it too, even before i was pregnant agin, becasue of my son, i knew a good bit about high risk pregnancies, and yet, when i need the suppot i got there most...BOOM! banned with no warning. at all. *pout*

? who else?? i am not in a lot of the BF communities simply becasue i seemed unwelcome, becasue of all the feeding problems my son had, which made him need cereal, and such so very early.

okay, i just went and looked at your info. You scare me. i am 22 weeks and 1 day pregnant. how far are you now? (i don;t knwo if tickers update themsleves...)

august 4th over here, appointment tomorrow. no sono yet, sadly. *whine* we gotta meet up one day. we are both in NYC too. sheesh. stop stalking me, lol. i am actually in a shelter in the bronx, just for teh weekend, i was here on the island. Um, eerieness anyone??

lol. yeah there are a lot of us. yeah i noticed you were in brooklyn. do you have aim/aol? if you do, im me at MyHusbandsMyHero, if i don;t get an i in a copleminutes i gotta go, as i have an apointment at 11 and it is like, two hours away.

Personally, I love the idea of naming kids after important people. All of my kids (in the distant future, lol) will be named after people who were/are important to me.

Meckenzie is a terrific name and I like the unique spelling.

I plan on naming my first child, son or daughter, after my father who passed away 4 years ago. I don't care who gets upset. ;) I was thinking if it is a girl to include a variation of my mother's name as her middle name too.

that's awesome. yeah, Meckenzie is spelled wierd because my full middle name is Meckenziegennette, but i would never curse a child with that, lol. (pronounced mek-n-z-jun-aht, don't freaking ask). i got paulette from chris' name paul.

Di you get "Keladry" from teh Tamora Pierce books?

ok people.
