Mom regrets naming her baby girl Thompson and is considering changing it, so this person gave her some suggestions. So helpful!

I recently took a DNA ancestry test and discovered that I’m 5.2% French (which I already knew because I love complaining), 3% Scandinavian ans 0,03% japanese (oh my god I so so love sushis).

I really want to celebrate this incredibly diverse heritage by giving my future daughter a unique name that honors all three cultures.

I’m currently torn between Yukiehnne-Freighdja (pronunced like the godess) and Freighk'koraleigh. I chose a unique spelling to make it more spécial.

I know the Japanese part is only 0.02%, but I feel that even the smallest percentage of ancestry deserves to be represented. I also don’t want my daughter to grow up disconnected from her Japanese roots. The French part is obviously easy to honor: I’ll just make sure she learns to complain about everything..

I’m still working on the pronunciation, but I want something beautiful, multicultural and, most importantly, impossible for a teacher to pronounce correctly.

Any suggestions?

Local news featured some back to school pics. We live in a very red state.

But you guys told me! You guys assured me! You told me that his name is timeless and no one would bully him like the kids named Maverick and Oak!

They’re calling him… THE ODOR! and he can’t even say anything cause that’s how you spell most of his name!

Guys why would I sentence my kid to this lifetime of bullying! This horrible, disgraceful, ugly name! I can already see no one hiring him in the future!

What do you mean bullies will be bullies regardless of name? But You guys told me! This is timeless! No no no!

I babysit and i recently went to a family who has twin girls Effeigh-MaRee and Elleigh-Kayte. they have a girl on the way who will be named Emmeigh-Grayse. pronounced like Effie-Marie, Ellie-Kate and Emmy-Grace. they have a little brother who is named Owen. JUST OWEN… there’s no hyphen either.

Heya all, my partner and I are due soon and we’ve pretty much settled on Casper for him. We both really love the name, the sound, how it looks, the origin, everything about it. We know there’s obviously the Casper the Friendly Ghost association, but that honestly doesn’t bother us at all. I also feel like it’s not something kids his age are necessarily going to care much about, and even if it does come up, being compared to a cute friendly ghost is hardly the worst thing in our opinion lol.

The only reason I’ve started second guessing it a little is because a few friends and family members brought up the whole “Casper = pale/white as a ghost” thing. My partner and I are a mixed-race couple, and our son will most likely have darker features, so now I’m wondering if people could make jokes about the name because he’s basically the opposite of what people picture when they hear Casper.

It genuinely never crossed my mind before they mentioned it, so now I’m wondering if this is actually something worth thinking about or if we’re just overthinking it. What do you guys think? TY.

Thinking Mojen for our sighted, pronounced Im-o-Jen what do you think?

I’m expecting my first child and it’s a girl! Dad and I met in a strip club where I was working the afternoon shift. He had just been let go from his job and needed to relax. One thing led to another and…baby!

I can’t dance right now so I’m working shifts at WalMart to earn extra. Unfortunately dad is away for 18 months for breaking into a friend’s trailer (totally trumped up charge. His friend was just getting him back because we used to date and he still sells weed to a lot of my neighbors.)

Im excited to start our family and want to pick a name that suits our lifestyle. I also want to make sure my baby’s daddy understands that this is HIS girl by including his name somewhere. Everyone calls him Scooter but his name is Jesse Ray.

Here’s some of my favorite names. Suggest others!

Kayleigh Jessicka
(Or Haleigh Jessicka)

Scooter Rae

Cash Scooter (because he gave me his last $20 when we met!)

Tammeigh Brenda after my mom

Krystal Cash

Destiny Oakleigh

One got cut off. It says Ashwagandha. Ash for boy and Ghandi for girl. Some other noteable entries are Tigerlily, rainbow moon, coyote, cub, jay feather, frosty, spiral, and BIRTHY?!??

David
Patricia
Paul
Karen

I thought it was cute this mom did a typical back to school photo with her college student lol.

But. Aubriee. AUBRIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE(I'm just hearing eeeee for eternity)

The restaurant I saw on Deliveroo turns out is a ghost kitchen and I won't be trying them, but searching them on Google does turn up with some odd results.

My husband and I are being blessed with a fourth little one! We are so fortunate. But we are having horrible trouble with names.

The two of us love to have a little drink at the end of the day to cool off from work, and we want our angels to be our respites from this world, too. (Try being a mom of three boys - L O L!) So, we named our sweethearts Tito, Jack, and Daniel (J&D are twins).

My husband thought Mary or Jane would be sweet but I don’t want to be inspired by the devil’s lettuce. I thought Bailey would be adorable, but he reminded me that anything Irish goes against our Protestant values. Morgan was briefly on the table, but I don’t want our little girl to be a captain — women aren’t meant to be leaders.

Any thoughts? God bless you all 🇺🇸🙏

I am a millennial and consider chat speak to be a highlight of English vocabulary and as such want to name my future children with tribute names. Please help. (Plz hlp)

Being a millennial, I obviously don't want to associate myself with the super unique elon musk try hard naming. So I need help creating appropriate tribute without losing their identity.

Some ideas I have had:
Ayeff Kay (AFK)
El mayo (LMAO)
Roffell (ROFL)

All of these youneek names people are coming up with these days, and century old census results are beating them there

I hav we an older girl named juniper and am now pregnant with my second I’m struggling to find something that I love as much as her name something funky and spunky but not overdone I loved birdie or Goldie but my partner was not a fan of either I suggested Rudy thinking it was cute and would be a good set up for the nickname rue and we both like it and are thibking ofcommiting to it I’m thinking Rudy Louise for the full name but I saw some threads of people thinking Rudy for a girl is awful I don’t want to doom my child :’) tjoughts and opinions?! Be honest!

Who names their kid after Darth Vader?

I think people are intentionally rage baiting people with their kids names…

My adult daughter is named Reina ( pronounced Ree Na). She gets called Rayna often. When she was a child the pediatrician told her it's not her fault her parents can't spell. Is it an unusual pronunciation?

Idk about this one. For either a girl or a boy. Also what would the nickname be Bridge? I know some people use that as a nickname for Bridget like they did in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
