Why are people so rude over names!? - Page 2

DeniseX · Apr 13th, 2012, 12:31 PM

I've had 2 people that don't like the name we've chosen; one of which being my father who I don't really talk to as is but I've tried keeping in the loop for big things about the baby. We're naming our daughter Keira Aubrey, to which my dad replied "that's a black name, where the f*** are you guys coming up with these?!" ... I just told him it was good it wasn't his kid then, we love the name and that's that. And too bad the name Keira is Irish origin- good try though you racist pig. Little things like that remind me why I never wanted contact with him in the first place. The other was a male friend of DH and I, he asked when he was over our house if we picked a name yet, so I told him and he's like "why would you name her THAT? you're pretty much setting the kid up for failure with a name like that." Glad you don't like it, kindly keep your opinion to yourself and STFU.

THIS is sooo annoying! getting is so much at the moment!

A friend asked me what names we like so i said a few and she said "really? I don't really like that, no i really dont"! I didn't know what to say!

I really don't care about your opinion! It is not your baby!

I tell most people ask her and she tells them ask him. In reality we decided on names before we even tried for this one LOL

people just cant keep their mouths shut and will always have an opinion. When i found out my 2nd was another girl we decided to name her Sarah, my brother in laws girlfriend told me not to call her that as it was an old womans name!! After she was born and she seen her for the first time she said it again and told me Sarah looked like a wee boy!!!! I could have slapped her right across the face, she has 2 kids herself too and is 37 years old for gods sake! You think she would have known better!!!

sooo many rude people about by the looks of things, the next person to tell me they don't like my baby's name is getting an earful I have decided

I've now told my mum we're calling it bear....she didn't know where to put herself. Haven't told her that we're not really (although I secretly love the name)

I remember before we had officially decided on a name I was telling my mother some of our possibilities, and she goes, "Oh that's a big name for a little baby." Well I hate to break it to you but she's not going to be a little baby forever.

We also had "friends" tell us that the name Eloise was too "Old ladyish" and in the same breath suggests the name Renee and I fired back that I hate the name Renee (no offense to any Renee's here, just a personal preference) and then my friend gets all "sad" because that's her middle name. Well? You're going to be overly opinionated about our name I'll be the same way with yours and see how you feel. If you can dish it out you should be able to take it.

I just handed my sister her ass. While we're typing on this board/thread about rude ass people my sister kept telling me to change the name to Raylee...which I don't want. She wants it Raylee, because my middle name is Lee. Which I don't like, not for me at least. So, I told her I felt that Raylee is a country singer's name, I just don't want it, and we've settled on Rayne. She tells me that Rayne is "ghetto as hell." I told her to go fuck herself and she can get over it. Ugghh.....then she tries to say, "just kidding." Just kidding my ass. Enough is enough. Her name is set, if you don't like it, have your own damn kids and name them what you want!

exactly! next person who says they dislike my baby name is getting "well i've always thought that about you're name I just wasn't rude enough to mention it."

When I mention Oliver, I get "well thats common", well its a shame I don't want to name my child something ridiculous like "peach". It's common because it's traditional and nice?
