Im sorry but why have you singled out one person and made a sarcastic remark about her comment? shes entitled to her own opinion.
If you take offense easily which im assuming you have, then maybe you shouldnt open threads like this if your easily offended?
I meant it to be pointed but playful. Of course everyone is entitled to her (or his) opinion, and I never tell people that I don't like their choice in names unless they specifically ask for my feedback, because my philosophy is, "Your baby, your choice." It's pretty clear that what appeals to people in names varies wildly from person to person, so I'm never offended or irritated when someone doesn't have similar tastes to my own. I have three nieces and three nephews, only one of whom has a name that I really like. Two of them have names that I could give or take, three of them have names that I either actively dislike or I dislike how their parents spelled them. And I have never said anything to
any of their parents, because it's really none of my business.
That said, "cute little babies" are meant to one day be adults, so I think it's a good idea to give them names that will sound good on adults. That's the point I was trying to make.
FWIW, I agree with the poster in that I don't like "Harry" either, but only because it sounds like "Hairy." That could be really unfortunate if I ever have a son with similar body hair to his father...

If I were going to use it, I would use "Harrison," but it's never been on my list. Old-fashioned names I can give or take. Some of them I'm not fond of, but it's not like the current generation has fared any better with its plague of Hayden-Jayden-Kayden-Aidans, and I think that if fresh ideas are needed, reviving older names that have fallen out of style is a valid option.
