names...
we are having a little girl and we have got a couple of names we like and we want to see when we meet her which one suits best. however we both really like Frankie. I wanted a name with an F as my father was with an F (so was his and so are mine, my brother and my niece). a couple of months ago I told my 3 bffs in confidence that we like Frankie. 2 of them start joking a out it and saying that every time I would say Frankie they would say stein as in Frankestein.. I know they didn't mean it badly and they said they do like the name.. but it really got my back up.. on the card for my baby shower they brought it back up again.. and I know they think it's funny but it upset me :(
@jod1303, oh okay silly me lol yeah it will be difficult but you'll find one :)
@jem29, dont no what im having yet lol my husband will want to match it but its finding something lol
@jod1303, thank you :) I think a lot of people just rush into pronouncing words but if you stop and think about it it's not really that hard lol ilyas is a great name does your one for this baby match it? if that makes sense lol
@jem29, i thought so. what a beautiful name. many people say my sons name wrong too by pronouncin the first i as a capital lol frustrates me xx
I love the name frankie for a girl but would have her full name as francesca. don't listen to anyone else it's your baby. my MIL didn't like our sons name but because I started calling my bump finnley from 20weeks by the time he was born she really liked the name xx
@jod1303, it's so rude when they say things like that. You pronounce amaryllis like amma-rill-iss, it's a beautiful flower and I wanted a unique name. I know a lot of people won't know how to pronounce the name when they read it but 99% of introductions are done by voice! also my name always gets spelled wrong etc etc... so I think you should just pick the name you want and everyone should keep their opinions to themselves!
I know. It's such a commitment. And I find it hard to name a pet! A baby has that name for life xx
@jem29, how would u say that? my son is called ilyas my sister used to joke sayin he will be called ily i was adamant he would not but it was my oh who started it n it angers me lol xx
@felicjuh, I wish I could suggest something to help cos your friend's are making a joke at your expense and it's not nice :(
@felicjuh, i didnt tell anyone outside of family my twins names i wont for this baby either its your baby name her whatever you like hun! xx
I'm struggling with this too. We're calling ours Amaryllis and my grandad thinks it's too weird so he keeps referring to her as Amie and it makes me mad but makes my boyfriend madder and I don't know how to deal with it :( why don't people respect it???
@stacey804, I don't think people understand how hard it is to name a baby! xx
Francis is lovely 😀
