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 :(
I know people should respect your choice @jod1303 @jem29 xx
@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
Maybe tell them how it makes you feel? Me and my oh are set on a name but everyone is against it. But I've just ignored people about it because it's our child. But people can be hurtful even when they don't mean it xx
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
