1 thing I don't think we all take into consideration is the names we give our babies. Yes it's so cute and we love it but do we sit and think about the child's future? How school kids will react to their name? I think that's huge on choosing a name because your choice alone can cause a whole life long bullying or self esteem issue. The kids aren't accepting of such different names and so on anymore and look for things to pick on kids about. It's always been a thought when I see some baby names. Anyone else think this way?

I honestly think it depends where you live and the diversity as a lot of ethnic names could be considered “different” in one area and common in another. I live in a very diverse area my kids have unique names (nothing crazy) and the other kids at their school have some different names, some ethnic names but nobody is teased because of their name.
Of course anyone can name their kid what they want for the most part but personally I tried to find a good balance between names that are uncommon but not completely made up lol. My daughters are Maya and Cali bc I thought they are short and sweet. Well of course after I named them I realize everyone having kids right now thinks the same way and they are turning out to be fairly common names for this generation lol. But I liked Maya and Cali bc they are names that are literally ancient. Both are Hindu goddesses, also Maya is the mother of Buddha. I’m not Hindu or Buddhist lol but I just like the history behind it. But what I like most about them is that they are easy to pronounce lol.
Yes very true. But uncommon doesn't mean it's easy to turn into a bully tactic. Certain names on the other hand are. I've given the example twice in this post but not sure everyone re reads through comments but my brothers last name and imagine having the first name mathis. So mathis subject you know people do it because it's cute and so on but is a setup for disaster lol
🤷🏼♀️ I love unique names. The world doesn’t need another Sara or Jessica 😂
I tried to pick names that were different but not to off the wall.
I agree here as well. Unique names are nice but my brother last name is subject and to pick a first name like mathis is a bit much and people still do it. Imagine mathis subject. That's a child waiting to be picked on
I agree, my hubby and I thought about our kids names before we named them. as I was bullied for my last name and it wasn't even a bad last name. But kids can be pretty cruel.
Ya I agree! My brothers last name is subject and he got bullied bad. But pare that with an even worse first name like mathis subject. People do these things because at the time they think it's adorable
Me and my husband did when we named our children, we also thought about what their names would sound like when they were adults and started to work.
Exactly right! What if they became famous lawyers or doctors with the name jellybean or something.
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...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
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.
My kids have unique names, but I don't find them to be way out there. Our youngest child's name is "out there" being Old Norse and Nahuatl, but doubt it will be mocked. 🤷🏻
I do think names should be thought about and how it will impact them in the long run. Not only in childhood, but adulthood.
So far all we've been met with is compliments on all our kids names for being beautifully unique.
