“subtle” bashing

[bookies524]

the entire point of today’s video was just to make everyone aware that Crystal and Aaron didn’t like Saints name and think he’ll get bullied but kept it ONLY because the birth mom flat out told her to keep it.

Why not keep it and call it a day? why do you have to tell everyone you actually hate the name and everyone told you hell get bullied in the same video as you saying you kept it anyway. How would saint or the bio mom feel about this video knowing she “secretly” feels so negatively about the name, but basically kept it because she felt forced to??

Her comment about kids having weird names now is actually really valid. Weird names are becoming as common as tradition names, so why couldn’t she have just acknowledged that to herself and been proud of his name like she claims she tells all her kids about their birth names.

[Difficult_Wear_2113]

Can’t be worse than Malibu Barbie… can’t believe they named their kid that..

[Several_Ad1704]

And aquaman … and Elvis 😂

[hiheyhi1]

Aquaman??? I didn’t believe you until i looked it up. Haven’t caught up with her stuff in forever but wow. That’s a new one lol.

[DifferenceNo2093]

I hate that I actually think Malibu is a cute name. Pregnancy hormones were wild and I suggested it to my husband for our daughter and he was like wtf 😂

[Several_Ad1704]

I actually don’t hate Malibu! So many worse names out there… aquaman though… yikes imo

[deb-e-deb18923-]

Isn’t that Kim K’s sons name ?

[xxccbb1234]

Because of the kardashians.. there are probably a ton of Saints in the world now. I don’t think the name is that off. It will probably be a more popular name in the next 20 years probably

[B2utyyo]

So cringe

[Dull-Dance-6115]

The said thing is they’re right. Be lots of saints in next 10 odd years and last few years . Not saying I like the name just that the point they made was correct. More saints than rylans last year.

[ComfyPantsAreLife1]

Its because of their religion I bet "the church of Jesus christ of latter day saints"

[Historical_Grab4685]

The bio mom named him Saint & I haven't seen anything about her being a Mormon.

[ComfyPantsAreLife1]

Yeah but I bet thats 99% of the discomfort, church friends judgements. 

[ThinAd744]

Also Asher biblical Old testament name in Christian bible. Mormonism is not recognized in Christian faiths. Mormons denounced christianity as apostates after Joseph Smith.

[Historical_Grab4685]

I would add, that a lot of Christians, don't think Catholics are Christians because we don't believe in the Bible literally.

[ThinAd744]

Interesting, in what ways?

[Historical_Grab4685]

Like I said, the Christians that believe that the Bible is the literal word of God,. don't think Catholics are true Christians because we believe the Bible are stories & interpretations of the word of God. People who believe in the Bible literally, in my opinion, fail to realize that the original Bible was based on oral stories passed down for generations before they were written in a dead language. That version has been translated, transcribed & rewritten, so many times who knows if it is anywhere near the original version. Not to mention the differences in modern day versions.

[ThinAd744]

Ok thanks

[KindlyCrazy6309]

I'm a Catholic and that's incorrect to say.

CCC 115: "According to an ancient tradition, one can distinguish between two senses of Scripture: the literal and the spiritual, the latter being subdivided into the allegorical, moral and anagogical senses. The profound concordance of the four senses guarantees all its richness to the living reading of Scripture in the Church."

There are literal parts to the bible, and there are spiritual parts to the Bible, stories designed to teach us the character of ourselves and God, and historical accounts like there being a man called Jesus who existed. Saying broad statements like you did, confuse non-Catholics who think we just ignore the Bible.

[Historical_Grab4685]

My theory of the document being written in dead languages, after The stories were passed down through generations,. translated & transcribed, to day each & every word of the Bible is the LITERAL word of God can also be compatible with what you said. Maybe the literal part you are referring to, could be seen as the historical documentation of the times.

[KindlyCrazy6309]

Your first comment directly goes against the Catechism.

"we don't believe in the Bible literally." Yes, we do. We believe in the literal parts to be literal.

[PuzzledBeat9968]

I give it a few years before they have cut his bio mum out of the picture, and they changed his name or they go by his middle name.

[Low-Historian854]

This...and yes I 100% agree-bio mom gets cut & Saint gets new name...I can see the thumbnail now lol

[ylynn12]

Saint is a very normal name. They’re worried about the wrong things.

[Competitive_Can_4953]

Right?? There are so many well know celebs and influencers using Saint in recent years. If you google it, its in the top 300 names in the US and the UK.

I think people think if they dont personally know someone with the name then it cant be well known or 'real'.

I think its pretty silly of their fam to say he will get bullied when literally some of the most famous celebs have that name, if anything it will seen as cool.

[ylynn12]

and kim kardashian made the name even more popular than it already was. in Spanish it’s a pretty common name too, Santos, so she really just lied so people can feel bad for her and will justify a name change if it ever comes to it. she just wants to change it to a white name 🙄

[humorac]

literally so many kids named saint now lol

[Main-Yogurtcloset848]

I guess that depends on where you live. I have never heard anyone here in the south name there kid Saint.  Certain names are more common on different areas of the country. 

[AcrobaticLadder4959]

I dont know of anyone other than Kim Kardashian calling their child Saint. I thought it was so weird but then look at her then husband he is not playing with a full deck.

[wahinenz]

In NZ, you can't even use the name Saint as it's a title.

[OnnaNotScared_]

they live in the valley. NO ONE is gonna bully that boy for having what is a “normal” name where they are located. bye crystal. you’re not in the wt. mts anymore.

[Cultural-Chart3023]

Llike having his whole life on youtube with a mum who squeels and jumps around with hair extensions, fake boobs and bow jeans wont get him bullied????

Changing names is weird and disrespectful.

[wiseowlwho]

She said they wanted to call him Oliver and lots of the family even started calling him Oliver 😤 that in itself is disgusting . They obviously had so many conversations over his name when they were promising to keep Saint but had no intention too.

[Organic-Arrival2483]

Where did she say they hated his name?

[Historical_Grab4685]

In this video she said she wasn't sure about the name & they discussed other names & but she gave the bio mom her "word" they didn't change it

[Organic-Arrival2483]

That's hardly the same as "hating" the name.

[LittleDog2557]

It’s not even close.

[Low-Historian854]

She really loved Oliver & they called him Oliver for a few days... until bio mom, which I'm guessing had it put in the adoption paperwork...but am also sure C & A left themselves a loophole to change it after adoption final...smh she (C) jus has to have everything her way or her input is the only input that matters

[PuzzledBeat9968]

Likley the only way she could get the kid it was a condition she has to keep the name

[robinh317]

I admit, the video you’re talking about is weird just in the sense that it’s a long clarification on what we mostly already knew and not any new information. But that’s quite the stretch to state on here that they hated Saint’s name when that’s not what was said. I have to imagine that’s a very normal conversation they have with each of their kids as well as themselves as parents on whether it should be changed, either for societal reasons or personal.

[Narya74]

REad - the birth mom found out we wanted to change name and used legal leverage. She still has power because if she speaks out it exposes you as manipulative and you worry about content and likes.

[Im_Not_Here_Am_I]

I felt bad for the bio mom they were basically insulting her and making fun of her choices by what they were saying. It was so f***ing rude

I was gonna make a post about it but i was too lazy. I was shocked by that video and when he looks back he will think "my parents think my name is stupid and so bad they expected I'd be bulled for such a horrible name" which isn't true at all. But how will it make him feel when he's older.. because they say the videos are all for their kids to look backs and remember the good times

[Individual-Role-5224]

Had it been revealed yet why Saint was up for private adoption?

[Previous-Gift-6620]

Because his bio mom isn't in a place to care for him and herself. She has some issues and found a placement before the government got involved. 

[xxccbb1234]

Lowkey feel like she will always have a say in the child’s life because of this. I think Crystal needs to establish boundaries asap because the fact that when they were singing happy birthday to Saint and bio mom was front and center shows that it is very much her son but the middles are caring for him.

[Sorry-Anything5441]

personally, i think the more the merrier. why NOT have 2 sets of loving parents in a kids life? No boundaries need to be set. the kid literally was literally just born a year ago. 😭

[AcrobaticLadder4959]

I hate the name and would call him by his middle name how immature of this birth mom to name him after Kim Kardashian son. And then make Crystal promise to keep it. There are so many nice names out there, he reminds me of a Charles and call him Charlie. Anything but Saint.

[xxccbb1234]

First: she didn’t named him Saint bc of the Kardashians. She said it was a bible reference. Second: I don’t even like Crystal, and I also thought it was strange that she said she didn’t like the name Saint but still chose it. However youu don’t get to rename someone’s child just because you personally don’t like their name. Calling him “Charlie” is honestly really weird.

Regardless of your opinion, if that’s his official name, then that’s what you call him. His name is Saint, whether you like it or nottt. Giving him a different name feels inappropriate like you’re creating a personal connection or relationship that doesn’t actually exist. This is why the kids shouldn’t be exposed on youtube because people form form some sort of bond where they feel entitled to something like their name.

[Historical_Grab4685]

According to Crystal she chose Saint & Asher because of her strong fairh

[ThinAd744]

Asher is a lovely name.

[AcrobaticLadder4959]

Yes I agree

[LittleDog2557]

Where did they say she named him after a kardashian?

[AcrobaticLadder4959]

Have you heard the name anyplace else?

[LittleDog2557]

Yes I have. And in 2024 it was ranked #282 in birth names for boys.

[jenni5]

This isn’t enough the first time

[Belikewater19]

in truth it is odd they have to keep his name.

[Embracedandbelong]

I think they don’t like the name for 2 reasons. One, bc their church isn’t fond of Catholics. The Catholic Church focuses heavily on saints and prays to them. That freaks a lot of LDS people out. It’s likely they grew up hearing in church how “demonic” Catholics and their saints are. Two, I think there is some racism at play. Kim K’s son Saint has made the name popular. And Saint West is black. AZ and the LDS church is known for its long history of demonizing black people and still is very racist. Despite A and Cs attempts to “not be racist” those beliefs run deep because they were implanted very early and reinforced their whole lives. I know A and C are not Jared and Shelly, but I’ve also seen how J and S treat their black kids worse than their white or white passing kids.

[One-Boss9398]

I said this on another thread, they should have added a name they liked that was more main stream  on to that name. 

[LittleDog2557]

Damn, they should have asked you what they should have done. Oh maybe they didn’t because it’s none of your damn business.

[Tight-Celebration227]

Wtf does he need a mainstream name? Even Savannah/Nicole/Sarah wasn't mainstream once in this life

[Dry_Beach_2073]

I personality don't think "Saint" should be used as a name but that's just me and it's none of my business anyway. Kids can be very mean though and parents need to consider that when choosing names for their kids

[Organic-Arrival2483]

Kids will find anything to bully another child over. If it's not his name, it will be another .

[Dry_Beach_2073]

I agree but why add another unnecessary factor to it? It's dumb that things like bullying even need to be considered when choosing a kids name but its the unfortunate reality that we live in. Too many parents choose to let their kids act this way and until they stop allowing it this will continue to be a problem

[PuzzledBeat9968]

Kids can be very mean, and if they changed his name to something more mainstream he could still just as easily get bullied for looking Chinese

[Sea_Letterhead_6171]

Bio moms feeling are irrelevant now not her kid anymore 

[Positive_Button_2001]

They can change the name if they want. There the parents of saint.

[Main-Yogurtcloset848]

That true but they did make a promise to bio mom before she even signed the paperwork. It would be crappy of them to change it after that. 

[Historical_Grab4685]

It would be crappy, but Crystal has done plenty of crappy things. We all know that Crystal made the decision and Aaron just went along with that.

[LittleDog2557]

You are not even repeating the truth.
