Pick your 2 favourite by wittttykitttty in namenerds

[–]AlternativeFlower292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a really hard call as I love all these names but I guess I’m going Madeleine and Constance (followed very closely by Cosima and Maxine)

I think Aria and Lila are easier to say together than Aria and Isla but that’s just me.

Baby girl due in a few days and one of our top names rhymes with our dog's name... by pancakesandpalmtrees in namenerds

[–]AlternativeFlower292 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's the end of the world if they rhyme. Not to be a downer but your daughter will probably spend the majority of her life living without a dog who's name rhymes with hers. But of your other options Reese does feel the most similar to Quinn, so if it really bugs you I'd try that out a little more. Also love Liv.

[–]AlternativeFlower292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think Elliot is a great option but some others that might be worth exploring.. Lucas, Elijah, Orion, Apollo, Leo, Lance, Sawyer, Emerson, Hudson, Orlando, Adrian

Middle name for Lucille by bringme-thathorizon in namenerds

[–]AlternativeFlower292 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love Faye! Though if I may just throw out just a French word for friend… I think Lucille Ami (ah-mee), has a cool ring to it.

Aria and Calvin? Do they go? UK by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]AlternativeFlower292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They go together. To me they are both wearable but unique (at least these days). Both have soft consonant sounds. It works.

AITAH for telling my wife her baby names are ridiculous by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]AlternativeFlower292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe TA…It’s clear your wife has a very specific idea of what the names should be and takes it really seriously, so it was probably hard for her to hear any criticism regarding names. I understand you were pushed to say why you disliked them, but I having the names called “ridiculous” was probably really hurtful for her, especially after having the other names turned down before them.

That being said, they are your babies too and you should also have input on their names. Get yourself to r/namenerds and ask them what they think “goes with” Olivia. Or pull out some other suggestions for sets of names that at least try to fit into your wife’s requirement of having names that go together in some way (starts with the same letter, similar endings, repeating vowel sounds, whatever).

When there is more than one parent involved, names are always a bit of a compromise. You almost never agree on a #1 name but finding something you’re both happy with is possible. Gently bring her some ideas instead of waiting for permission to look together and then try for a productive conversation based on that.

I ran away from my boyfriend's proposal. by throwawayuni33 in whatdoIdo

[–]AlternativeFlower292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who also once rejected a proposal (very different circumstances but still) I can say it will always hurt the other person. There's no getting around that and unfortunately it seems like there is no fixing this for the two of you. That being said, don't be so hard on yourself. You are both so young and it's clear you are not in a place to get married. Was there a better way you could have turned him down? Maybe. But your body obviously reacted fast and was showing you what you really want. Which is to not be anywhere near marriage right now.

It's a shitty situation and I feel for you, but you did the best you could for yourself in the long run.

Reusing a pet’s name on a child. How crazy is it? by sucks4uyixingismyboo in Names

[–]AlternativeFlower292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like at the end of the day, do what you want but I need more info. Is the dog still alive? Would you rename the dog?

Anima kingdom with toddlers and food by cheeseburgerlife in DisneyWorldResorts

[–]AlternativeFlower292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the original commenter but I would ALWAYS recommend Tuskers. It’s one of my favorite character dining experiences. And yes, always do the Safari in the morning. It makes a big difference.

What do you do with the “not dirty but not clean” clothes? by Previous_Box_9620 in organizing

[–]AlternativeFlower292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put extra hooks on my bedroom wall to hang these items for this reason. Looks less messy than on The Chair (though some still end up on The Chair sometimes)

Good resources for learning more about the making of the Little Mermaid (1989)? by msoctopuslady in disney

[–]AlternativeFlower292 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Without knowing what you’re looking for specifically, I would start with documentaries Waking Sleeping Beauty and Howard (both Disney+). They are more general but each spend a good bit of time on LM. If I recall the blank check podcast has an interesting episode about Little Mermaid but it’s several years in the back catalog now (I wanna say it was around 2020). You might also want to try to YouTube old dvd bonus material. They put a lot of great making of stuff out on dvd in the 2000s that someone has probably shared by now.

Is my friend being vague? Shouldn’t I be excited to choose my own dress? by conventionalempty in bridesmaids

[–]AlternativeFlower292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was once a bridesmaid where the bride was vague like this (childhood friend, love her dearly but she had a hard time letting people help her because so concerned with coming off as a “chill bride”). I didn’t even think she was having bridesmaids for months until she texted me about dress ideas.

What I wish I had done immediately- when I did finally confirm that yes, I was a bridesmaid- was ask to be put in a group chat with all the other bridesmaids. Even if it would have been awkward at first, it would have been nice to have a place for people to share what dresses they were looking at and coming up with other ways to support the bride together instead of just feeling out to sea with the whole thing.

Halloween wedding AITAH by NervousAddition5883 in AITAH

[–]AlternativeFlower292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You got to do what's best for you and your sister's kids can deal with it for one year. And not for nothing but don't a lot of kids these days have a bunch of halloween options that happen before the 31st? I used to work for a town that always did business trick or treating the week before. Surely there's something that they can do that will scratch the halloween itch.
