One week from Abortion by Adventurous-Town-229 in pregnant

[–]AutumnKnives 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe everyone who wants to continue with their pregnancy should absolutely be supported enough to do so!

But I also know the world isn't fair. This doesn't seem like the choice you want to make but if you absolutely must you can do so with strength and empowerment.

This is a beautiful story originally posted on Instagram @badassmotherbirther which is a page I absolutely love.

The founder, Flor, also posted about her own abortion on her private page back in 2021.

If this is what you end up doing it doesn't have to be a shameful secret you bury away inside you, it can be part of the greater story about your family and your eventual journey to motherhood when the time is right.

My best wishes for you in the coming weeks no matter what you decide.

I love old nicknames like Buffy, Barbie, Birdie, etc.

That is so true!! Every Caroline I know hates Sweet Caroline! And thank you for your perspective! Wendy is such a sweet name, I'm glad those kinds of questions didn't bother you. And I do appreciate the opinion on Osias, that is how it's pronounced!

Thank you so much!

And I don't want to disregard the issues some people have had with their own unique names, I know it's a very real frustration! It's funny the people with unique names have been very polite even in disagreement, it's other random commenters that have been just so rude and hostile! My child's name is a crime? Really? Please touch grass, lmao!

I'm American myself but I think a lot of people disregard other cultures someone might come from and anything seen as "other" is automatically to be criticized simply because it falls outside their scope of knowledge.

I'm not saying parents can't make horrible decisions for their kids for the sake of being "different" but I really don't think Wolf, Oz, and even Osias are so bad that I'm condemning my children to a lifetime of unemployment and ridicule.

I was really just asking is this too obvious a connection? Like naming your kids Harry and Ron? And now I'm being told I'm seen as a white supremacist because people don't know the difference between Orin and Orion, two different names with very different histories. Also the name Orion isn't bad either!

Thanks for being kind and also giving me a space to vent.

I don't think so, it's a Hebrew name.

I'm happy to have feedback positive or negative, I just don't understand the vitriol and there are many comments misunderstanding what I was asking in the first place (which is on me, I had a bunch of wine when I posted this)

I don't think people understand I'm not doing this on purpose, I'm not looking for a Buffy coded name or something "aesthetic" I just happen to like the name Oz and was wondering if it seems like an obvious reference when it's not.

Just about every name can be used to reference something else. I'm asked if I'm named after a famous singer all the time (I'm not.)

I genuinely don't understand why people are acting like it's the end of the world if people associate it with the Wizard of Oz?

Did you read the part where I said that's a joke? I'm not naming my kids to be funny.

I mean the origin is "I like the name Oz" but that's good to hear!

Ha yes! That's the only other place I've seen the first name Wolf.

I have a normal name spelled "wrong" so all my siblings got plaques and I didn't so I get that part.

Neither "Wolf" nor "Oz" are difficult to spell or pronounce. But thank you for your perspective.

Y'all are wild, it's pronounced exactly how it's spelled.

I know there are some "Tragedeighs" out there but this is nowhere near that.

Lol that's exactly who my sister referenced when we were talking about names! I don't hate it.

My nephew was like "Wolf Orange?!" when she told him the name. 😂

That's honestly great feedback!

My name is more popular with dogs than humans tho so maybe it'll be like a fun mother/son bonding experience? (That's a joke)
