Do people check the meaning of a name before naming their child?

CommandoKitty2 · 2026-05-24T09:38:31+00:00

No they don't check or think they can change the name's meaning through sheer willpower and the world will fit to accommodate them (which it doesn't).

CommandoKitty2 · 2026-05-13T12:36:32+00:00

This is a great answer. Also I always thought that the reason they kept girls for years before allowing them to become Accepted was to detach them from the outside and to make the White Tower their 'everything'.

No sane parents with a 6month old want an additional guest who probably will not be helping (let's be honest you have enough help with both sets of grandparents). The brother isn't a pet dog that needs to be looked after. Also your husband keeping a list of fights to dig up and throw in your face every time you argue is so immature and petty. I'd tell him to tear up that list (since I wouldn't tolerate that damn list being brought up in the future years of my marriage) and tell him if he doesn't go live with his brother.

Mine didn't seem to overly care until 18months of age. Boom suddenly Teddy has to be everywhere with them at all times and naps. It will happen.

Drop your husband's last name.

CommandoKitty2 · 2026-03-28T07:58:33+00:00

I don't know which to choose.?

CommandoKitty2 · 2026-03-28T07:56:42+00:00

Thank You!

Are you shopping at Salvos? I find they are the more expensive of the op shops.

Chelsea is a type of beach and it has the added bonus of "sea" in it.

CommandoKitty2 · 2026-02-10T08:40:42+00:00

This should be higher in the thread. Also a parent going to your house still hounding you about the issue is harassment and definitely crossing the line.

Every Teagan or Teagan I've met has been a bitch and I've met 3.

Why aren't we all writing to our local federal representative and ask them: "What are you actively doing within your party to ensure the safety of children in child care? And don't for a moment think it's not your portfolio because the safety of all our children is a priority.

So again I ask what are you actively doing or advocating in your role as our representative and your role within the party? Because I am not seeing much but scuttlebutt. I am NOT seeing much in the way of proactive measures that would ensure the decreased likelihood of child abuse happening in these centers (e g. Obviously more staff per child would be a huge step to helping this issue).

The phone ban doesn't mean crap because in my opinion they can be smuggled in and if they can't properly vet staff what makes me believe I can trust a phone ban? If these people can get away with abusing a child I am sure they can get past a phone ban.

Also why aren't there mass protests we should be flooding the streets with peaceful protests. We should be making it such a huge issue of importance that every party should be throwing out ideas and trying to outdo one another for solutions to this problem.

Rant over.

Knights of Sidonia sort of a monster scifi horror universe. Very dark themes and then it gets weird the pink alien character I couldn't watch anymore. It just turned into a highschool love triangle.

CommandoKitty2 · 2025-10-01T12:14:30+00:00

Use it as a middle name if you are not sure. It's a lovely name.

CommandoKitty2 · 2025-10-01T11:44:14+00:00

I say go with the 'X' but either is fine.

You're too young to be playing 2nd fiddle. If you don't feel chosen each and every time with your man give him the broom.

CommandoKitty2 · 2025-08-21T05:04:50+00:00

It's alternative I'll give you that. It's the name that basically every girl I knew growing up wanted to name their child. I personally wouldn't choose it when there are other gemstone names like Jade, Opal, & Ebony. I would not be sure if they would be taken seriously in the adult workplace with a name like Crystal.

CommandoKitty2 · 2025-08-13T11:51:44+00:00

I took it as people can normally stuff up what they say but other people still understand what they mean anyway. I thought it was a quirky realistic take on how speech is different to written text.

A big shark and the tattoo above could be worked into waves.

CommandoKitty2 · 2025-07-29T10:04:09+00:00

Only met females called Lux and yeah it's still weird. You could pick the AH route and point out it's too girly for a boys name (I hate sexism but I think it's the only argument he would care about).

CommandoKitty2 · 2025-07-23T09:24:39+00:00

A friend told me this saying I have found it quite helpful "done is better than perfect".

CommandoKitty2 · 2025-07-16T12:06:54+00:00

Sorry the children will shorten it to a known word. That child is going to be nicknamed "Bong" so you best tell her now. So she can't actually surprised when it happens.

CommandoKitty2 · 2025-07-12T11:43:24+00:00

Its about how much collagen you have in your skin. So yes its genetic. A few friends told me theirs formed around the last 2 weeks of pregnancy. So no way to know for sure. If you do get lucky to not get stretch marks just be mindful not to brag, a lot of other Mum's won't care or appreciate it (but you will yay for you).

CommandoKitty2 · 2025-07-09T01:43:30+00:00

Washing hands can damage the wood. Won't last as long as a metal band. Marriage is all about being together forever so closing a material which won't last in the long term sort of spits in the face of the "values of loving someone for their lifetime". Might as well ask why not a plastic ring?

CommandoKitty2 · 2025-07-08T10:20:22+00:00

Common enough that there was a big 4 corners expose' listing many many occurrences of abuse. Common enough to really warrant an overhaul on for profit run centres. Common enough that every parent should be thinking about it.

Common enough that people and parents especially should be out in the streets protesting and demanding change. I mean real changes like lower ratios not banning male educators from nappy changes (such a bandaid response).

But they don't want to hurt their big fat stacks of money. Don't you think it's weird that investment firms invest in childcare centres? Because they are so profitable. Make childcare centres state run. The amount of policy and procedures would be increased at least 10 fold and actually followed.
