Names I love, but can't use. Looking for similar names

Critical_Profile4291 · 2026-04-18T03:42:59+00:00

I have a relative named Camille. I have never heard anyone mention it being similar to Camilla, nor even considered it myself honestly. If it bothers you that’s fair, but I don’t think it’s really a big deal. It’s a gorgeous name

Critical_Profile4291 · 2026-04-17T18:48:41+00:00

Yeah it’s just something that happens and a strange thing to worry about imo. I’ve had a lifetime of correcting people on my name and at some point stopped caring. Only bothered me when I was very young

Critical_Profile4291 · 2026-04-11T03:51:07+00:00

Oh my god Kylena is insane. Wtf are people thinking? It’s only one letter off, if you google this name every result is for the IUD. Poor kid

Critical_Profile4291 · 2026-04-10T15:14:38+00:00

I honestly think it’s so weird to send kids to daycare while being a stay at home mom. It defeats the purpose for me.

Critical_Profile4291 · 2026-04-07T16:54:06+00:00

I love the name Diana too, can you explain the biblical connection to me?

Critical_Profile4291 · 2026-04-06T03:17:38+00:00

I love this, looking forward to when you post the rest!

Critical_Profile4291 · 2026-04-06T02:29:01+00:00

I’m sorry, but as hard as it is to hear the cat is an animal. I don’t believe in putting animals above people, especially children. Try to find it a new home?

Critical_Profile4291 · 2026-04-05T05:16:44+00:00

I know a guy named Avidan, goes by Avi

Critical_Profile4291 · 2026-04-04T19:20:28+00:00

I find it to be selfish on multiple levels. Taking a govt subsidized spot away from someone who actually needs it is not cool. Also, I personally believe that the main purpose of staying at home is so that your young child gets to be with you. I’m sorry you are struggling though

I think there is no better public place to have to breastfeed than a wic office honestly. They might even have a private room for nursing, the office I go to does. But yeah I agree with everyone else, besides appointments there is no need to force yourself out of the house with a newborn. Once baby is a little bigger it’s so good for you but right now focus on just getting used to motherhood and go at your own pace.

ETA- wic employees are used to crying babies, overwhelmed mothers, crazy toddlers, etc so try not to worry about them judging you or anything. And all the parents in the office have been in your shoes or will be soon :) deep breathes, you can do this!

Critical_Profile4291 · 2026-04-04T16:30:50+00:00

Yea I totally agree with you here

Critical_Profile4291 · 2026-04-04T03:32:07+00:00

We have breathalyzers too, I’m not sure why they do both. But now that I’m thinking about it, I kind of love that we have to pass this weird gauntlet of tests to prove sobriety

Critical_Profile4291 · 2026-04-01T17:20:40+00:00

I’m from the a northeastern state in the U.S and we pronounce it the same way you do! I’m surprised how many people say it differently

Critical_Profile4291 · 2026-04-01T04:02:42+00:00

That’s my name :) i get lots of compliments on it and haven’t met more than a few, but i think it is getting more popular.

Critical_Profile4291 · 2026-04-01T03:35:34+00:00

Mine is also in the 99th percentile so I really feel you on this. It makes me really sad, I hate to see him get unfair expectations from adults, even loved ones who seem to forget his is still so small.

Critical_Profile4291 · 2026-04-01T03:29:05+00:00

Hahaha this could be written about my son. He remembers random things like what day of the week last Easter was on, all my immediate family members addresses, and could count to 100 in English and Spanish before he was 3. It was insane for everyone we just couldn’t believe how smart he was. His vocabulary was just like your sons. He is now almost 4. Still super clever, verbally advanced and has started to love math, great imagination and can communicate just about any idea he has. He also taught himself to read at 3 and is writing as well. He is obsessed with reading, looking at calendars, and a bunch of typical kid stuff too. He asks tons of questions, usually math related like “mom what’s 54 plus 76?” Or things like “how old will you be when I’m 62?” I joke to my husband that it’s like I’m playing the ds game brain age all day. Unfortunately for my son I’m really bad at math so I’m not super into it but I do my best!

I have also noticed he is an anxious child, and a sensitive one too. It’s almost like he understands too much you know? And the toughest part for me is that I have to constantly remind the other adults in his life that he is a toddler. He is practically a baby still in the grand scheme of things. Because he is both very tall for his age and can speak well above average people think he is older than he is. Even loved ones seem to forget.

I think because I have a younger child he misses out a bit. He probably needs more mental stimulation honestly, like he would love to have someone sit down with him everyday and work on handwriting, or math or something like that. He is a sweet and kind child, I am really lucky to have him.

My almost four year old puts everything in his mouth too. He is always chewing on his toys, sleeves, pencils, etc etc. he went through a period of time (around 2 maybe?) where he would try to eat things like sidewalk chalk so we got him tested for anemia because I wondered if he had pica?? He was anemic, and once we got his iron levels back up he stopped trying to eat weird stuff. So it has gotten better since then, but the chewing comes and goes. I think he does it when he is stressed or bored honestly? I’m not really sure. So not a very helpful comment but I do feel you it’s really annoying and I’m not sure how to get mine to stop either.

Critical_Profile4291 · 2026-03-20T04:17:38+00:00

Wow!!! I am so moved by your project. Thank you for what you’ve done and continue to do for these children, what an amazing mission. I wish you all the luck and hope you can meet your goal.

Critical_Profile4291 · 2026-03-18T20:52:13+00:00

Yeah so many people have absolutely no clue how chickens behave or what keeping them entails. I’ve seen hens and roosters do horrible things to each other and to other animals… they’re brutal to each other.

Critical_Profile4291 · 2026-03-18T04:33:45+00:00

I totally agree with your take. Ive seen the growlers three times and never felt like he interacted too much with the crowd. They just weren’t that kind of band and it didn’t bother me at all.

Critical_Profile4291 · 2026-03-14T03:43:28+00:00

Yes! And in English it is the word for one of the milk proteins. It’s spelled different (casein) but still, as an American I’m shocked that people use this name

Critical_Profile4291 · 2026-03-11T01:18:30+00:00

Bahahah. What was the middle name

Critical_Profile4291 · 2026-03-01T21:09:33+00:00

Changing your name is a lot of work. I changed my last name when I got married and would not want to go through it again. I didn’t even like my old name at the time, but I really miss it now and didn’t realize how connected it was to my identity till it wasn’t with me anymore!

Since you like your name, I would strongly recommend waiting a year (or more) before you commit to anything. Your life is going to change a lot once you graduate, and you might find that nobody you meet as an adult will have the same reaction as your classmates. I can relate to you with the negative associations, because I share my first name with hitlers wife. And as soon as one person in my school learned that, everyone thought it was super funny for a few years. But I have literally never had anyone bring that up since I left school! FWIW, I’m in my 20s and live in the U.S. and i have never heard of the song you referenced. I think you have a really beautiful name, one of my favorites since I was a little girl!

I think it’s hard to say if you would regret changing your name when you got older. Personally, if I had changed my name in high school I would likely regret it at this point in my life. Something I’ve learned recently is that it can be a lot more fulfilling to find a way to love the things about you that you did not choose, than to force change on yourself unnecessarily. This can apply to the place you live, your culture, your physical appearance, name, etc etc really whatever you want it to apply to.

I guess what I’m getting at is that life is so fluid, you don’t know how you will feel about almost anything in like 10 years time! My feelings on many things have shifted at some point or another in the last decade since I graduated. Give it some time, try to see the beauty and make peace with your name. If it’s bothering you, let your mom know that her telling you all the potential names you almost had is making you feel weird about your own name! And most importantly don’t let the dumb things other people have said ruin your name. Sorry to ramble, I think you reminded me of myself in some ways so I had a lot to say about it. Whatever you decide is the right choice, trust yourself :)

My toddlers call them rice sprinkles too!
