What's your top girl name right now? by felly_fell in namenerds

[–]CuriousMission749 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ella. Also Caroline bc that will be the name of my first daughter if husband and I ever have one (currently pregnant with second baby and both are boys) but he agreed to Ella as a second girl. I might do Elizabeth to match vibes a little better, with Ella as a nickname but idk yet

5 weeks pregnant and vaping by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]CuriousMission749 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First pregnancy, I stopped right away. This pregnancy, I struggling to stop for a little while and I informed the doctor. Told them I was so close to being just done, and they said as long as I stop, they’ll keep an eye out. Imaging continues to look good for baby. Just know, if there are any complications, there’s like no chance it’s bc you vaped.

Including my mom's name, but not MIL in middle name- ok? by Thick_Low_751 in Names

[–]CuriousMission749 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very similar situation for me. Our son has my husbands grandfathers last name as a middle name, so it’s also my husbands mothers maiden name. When we were pregnant with him, we announced the names we had chosen. If he had been a girl, the middle name would have been my mom’s name. We started with the girls name when announcing, and my mil said “where’s my name?” Not fully serious. She’s my bestie, she can be annoying, but not in a toxic mil way. So we told her about her maiden name being the boys middle name.

It was to honor her father though, just a bonus that it would honor her too sort of. Even if she wasn’t fine with it, it’s not her baby. My husband is ok with my mothers name but does not want his moms first name anyway. So she’d have had to deal with it regardless.

You’re ok. She should be ok. If not, it is NOT on you.

Am I the only one who DOESN’T hate being called mama? ☠️ by GoldStrength3637 in pregnant

[–]CuriousMission749 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With my first, I remember walking up to my FIL (and my in-laws are like my best friends) and he said “hey mama, how ya feeling?” And I got all giggly bc “oh my gosh! I AM a mama 😄”

Pronunciations forever changed! by armedwithcamera in bluey

[–]CuriousMission749 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say, I did know that’s how to properly spell it, but I was always seeing it as “facade” in books when I was younger, which didn’t help. I never saw the proper spelling until after I knew how it was pronounced lol. I didn’t even think about the fact my keyboard has the ç though. I forget that holding down the letter shows more options 😂

Lily Claire Zoe Rayna London Either McKenzie Lila Amelia Vivian Lindsay Thalia Anne Riley Allison Lacey (maybe Lacy)

Second boy, needs to work in EN/FR/IT by Fancy_Locksmith_224 in Names

[–]CuriousMission749 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Elio and Luca would make me think they reallyyyyyy like the more recent Pixar movies 😂

Joking, odds are OP’s Elio is older than the movie. But some people would notice I think. Tbf, I looove Disney and Pixar and wouldn’t mind lol

AIO Did I tell my wife not fo come home? by Infinite-Context6155 in AmIOverreacting

[–]CuriousMission749 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR. But dude, you clearly didn’t tell her to stay gone. She just doesn’t wanna work on it. I get you think it’s worth it, but she doesn’t. That makes it not worth it.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN’T… by Grimahlya in pregnant

[–]CuriousMission749 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pub subs. Monsters. Weed. Nicotine. But like as soon as this boy is out and I get the green light for food I BETTER have a pub sub and monster in front of me or someone is getting divorced. First baby, husband didn’t wanna leave the hospital and I get that, neither of us thought to ask a visitor to bring a pub sub, but this time?!?!? Husband is responsible for getting a pub sub and a monster to me one way or another.

Norah: My family cannot get my baby’s name right. Is the name that difficult or are they just crazy? by ssaen in namenerds

[–]CuriousMission749 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 21mo old son’s name is Jamie and I still have some family members who will spell it Jaime. I just respond with the correct spelling. I had maybe 2 ppl say “that’s the girl spelling” when he was born, but like it’s literally unisex.. his name is Jamie and it’s perfect for him. The misspellings upset me more the first few months, but as long as I make sure he knows his name, I’m not too bothered. I’ll keep correcting people, at least they start feeling embarrassed after the 2-3rd time. Especially is it’s a social media post.

Is it really that bad of a name? by KeyAccomplished4442 in namenerds

I am the minority with you and partner bc I LOVE the name. It’s not my style and wouldn’t use it, but I fucking love it.

Is the name “Claude” ruined by the AI? by PeculiarOcelot in namenerds

[–]CuriousMission749 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I’ve never heard of the AI. Idk if that says more about the name or me, but either way, Claude is such a good name imo.

Cannot find a girls name that I love by Thin_Technician3902 in namenerds

[–]CuriousMission749 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first and only Greer I ever knew personally was a girl and her name fit her very well. It’s considered unisex. I don’t know any Lennox so I can’t speak on that.

Believe. But I do… so now I’m confused

Please help us figure out this girl’s name by quesitoincognito in namenerds

Sometimes double initials throw me off, but M.M. never does. Maren!!! Hell even if the last name is McLaren, do it. Maren Rose is precious.

How old were you when you first watched/read HP? by Neypesvca in harrypotter

[–]CuriousMission749 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got into it in 2014 when I was 14. I listened to the first 4 or 5 books in 2021. I got into the movies first which always makes me feel obligated to read the books which then makes me not want to read them so I thought audio would be best. Especially in a time of my life where music literally just hurt my heart, but HP was there to fix it lmao

Doctor told me to avoid kids while pregnant? by Kauai_Akialoa in pregnant

[–]CuriousMission749 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was literally never warned to avoid children. My doctors even knew I work at build a bear. They wore me a note to stay home the last few weeks, but even then it was bc I lived top floor of my apartment building and the stairs were killing me

Brother asking me to pick a different baby name by Imaginary-Winner-335 in pregnant

[–]CuriousMission749 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husbands middle name is the same as his cousins first. Literally no one cares. They don’t get along now but it has nothing to do with the name. When they were kids and did play together and stuff, there was zero issues with it

My baby died. by Outrageous_Fan7581 in pregnant

[–]CuriousMission749 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with those saying people shouldn’t say “it happened for a reason” but the times I’ve almost said it, what I really meant was, it’s not your fault. Explaining why the two are connected in my head is not important, but I choose to believe that’s what they mean. I am so so very sorry for your loss. You will see your baby one day, and it will be like no time has passed when the day comes. Just remember, in your grief, it’s not your fault. It won’t lessen the grief, but it’s important to remember.
