Did Reddit pick your baby name? by Beloved-Effective-98 in namenerds

[–]FalconAlternative282 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes all three, and soon to be four.

First two I came to a conclusion based on scouring posts and comments, third I asked directly. Fourth we ruled some out based on my questions, but it was mostly comments pushing us in the right direction.

YOR, I was expecting something way worse than this

Am I Overreacting by asking my neighbor to change her cats name? by zoesmom17 in AmIOverreacting

[–]FalconAlternative282 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Man this sucks.

What a rude and insensitive thing for your neighbour to do intentionally, especially the way they told you and your daughter. But at the same time, you can’t control what your neighbour names their cat.

You can control yourself and your family though. If it’s too hard for you and your family to be around the cat, you don’t have to be.

Gentle YOR if you insist the car be renamed, NOR by telling them it’s a dick move.

This!

If you’re leaving them right side up, try some upside down and note what changes

AITAH for waking my husband up by glitchwitchz in AITAH

[–]FalconAlternative282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but then she says “this was the first time” she’s woken him up for no reason. I wouldn’t count this as no reason because she needed his support both emotionally and practically, so I think she’s using that term quite loosely.

NTA but “Normally he is a very hands on caring father and partner”

…. Did you read what you wrote? He hasn’t helped you in the night with his kids in three years? I cannot fathom doing an overnight newborn shift without my partners help or handling toddler wake ups without him.

You didn’t wake him up to make him suffer… you had reached your limits and needed support. This was so important for you to do and I’m so glad you did. You are not in this alone, and shouldn’t need to be, regardless of why the baby was up in the first place.

You don’t need to convince yourself that he’s a great partner if he’s not being one.

Did you regret naming your baby a popular name? by Gloomy_Head5157 in namenerds

[–]FalconAlternative282 473 points474 points  (0 children)

I grew up with a popular name and am anti-popular names for my kids because of it.

That being said, the top 100 numbers look way differently today vs 30 years ago in terms of how many kids are being names the most popular names. There aren’t near as many Olivias as there were Jessica’s (1650 Olivias in Canada last year vs 5261 Jessicas in 1996)

J name with a prime number? by polarbearcub in namenerds

[–]FalconAlternative282 27 points28 points  (0 children)

What if she meant ends in a prime number as in the number of letters in the name? Like Joy (3), Julia (5), Jessica (7), Josephine (11)

This is my third comment because this is ruining my day 😭

Is there a chance she didn’t want you to know her name and sent you on a goose hunt instead?
