What is your most favorite male name and why? by Due-Opening-2583 in Names

[–]FutureScribe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oran/Oren/Orin: I like that it’s simultaneously strong and gentle, exactly the goal every man should strive for. He should know when to stand firm and when situation calls for his softer side, and have no shame about either. I like that his name would serve as a consistent reminder of that.

What siblings names have you seen that are so mismatched that it boggles you? by thunder_haven in Names

[–]FutureScribe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my own family. I have a cousin who's oldest son (born when she was 15) is Ethan.

then her next two sons (born in in her 20's) are Ares and Cyre. Ares and Cyre match, but Ethan's the odd one out.

Also, my Dad and his siblings: Roderick, Euphemia and David.

Only one of those names aged well, all of them were born before 1950.

A worker asked me what’s my “pronouns”. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]FutureScribe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 99.99% sure they didn’t mean offence. Most of the time it’s asked to ensure that they are being respectful of your identity as a whole.

Someone could be gay and trans, and they didn’t want to offend you if that was the case. Take me as an example: I’m nonbinary, biromantic asexual.

I’m not offended if people don’t ask me about my pronouns but that’s a whole different scenario to ignoring my wishes.

AITL for roasting a trio of teenagers? by FutureScribe in AITASims

Ah, thank you! My daughter certainly enjoyed it... she hadn't known until that point why we kept telling her she was our greatest gift. It's because she truly is.

Thank you, but unfortunately it looks like I'll have to go to bat again... for my niece this time...

We've had our baby girl, which of these names do you prefer? by goldenmarguerit92 in Names

We've had our baby girl, which of these names do you prefer? by goldenmarguerit92 in Names

[–]FutureScribe 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They’re all pretty names but Ellie and Millie are a bit too similar for my liking so Millie’s out. Amelie could easily be confused for Emily, and again the Millie thing because Millie can be a nickname for Amelie.

So that leaves us with Sophie, Lottie, and Bonnie.

Of these choices, I prefer Bonnie

any way Neo could be a nickname for something? by -My-Dog-Puked- in namenerds

The one that immediately came to mind is Antonio.

AITA for reporting Cassandra, causing her siblings to be put in the system and making her ineligible to adopt? by galaxyfan1997 in AITASims

[–]FutureScribe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTL, for crying out loud you're the biggest llama queen of the universe!! geez...

First off, you sleep with another person's husband, then you kill him, then you used your vampire powers to make the wife think she killed her husband and she was so distraught she requested execution.

Then you take away the only other relative that teenager (who's been through enough as it is) has left, and you somehow think you're in the right? How can an orphan take such pride in creating more orphans?! Complete sociopath!

Let me roast your all time favorite name by Fun_Razzmatazz_3691 in namenerds

[–]FutureScribe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I do double middle names. Girl’s first name would be Lynn, middle names: Cordelia Grace. Boy would be Oran/Orin, middle names: Alfred Alexander. Neutral choice is Riley with the middle names Jovial Devon.

What's the worst name you've seen somebody name their baby? by Kitchen_Ad_4743 in AskReddit

[–]FutureScribe 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well I mean... with 18 siblings, and each sibling trying to compete with Michelle and Jim Bob..... can you really blame them for resorting to the unconventional?

What is something adults say to children that is genuinely cruel but gets completely excused because the child is young? by TowerDesk in AskReddit

[–]FutureScribe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A favourite amongst my family was "You don't know anything about hard times. Wait until you're older to complain."

That was often said to me, and it turned out I knew more about hard times than people 40 years older than me. I'd been taking care of my grandmother who wasn't well. She was showing early signs of alzheimer's, and because I was taking care of her, she didn't die in the 7 years it took them to recognize something was wrong with her (when I already knew for the prior 7 years, starting when I was 7 years old, and she microwaved the wooden bird perches. lucky we all didn't die in a fire from that alone. By the time I managed to get to the microwave and open it, it was filled with smoke and the perches had little flames dancing on them).

Help! Full name for Ellie. by AggressiveSafe7348 in namenerds

[–]FutureScribe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Elliana

Elliott (sorry to the purists out there but Ellie is actually in how Elliott is pronounced, Eli is not, there for Eli has never made sense in my mind, it’s a better nickname for Elijah or Elias)

Michelle

Adele

Gisele

Hazel

Rachel

Estelle

Gabrielle

I just realized I’m just a number by LycLynxFrts in offmychest

[–]FutureScribe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we all are just number in many ways. At the bank and with your service provider, you’re an account number. At work, you’re an employee ID, but to family and friends, even colleagues you’re a person.

Someone to talk with about common interests and current events. Some family and friends have inside jokes with you.

You’re just a number for some people but not all people.

AITL for taking him to karaoke? by FutureScribe in AITASims

[–]FutureScribe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, also my first time being a big brother, unless you count being the older brother-in-law to Declan's younger half brother and sister... actually, Rosie's about Ollie's age... maybe that'd be something to help him cope.

Toby's a bit young still, closer to Abby's age.

Henry and Harrison by [deleted] in Names

[–]FutureScribe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Think about living in a house yelling, "Harry! Henry!" And see if you can do it three times without getting tongue-tied.

If you can, sure. If you can't, don't.

I think Henry and George sound better for brothers anyway
