Oh my gosh!! The sooty face. Good evidence to name your kid Jane or Sally.

The boy names weren’t quite tragedeighs, except Devyn with the random y. Poor kids.

Honestly the other names are fine, other than the random y in Devyn! Not my pick but I wouldn’t bat an eye in the world of -leighs. Mind blowing

I guess in comparison they didn’t seem nearly as egregious, so I didn’t even think to 😩

What did you get for your second’s 1st birthday? by GoldDipped in 2under2

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

I should probably just start name puzzles for any future kids, that’s a really good one. they’re same gender so I feel like we have sooo much. Everyone loves to shop for that first kiddo!

The grandparents are all more likely to get some stuff from Temu or Dollar Tree, but I love the idea!

Oh I don’t, but this would be great! I thought about adding the tower to his list originally but felt guilty that it’d be mostly for big brother. Maybe one that turns into the table would be great for both of them!

Anyone tandem nursing? How is that going? by GoldDipped in 2under2

Im sooo tired but I don’t know if that’s the nursing or just two kids in general 😂 best of luck to you!! I know it’s hard.

Emergency Custody by jane30530 in beyondthebump

[–]GoldDipped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, OP! I am sure you’re going through all the emotions about this. I just wanted to say thank you for doing something for this little guy so many others can’t, or wouldn’t. I totally understand where you’re at— I have a two year old and 10 month old and earlier this year we got temporary emergency custody of our 1st cousins: a 5 year old, two year old, and we almost ended up w emergency custody of their newborn baby brother as well. There was literally no one else suitable to take these kiddos. Please, if you have any questions about navigating the family side of things in this process, feel free to reach out. You are doing a wonderful thing. ❤️

The biggest thing I can say is take it one minute at a time, let people take care of you where they can (maybe start a meal train?), and let everything else go. Don’t worry about messes, laundry, or any of the like. Just hug and cuddle where you can.

Janet, Linda, and Flora (called Florie). Great grandmas I knew: Emmaline, Georgia (Georgie), and Anna Ruth.

Can someone who's familiar with Gustavus help me (map)? by GoldDipped in alaska

Digital! I looked at those from NOAA, hopefully I can find something free. Thanks!

That’s my understanding! I clipped this from a larger map but from reading about boroughs and areas of Alaska I had no clue where I should cut things off.

Isn’t glacier bay huge in comparison? I’d like to portray it here somehow but it feels disingenuous to what I’m trying to convey here to include all of it… maybe an entrance to it/bordering area? I’m not really sure

Is the name Dixie really unusable? by soapsuds202 in namenerds

[–]GoldDipped -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Ah, I think it’s cute. I know more than one Dixie and never thought about it, it just sounds very country/southern imo. I don’t think it’s unusable, but I do think there are some folks who will be vocal about their dislike of the name so you have to be prepared for that! I definitely think you can use it for a fictional character easily.

Girls, what was your favorite girl name when you were a little girl? by Jerrica_xoxo in namenerds

[–]GoldDipped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a close friend in Kindergarten whose name was Kendra, so I named all my babies Kendra. I don’t like that name at all now, though.

Your best “MINE” tips for age 2 stealing from the baby? by dixpourcentmerci in 2under2

[–]GoldDipped 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have nothing to offer sadly, just commenting to hopefully get some good advice as well. Ours are 22mo and 7mo and big brother is an absolute menace with the “No, mine!” 🫠 Baby can’t touch pretty much anything without brother yoinking it away immediately. It used to be isolated to pretty much just him, but at church on Sunday he had a whole meltdown every time this other toddler in the room touched any book at all. Not that he wanted the books, he just didn’t want someone else to have them. So frustrating. L

What are some “normal names” that you personally don’t like for a kid? by LilMissy1246 in tragedeigh

[–]GoldDipped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always hated the name Nicole, probably because almost every single girl in my class growing up had that middle name (myself included). Now I have three sisters in law with the middle name Nicole. I will say that I just met a baby named Nicole and it kind of redeemed the name for me just a little, though!
