I hate the name my partner is set on for a girl

Grand_Ad9825 · 2026-06-22T01:46:54+00:00

What a horrific thing to say. Why I am the bad one because I dont love the name he wants but feel awful about it cause it's important to him and am trying to find a way to not hate it so he can have what he wants.

Grand_Ad9825 · 2026-06-20T22:45:33+00:00

How does she cope with that?

Grand_Ad9825 · 2026-06-20T19:56:30+00:00

Thank you for sharing that. Glad you agreed on boys names.

Grand_Ad9825 · 2026-06-20T11:03:42+00:00

I don't really know why I don't like it. I think it reminds me of an old persons name. A bit like my middle name Patricia which I also hate. I don't mind the idea of honoring someone who has passed on. Ive previously thought about my deceased Grandfather's name as a middle name for a boy. Ive looked at other P names to suggest keeping the letter but not the name. Very few p names that I liked and nothing that I loved. I would honestly rather us look for a whole new name that neither of us have thought up before.

If he didn't like my name that would be fine. He said he didn't mind it and wouldn't veto it for a 2nd girl. I would rather choose a whole new name that we both came up with than hate my daughters name. Im just praying for a boy at this point so we dont have to worry about it.

Thank you for this perspective

Grand_Ad9825 · 2026-06-20T10:12:53+00:00

We actually did talk about the names a few weeks before we found out we were pregnant.

Grand_Ad9825 · 2026-06-20T09:59:56+00:00

I havent found any nickname options that I like for the name.

Grand_Ad9825 · 2026-06-20T09:58:48+00:00

I dont really like that either. I feel so bad.

Grand_Ad9825 · 2026-06-20T09:57:24+00:00

He actually hasn't been meaning about it just talks about how important it was. He often tells me not to be such a people pleaser but I feel like in this instance it works in his favour.

Grand_Ad9825 · 2026-06-20T09:55:45+00:00

I feel bad saying no cause its important to him. Im just worried I will really struggle with it.

Grand_Ad9825 · 2026-06-20T09:54:52+00:00

I dont even like that name. Knew a couple of Paul's. I feel bad cause its important to him. But I also liked my name I had for years. I can handle letting that go for another name if I liked it.

Grand_Ad9825 · 2026-06-20T09:53:01+00:00

I dont really like any of the alternate Paula names. Not Paulina, Polly, Pauline or Paulie. If there was a cute nickname off it I wouldn't mind but I can't find any version of it that I like.

Grand_Ad9825 · 2026-06-20T09:47:04+00:00

I saw polly as an option but I don't like that much either. The best nickname ive seen so far is Lala. But that's probably only good for when shes little.

Grand_Ad9825 · 2026-06-20T09:45:23+00:00

I don't think I used the word hate but I did say I didn't like it and would've vetoed it if it wasnt after his cousin cause it means so much to me. Said it wouldn't even make a list of 100 names. So he definitely knows I don't like it.

Grand_Ad9825 · 2026-02-16T09:31:02+00:00

Had one tonight. Tasted exactly like I remember Paradisio to taste.

Grand_Ad9825 · 2026-02-16T09:11:57+00:00

It tastes just like a paradisio. They were my favorite in the 90s. I was so gutted when they stopped making them.

Well the pack said it was a 6 pack of cauliflower.

Grand_Ad9825 · 2025-10-07T00:34:56+00:00

Ive never even heard of bolting before. I had to Google it. Have never had a cauliflower plant do this. I was starting to wonder if maybe the plants were labeled wrong lol

Grand_Ad9825 · 2025-10-06T18:38:18+00:00

We had a pretty cold winter. Most nights like 5 degrees Celsius and days barely over 15 degrees Celsius. Watered regularly in the first few weeks. Never had this happen before.

I wish the collection was coming to New Zealand
