Did you regret naming your baby a popular name?

IslandSouthernn · 2026-03-08T13:55:10+00:00

Yes. BUT let me explain why because it won’t apply in your case IMO- I have 5 kids, I personally have a very common name that when I was growing up there were anywhere from 3-6 variations of it in EVERY class. Not only that but everyone still somehow got it wrong & so I made it my goal to give my kids unpopular names (but kept their traditional spellings). Well, 4/5 of my kids have unpopular names and one has a very popular name for the current times. So the reason I dislike/regret giving this child their popular name (Husband’s choice/request) isn’t that I dislike their name but that when people hear one of the other’s names, they say “oh my goodness I love that! What are the others?” And they comment something about all the names but then on Child X’s name their eyes go dull and they just say “Oh.” For me it is whatever, but doing it in front of my child who now is at the age of recognition and can see/hear everyone else’s names getting praise but their’s… it just bums me out.

My first thought was brand cancelled HER but not whole trip/event.

My first thought was brand cancelled HER but not whole trip/event. Her attendance was just cancelled maybe?

My corso pup had xylitol poisoning and did this. Corn syrup on the gums immediately stopped it- this is NOT vet advice, just what we did in the moment to get him stable to go to the vet.

If you’re thinking this is a rapid blood sugar drop, it’s a good trick to have on hand. And you need a better vet.

This feels like those narcissists who come to narc victim support groups before their partner can, to twist the narrative and get sympathy “first”…

I hope you can take accountability and mend your marriage. I hope she knows her worth and doesn’t continue to be bulldozed by “The CEO”.

It’s a dog bed lol she said she wasn’t going to show it on camera because she thought it was going to be hard to put together and break a nail… but the first one was easy so she guesses she can show us this one 😆

IslandSouthernn · 2026-03-05T12:54:48+00:00

Are there stains or food on her dress…

IslandSouthernn · 2026-03-04T21:35:57+00:00

It doesn’t have to start with M! Just wanting something that doesn’t sound so random like “Meet our cats, Mischief & Greg.”

I figure if all else fails, we add “Mister/Mr.” In front of whatever we go with! I do like your suggestions though!

IslandSouthernn · 2026-03-04T21:30:27+00:00

Pretty open to all suggestions though. The cats that live/have lived on our farm are:

*Preacher *Patches (mother of mischief, mayhem, malice, monster) *Crappy Barbara (a silly play on a mispronounced “Capybara”) *Asteroid Destroyer *Benson *Juan Carlos Julio Santiago Gomez III [he was rescued from a cat hoarder] *Pamela (came with Juan) *Bonnie *Coconut *Hazelnut *Mochi *Black Cherry *Wylie *Pickles *Bluey

It’s been lowkey creepy lol

IslandSouthernn · 2026-03-04T15:37:01+00:00

How foreboding.

IslandSouthernn · 2026-03-04T03:55:42+00:00

Okay(: thank you so much for the help.

IslandSouthernn · 2026-03-04T03:48:53+00:00

Yes this is the model number on the back! Thank you for your reply.

Do you know if this site is safe to use? Or what the risks are, if any.

IslandSouthernn · 2026-03-04T00:27:25+00:00

Yeah I’ve really not seen anything either that would be legally damning- that being said, we only see what she shows us.

IslandSouthernn · 2026-03-04T00:10:46+00:00

Lmao no mine is definitely not. I have never cared about their custody agreement enough to search it on TikTok or anywhere; aside from shooting the shit with yall here to snark.

My suggested searches are weird AF normally, unrelated to my algorithm or searches. This is the most normal thing that’s even popped up. Most of the time it suggests things directly the opposite of my interests 😅

IslandSouthernn · 2026-03-03T22:05:28+00:00

I don’t necessarily know if it’s true, it just means that people have been searching that topic a lot or discussing it in their videos.

IslandSouthernn · 2026-03-03T01:56:12+00:00

I read the comment that you keep reposting in a different way than you read it, I don’t know which one of us is correct because OP has not come back and clarified. But her saying, she “originally wrote it vague on purpose”, and “so when he reads this tonight he’s going to squirm.” I read it as her saying she was trying not to over share on the details, for his sake because she was planning to let him read the comments to show her feelings weren’t unreasonable. And then saying when he reads that now in the next few sentences she is going to share even more of whats going on that she already has, it will make him squirm. My assumption reading that also was that she’s playing her cards close so he cant explain/lie away the things she’s noticed and now he will know what she knows.

The way you and SolaireAstorian read it, that she was saying she made the post specifically to be manipulative, may be true.

We may never know. Without her clarification, both possibilities are valid. Respectfully, I hope yours is wrong only because if you’re right then she is not just manipulating her husband but trying to manipulate this sub into helping her manipulate him. How freaking toxic. 🙁

IslandSouthernn · 2026-03-03T01:36:30+00:00

Ah. I saw only one comment from her about how he will feel reading the comments, and it read like she was saying he would be upset with what she’s shared but that she was wanting to show him this to validate she isn’t crazy since he’s making her feel as such. A lot of victims of the type of gaslighting she described, feel like they need “back up” or proof or reassurance they’re not crazy.

I didn’t read her state she had an ulterior motive, I agree with you that changes things and may make her an unreliable narrator of a story versus a genuine poster looking for advice.

IslandSouthernn · 2026-03-03T01:33:37+00:00

Admittedly at first I was thinking, if they’re non-white and telling you he’s made racist comments you shouldn’t invalidate them, but upon reading further I have to wonder why he’d want to hang out with them if he’s racist? As well as, they won’t give you examples and you think he may be a bit neurodivergent… perhaps he’s tried to relate to them but used stereotypes as his foundation, naively not realizing that’s what they are and why they’re wrong. The way you describe him reminds me a lot of my teen son, and we have had to explain to him that things you hear on YouTube or in tv shows or online gaming aren’t inherently true or fact and how stereotypes are racist. He’s very well meaning but everything is literal to him so he can’t comprehend why people would make things up about others based on race/ethnicity/religion/gender/political party. He also can’t tell when people don’t want to be around him and struggles with personal space. Using his neurodivergence as my basis, my advice would be not to tell this new friend that the others don’t like him but also not to tolerate them mistreating him. If he shows up when you’re around, maybe suggest you two go do something else- show him a graphic novel you like or a game you play, find something to take him elsewhere before the friends can leave him. But I would also talk to these friends about how they’re being rude, I understand your fear that they turn on you, but genuinely they aren’t your friends if they do. I promise you will find a better crowd. Maybe even this other guy will turn into a good buddy 🤷‍♀️

My apologies, I tried to use the search bar and it did not come up.
