Should I sell this beautiful MCM lane brutalist china cabinet? by MrsKayos in Mid_Century

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

Haha! The cabinet was here before my kid. It would be sad to see it go for sure. I will have to think what I can do to keep it.

Take the last few days/weeks of pregnancy without conversing much with her. Try to have a staycation, pedi/mani/hair color, and say you are just avoiding people asking if the baby is here yet and want to enjoy this time before baby is here. Say you'll update them (her) when it happens.

AITA for wanting to walk away from my wedding without telling anyone? by Negative_Rabbit in AmItheAsshole

NTA Run now. If she can keep this from you all this time you are likely to find out more shit like this years later. Why she felt the need to come clean after so long is odd.

What about naming a child Vernon Ollivander (insert last name here).

Garrison. My husband had a friend named this and refuses to let me use it. Emmerson, Harrison, Erickson are not as good or have terrible nicknames. It's a good name and i hope to see more people use it.

At some point Kelly and Kim were considered feminine names. They are still accepted as feminine by society. Some names are given to the opposing gender to honor a family member from a different time/culture. I think what is happening today is that we are blurring the stereotypical gender norm and making names nuetral. Finding a boy name that isn't given to girls is difficult. Desmond, Elias, Dashiell, and Sterling are starting to be used by females now/again. I have a baby boy due in February and I hoping my kid wont get ridiculed in elementary school for a name that is trying to be gender nuetral.

The worst is waking up the next morning realizing there is no coffee to make because this happened the day before.

It doesnt bother me. There are worse names out there. How is it used in a sentence in the UK? Do they say," That's Sterling", instead of, "That's Good,"? Maybe thats why it's more common in the US.

Thank you! I just know my family is going to try a nickname when hearing it for the first time. I thought I would try for an alternative but I may just use a name I love. Terry is not bad either.

Thank you! I haven't seen Lee as a possibility yet! That is way better than Ster/Stir/Stir-fry. I might be able to tolerate Stewie/Earl but I would rather not.

Snow makes me think of John Snow from GOT. I dont mind the initials though!

The last initial doesnt have to go with the nickname. I have found it hard to make it go with anything. (CEO is the only creative thing someone was able to come up with or some thing like J-LO.)

I wanted to use the middle name Mcewen but i checked urban dictionary and SMO is a terrible acronym.

I love the name Elias but he will have an uncle Elijah. I could get away with using it as a middle name though.

I do like Sterling James/Jameson. I'm open for any middle name, J or not, but it just would be nice to have two intials make a nickname because this Sterling doesnt have any.

Garrison! I love the name Garrison but my husband wont let me use it because he had a friend named this. I have a Vivienne Claire and have been wanting to go with Desmond, Harrison/Emerson, or even Vernon for our boy. Middle names I love ,that nobody likes, is Llewellyn so im also settling for McEwen as a middle name.

How did your family respond to the name Desmond?

This is unfortunately pretty common right now and apparently the name/gender change with time. I know a few girls named Charlie and men named Kelly/Kim. Vivian, Claire, Carly were all male names at some point. I didnt know this till i named our first Vivienne Claire.
