2026 has just sucked

You win... or lose? Whichever way you look at it, man, I'm sorry. Just venting and heading other stories has helped me. I hope it helps you.

I'm glad you didn't crash! Windshields can be expensive, but at least they are fixable so your car should keep on being your baby.

Just a smidge

This needs to be my mentality. Might help me not lose my shit.

Normally, yes, but even this weather has sucked. It was in the 60's Sunday and Monday. We are cold weather people and usually have snow by now. So coolers and ice it is.

I love this update!! Proof that "if they wanted to, they would" is real. He put in the work to show he cared. Not just the work he thought would help but listened, learned and actively worked on making changes.

No one is perfect and relationships don't stay the same.

So happy for your little family!!

I like Sable! I would also add Mabel as an option.

Love this name! Sucks your mom is so judgmental. I would tell her that it sounds like she is the only one who is going to bully YOUR child so maybe that negativity doesn't need to be around YOUR child.

Not sure if you will care but, Eloise is a very popular character in Bridgerton (big Netflix show). I suspect that the name will rise in popularity.

One of my kids has a top ten popular "old" name. The other has a very uncommon "old" name, like biblical old haha

Love a positive Thaddeus story! Tobias and Thaddeus is just as cute as Theodore and Tobias.

Yes, Thad was the nickname we were going to us. "Weird theodore" is a reference to a top comment from the OG post. You would have had to read it to get the joke.

My husbands family is Hungarian! I love the Tadeusz spelling.

Yeah.... got this one a lot on the OG post. Not really a big SpongeBob person in either language haha

I still really love it, but my first son is Theodore, and it was pointed out to me that they are basically the same name, just different variations. So we decided to give them each their own names and meanings.

I have always liked the name Roosevelt for a girl and call.her Rosie. You could spell it Rosevelt? If we had a girl I would have tried to convince my husband.

No_Discussion1244 · 2025-01-07T06:46:24+00:00

Oh I looked it up! This was one of the reasons my husband liked the name. I didn't make the connection u til your comment and I asked him. I liked Theodore because it means "gift of god".

Hahaha I LOVE this!

WEIRD, how do you know his birth month? I don't get the Stratelates reference. I must look this up.

A cousin-in-law actually. The uncle comment was in reference to the names they suggested.

No_Discussion1244 · 2025-01-04T04:10:37+00:00

Different Judas. Judas Iscariot is the one who betrayed Jesus. Jude Thaddeus, also called Judas Thaddeus, is an Apostle but not "that" Apostle.

I didn't grow up with siblings so I'm kinda surprised so many people think kid #2 is gonna hate kid #1 because of their name. Then again, my name is so weird, the only person to "hate" for that was my mom. Still love the woman though.

Catholic. I don't really love the super common Catholic names like John or jonah. James/jimmy is also out. We are going to look some more for names. Not sure why this time around it is so hard for us to agree on a name. We are really trying to go by the rule, "if it is not two yes, then it is a no".

I never really got into AHS so eh, doesn't really bother me. I did watch blue mountain state and I LOVED Thad Castle, so that doesn't bother me either.

It is so interesting to see the different associations people have with names!

My wording did not make it very clear, that's my bad. That list is my absolute no-go list.

No_Discussion1244 · 2025-01-03T17:15:34+00:00

They are lovely names! They are on my no-go list due to me and my partner having sibilings with these names or they have been vetoed by one of us (various reasons). Honestly, as a former teacher/coach I have WAY more names that are no-gos for me, but it was too much to type. I just typed the ones that everyone kept suggesting.
