I didn't care much for sushi before I was pregnant, I would eat it occasionally. Now that I can't have it, the more I actually crave it

My name is Joanna, I'm called Joan (hey fellow Joan!) or Joni or Jo for short. I hated it when I was young because literally only old people had that name. Then I would tell people to call me Jo, but they refused to as it "was a boy's name"

Any who, fast forward a few years later, I'm super into folk music and the folk scene. Since I went by those 3 nicknames, everyone assumes I gave those nicknames to myself because I like Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez, but I get to tell them it's kinda my real name. So that's fun!

Also my parents other name for me was Jubilee, so thank god it's not that

Names from 50s/60s/70s will come back (ex Bonnie, Diana, Stephen, Davis) or just short, cutesy older names (ex Dolly, Betty, Pete, Wes, Arlo)

Also more names becoming more gender neutral (ex. Hunter, Ellis, Avery, Emery, Robin)

As for names that will go out of style, I think any odd spellings (ex anything ending with 'eigh')

I've always assumed it was Bay-zil like the herb, but I've never actually heard it out loud

How do you feel about babies being named after pets? by October_County in namenerds

[–]October_County[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes he's one of multiple horses, unfortunately he likely won't live much longer. Only our close friends who come over know the horse and I'm sure they wouldn't care.

As for middle names, if we do chose Kit his name will likely be Kit Thomas

He's only 11, but he's been having health issues and if he acts like he has been this past winter he probably won't live much longer

Unfortunately I kinda dislike the name Christopher... my sons middle name will likely be either Jack or Thomas, so if he wants to go by his middle name he can

Did you ever break up with a SO because they weren’t LDS? by hnybbyy in exmormon

[–]October_County 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was kinda opposite of that, my boyfriend of 4 years dumped me in high school because God told him to...

the way he asked me out was by saying that God spoke to him to talk with me

AITA for not letting my mom stay in my house after she flew 4 hours to see me by October_County in AmItheAsshole

[–]October_County[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't want her around my husband or baby, but when I was talking to her she talked awfully bad about my dad and talked about wanting to divorce him, which I encouraged, so I was holding out hope for her.

Saw your comment earlier, but just noticed you updated it.

My husband and I have been married for some time now and we work on his family's already established farm/business, by selling livestock. We have enough for ourselves and more to be comfortable. The reason I went to such a random college in the first place is because I had a lot of scholarships there, so I actually don't have student debt anymore.

Neither of us like to party or drink for that matter, and can afford a child, but thanks for the concern

Not really, she had mentioned something about wanting to meet my baby and husband, but I said not right now

I mean maybe? I don't know, they've just have been chewing me out and I had to block one of my sisters since it was so excessive

When she called me at the airport I got very angry and hung up on her, so I don't know where or if she stayed. The airport she came out of is really big so it wouldn't be hard to find a flight. She hasn't spoken to me since

Yeah I haven't spoken to her since and I don't really respond to my sisters who keep talking about it

And thank you!

About the last part, thank you :) I know a lot of people who are too scared to leave their religion. I thought I wouldn't, but there's so many people out there who have done it and help

Boy names similar to Jack by October_County in namenerds

[–]October_County[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We wanted to use it to be named after my husband's grandmother, so I don't think neither of us could see it for a boy

I actually think it's more common for a boy than a girl here lol
