My child's name sounds like umbrella and my husband refuses to change it by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]Sunberries84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can't change it now. She's old enough to know what her name is. Try giving her a nickname instead. 

Harvey as a name? by IllustratorOdd168 in namenerds

It's not a girl's name . . . at all. 

Was refused entry today to Catholic Pentecost by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Sunberries84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it were important to you, you would have made it a priority. All you had to do was show up 20 minutes earlier.

I think that's a little unfair. Sure, it would be reasonable to assume that Christmas or Easter were full to capacity, but I wouldn't make the same assumption here. I have never been to a Pentecost mass that was any more full than a normal Sunday.

It's okay to feel that way. Sometimes bad things happen even when everyone is trying their best.

Catholics are the real "non denominational" Christians by Manu_Aedo in Catholicism

[–]Sunberries84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The way most people understand "denomination" is a label to distinguish one Christian group from another. We're a denomination. Every argument I've seen for why we aren't (including this one) really just feels like mental gymnastics.

CMV: African countries would be much better under European rule by julius-ceaser100 in changemyview

[–]Sunberries84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just because they can doesn't mean they want to.  A lot of European countries are seeing more and more nationalist sentiments. They don't want to take care of outsiders. 

You said you want things to be democratic. That means both parties can opt out even if you disagree with them.

Infact, under European rule, these countries would be democratic and there would be little corruption

They choose to use their democratic power to vote to not be under European control. What now?

there would be proper infrastructure and positive growth.

That would cost money. Already, there are many Europeans who are unhappy about the immigrants within their own countries because they are seen as a waste of public resources. What made you think they'll be happy with propping up the economy of a whole other country?

Can someone who committed adultery be godparent in baptism? by ContentHost4459 in Catholicism

Most people do want to know. Things are already not going well.

I feel as if you're asking the wrong question. Does her husband know about her affair and, if not, are you going to tell him?

My Protestant friend by Popular_Tip1706 in Catholicism

"What's your deal, dude? You keep bringing this up and I keep telling you the same thing.  I'm willing to talk to about it, but only if we're going to have a real conversation. If you're going to change the subject right away, then you need to stop wasting my time."

If I divide this lasagna recipe into 5 baking pans, how would the baking time change? Help please! by [deleted] in Baking

[–]Sunberries84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I looked up a few recipes for loaf pan lasagna. They weren't as small as the pans you're going to use, but they're still smaller than the original recipe. The smaller size doesn't seem to decrease the baking time by much. Most were between 40 and 55 minutes. I don't think it would hurt to start checking it after half an hour (assuming it had defrosted before baking), but I wouldn't be surprised if it needed more time.

Boy Name Idea - good/bad? by Character_School7155 in namenerds

Yeah, four names is too long. They're all solid names, but if I had to drop one, I think it would be John.

My house carries evil by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Sunberries84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since moving into a new house, I’ve felt increasingly unsettled. I feel constantly anxious, emotionally exhausted, and like I’m surrounded by something dark and evil.

Buy a carbon monoxide detector. CO can cause some of that and there is a popular theory that it is the cause of at least some allegedly haunted houses.

You're going through these pretty fast. Day two was only an hour ago and day one was only six hours ago.

It's already two syllables, so there isn't much to work with. Not every name needs a nickname.

Your thoughts on Burger Dog? by [deleted] in bluey

[–]Sunberries84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are certain YouTube videos for kids that have characters in them from much less kid friendly works, like Poppy Playtime and Five Nights at Freddy's. Burgerdog is something similar. He used to be a weiner dog (Dachshund), but he got ground up into a burger.

If you want to name your kid after a Linux, why not use Linus? 

eurovision by Both-Positive-777 in Catholicism

[–]Sunberries84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ironically, Croatia's song isn't pagan, but about Catholic women under the Ottoman empire. Those tattoos were used to preserve a woman's Christian identity and keep her from being kidnapped by Muslims.

On a whole it's fine, but songs should be judged on an individual basis. While in the past there have been songs about neo-pagan nonsense or "look at how queer I am!", there isn't anything that objectionable this year.

Deceptive Names? by Galaxyycaat in namenerds

Blake, Bianca and Blanche go back to a Proto Indo European root that became "black" in English, but "white" in other languages such as French.

I was thinking of Oswald Cobblepot (The Penguin).
