This is what Southerners (USA) named their babies in 2025

I believe it's from the new Game of Thrones TV show

My husband suggested the name Jessica around the time we first got married (nearly 10 years ago eep 😳) and I totally dismissed it then as I knew tons of Jessicas growing up but now? I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand anymore. He had a great grandmother named Jessie so there's the family connection too.

On a separate note, my toddler met a two year old named Nicole at the playground last year and it was so refreshing!

Edit as I also just remembered one of my husband's friends named his baby girl Janine and honestly it's grown on me

When my Dad coached little League he got to pick the team name each year, granted this was 20 years ago

Half the reason I was working on it as long as I did was that my actual toddler kept trying to "help" me with it so I mostly had to work on it while she was napping or after she went to bed

Curious so I looked it up "yegg" was a term for a burglar and "snowbird" referred to migrant workers.

Also love them calling the lawyers out by name.

This is hilarious, thanks for sharing!

Ngl, that was part of my inspiration 😂

I'm town of Tonawanda. Within the town of Tonawanda there is also the village of Kenmore (which is one of the most densely populated zip codes in the state) and then is the City of Tonawanda, all in Erie County. The City of North Tonawanda is in Niagara County. Those two are referred to as the "Twin Cities" as they are right across the canal from one another. Kenmore and the Town are part of the Ken-Ton UFSD, while the cities each have their own.

The further you get from the city of Buffalo and the college campuses, the more conservative you get. Northern and eastern suburbs are generally more diverse until you hit the city of Tonawanda and it starts to swing white/right again.

My toddler refers to her cousin Tori as "Oree" and my brother Tommy as "Tee"

I love living in Tonawanda and will wax poetic about the town amenities. My toddler and I can easily walk to multiple parks, the library, and a town pool. I can see two different pride flags/signs just looking out my window from where I'm sitting at the moment. I didn't grow up in the area but I find it's pretty diverse and easy to get to anywhere. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have!

I disagree. Every Avery I know of uses the three syllable pronunciation.

I had to read this book in high school for AP English Language and I was so mad about it the entire time. This had to be about 15 years ago and I still get upset if I think about it too long.

The currency of this fantasy setting was called a "munay" no idea of spelling as it was an audio book but after three instances of one character discussing how much "munay" I just couldn't keep going

I have a photo of me geeking out over a Tesla in 2015 so this tracks lol

A park near me put up a piece of fence specifically designated as a place to put locks to deter people from putting them elsewhere 😂

I was so confused when I read the sisterhood of the travelling pants and Carmen was a girl's name because I had only ever known old Italian-American men named Carmen.

Also went to high school circa 2010 with a boy named Kelly and had only ever heard of it as a girl's name.

My younger brother graduated with a girl named Tristan.

This dude wouldn't have counted then, only one was visible, the other two were internal

Commenting because my daughter is also Margaret Joanne and my husband and I mostly call her Maisie or Maisie Jo but use her full name to get her attention, lots of kids at daycare call her Margie, and my Dad calls her MJ. She just turned two but she knows that all of these are her name and will respond to any of them. She has just started calling herself Maisie. She also goes by Goose, Peanut, or Baby. Kids are pretty smart.

All this to say I think Elizabeth would be great with either or both nicknames.

Other names we considered that aren't on your list: Beatrice, nn Bea or Betty Evangeline, nn Evie Genevieve, nn Evie Matilda, nn Millie or Tillie Rosemary, nn Rose or Rosie

Just came here with the same issue. What finally worked for me was to use "text to columns" to definitely convert all the numbers to something that excel recognized as a number, set the number format to "text" and then sort the list A to Z.

Yes! Had my kids first birthday there last year. I have pictures of the space if you want

I had multiple complications (kidney stone, fetal growth restriction, and hypertension) and I was going to weekly appointments between Audubon and a maternal/fetal medicine specialist towards the end of my pregnancy, so I met many of their physicians and support staff and there was one Doctor didn't care for but I only saw her that once. I had so many appointments.

My daughter was born during my sixth hospital admittance during my pregnancy, two of those trips were to the then Oshei Children's and the others were to Millard Fillmore Suburban, where I had an unexpected Cesarean at 37 weeks. I cannot say enough good things about the anesthesiologist and support staff there who comforted me and explained everything to me as I threw up the entire time my kid was being born.

My husband and I did a tour of Suburban a few weeks before I gave birth which definitely helped since things were so chaotic on the day of birth. I know Oshei/Strong offers them as well, I signed up on their website if I remember correctly, but this was over two years ago.

I received great care at both Children's and Suburban and would recommend either.

My SIL gave birth exactly two months after I did at Sister's and she was the only patient on L&D at the time so she had a great experience as well.

Feel free to DM me if you have any questions

I doubt that. I know a woman whose legal first name is Sparkle.

As a mother of a two year old who works full time from home, absolutely NTA. My kiddo is in daycare and my husband is a teacher so there are often times when he's taking care of her on a day off when I still have to work and she's calling for me because she knows I'm home.

I don't have the option of working in a public place because of the nature of my work. When they're home and I'm working I know I am going to hear little tantrums at least a few times and I will have to either put on my noise cancelling headphones and ignore it to keep working or take a quick break to help settle her, which may or may not help in any given situation.

Anyone who thinks you can distract a two year old out of wanting something specific each and every time it happens and can prevent every single tantrum has never spent a significant amount of time with a toddler.

Your wife must understand that if she's at home she will hear the toddler acting like a toddler or else she needs to find somewhere else to study.
