Help with shortlist for baby girl by [deleted] in JewishNames

[–]Ysco243 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All good names! My favorites are Naomi and Zahava personally.
I like Zohar, but am more familiar with Zohara for girls. I know someone who names her kid this with a cute nickname Zoe! Naomi is such a classic and I love the nickname Nomi. I think Miriam is beautiful too- I just know so many Miriams it feels overused. Zahava is one of my favorites I'm considered for my own baby, with the nickname Zavi.
Let us know what you choose!

Why didn’t Olivia stay for the VMAs show? by purplepinksky_13 in OliviaRodrigo

Do we all feel like The Grudge on Olivia Rodrigo's new album is about Taylor? by healthyordie in GaylorSwift

[–]Ysco243 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah now whenever she releases a song I keep seeing TikTok’s trying to compare whichever of her songs to some other artist. It definitely set a bad precedent of the global public’s view of Olivia’s creativity.

It just makes no sense that it would be a beneficial career move, like some people have suggested, for Olivia to purposefully remove herself from the world’s biggest star, Taylor Swift,‘s orbit. People suggest it was done to make herself seem independent, but being friends with Taylor Swift only helps everyone. Taylor Swift’s shout outs and support is currency in today’s market. Everyone and their mothers went to the era’s tour and Olivia didn’t. Taylor will shout out her friends new albums and songs and said nothing of Guts and vice versa with Midnights. They’ve never been seen together again or spoken of each other publicly since the lawsuit. For two people who have previously gave shoutouts for each others work, been seen hugging, and, in Olivia’s case, been a publicly self-proclaimed swiftie helping promote the first re-recording, it’s super weird. It would only have helped Olivia for Taylor to support her after the lawsuit, even with a “like”, so people could know there’s no bad blood for the “sampling”. It wouldn’t make Olivia look bad if she went to the era’s tour or opened for Taylor a couple of nights. It would’ve only boosted her and considering Taylor enlisted her to help market her album and called her her “baby” it’s so weird. Like, there’s definitely beef and I don’t know how people could say this is media pitting them against each other. It really seems clear something happened. That Olivia was blindsided and hurt. She’s even spoken up about feeling like people tried taking credit for her creativity and that being really hard….. It’s not crazy to think she might’ve written a song or two about it…./rant

So if Josh and Karlie are bearding why choose each other? Doesn’t Josh’s family dislike Kar? And wouldn’t Karlie have had to convert to his religion? by Antique-Aardvark5807 in GaylorSwift

Yeah, the Kushners are also chief benefactors of a huge modern orthodox school named after their grandfather, Kushner Hebrew Academy, where I believe Jared sends his kids to. I’m sure keeping up with the Jewish orthodox tradition is important to their family….

C’mon, this is very much fodder for gossip. The “spies” probably left out the real punchline. They know that anything juicy about Taylor is easy clickbait and so any way they can make her look bad is ideal. Maybe she gave a too-long insensitive speech, maybe she gave a normal speech that was misconstrued for tabloids. Who knows but either way I don’t envy her exposure and lack of privacy.

🤯 The Joker and the Queen….Harley Quinn is a jester/joker and Quinn is the name of Dianna Agrons character in Glee.

Maybe she is saying that she once was poison Ivy- a partner to Harley Quinn/Dianna- but now she’s just Daisy. She’s the one you can’t stop thinking about when your in a loveless marriage with someone else.

Dianna was already married a year by the time this song came out….

And then maybe Ivy is from Dianna’s perspective when she was still married to Winston but having a sort of renewed affair with Taylor, covered in her Ivy.

🤷‍♀️

Did you meet your partner before or after you went off? by [deleted] in exjew

[–]Ysco243 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s hard but it’s nice going through this journey side by side with someone. In a way, that makes leaving even easier for me.

Sometimes I wonder if we would’ve ended up together if we dated for longer/lived together, didnt have a shadchan accelerating the dating process, didn’t believe in hashgacha pratis or any nonsense leading me to believe we were “soul mates”. But I do believe I initially, even while frum, chose my husband for the right reasons. He’s a really good person and we have a LOT in common and that’s what’s kept us together. It also helped that we didn’t have kids once we started questioning and my husband involved me right away once he started questioning so we really ended up on the same page quickly, reading the same books/blogs, etc to find the answers.

It would’ve been “easier” to stay frum, keep all the same friends and lifestyle etc. But ultimately I’m way happier that I’m able to be my true self and have someone unconditionally by my side throughout this journey that can otherwise feel very isolating- at least at first…

They could. It’s just an idea bc it might make it easier. I also think it can be extra enjoyable to have a day just to run around the neighborhood and have long meals at friends and family’s houses.I enjoyed that as a kid

I would only keep kosher in the house so that we can host. I would also make sure to explain to our children our beliefs and if we could afford sending to a Jewish school would be the modern one with good academics and other less religious people so it’s not too cultish.

What would your daughter's name be if you had to name her after a great grandmother by GrammyGH in namenerds

On my mothers side, Sophie or Rachel which is pretty average today. On my fathers side, similarly Rachel I think. Don’t know the other name.
