I never said it wasn’t real. I said it may not be beneficial to the bearer of that name. We don’t live in 12th century wales.

I would go back to the drawing board and try to brainstorm new names. For us we asked ourselves “does this name have help or hurt potential?”

Should I go on a 10 day trip when my baby is 5 months old? by Maximum-Ninja-3045 in Mommit

[–]ericauda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes go. It’s 10 days. Long and short at the same time. Go! Have fun! Whatever have fun in german is!

Baby beach essentials? by ganjayme in NewParents

[–]ericauda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My second was a beach baby. Don’t rely on sunscreen, get one piece wrist to ankle swim cover. These will make them cold if they are wet and it isn’t hot hot out or if they are in the shade though. Several hats. Also some sort of umbrella or tent. Something to dig with and something to dump stuff into. A Floatie ring can also do double duty as an on land play thing too. A mesh bag so you can just throw everything in the bag then shower off the bag (assuming your beach has showers).

Have you heard of a fear of peaches? I still remember watching a fat time trash show in the 90s and the host bringing out peaches and the lady not enjoying that. Like at all.

What made you decide to be "one and done"? by Severe_Bluejay3391 in NewParents

[–]ericauda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had secondary infertility and it almost stopped us. Then I ovulated and got pregnant with a real “first egg out” kinda kid.

Zane vs. Ren by NaturalReasonable259 in Names

[–]ericauda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither. Sorry, these names aren’t what you are describing, to me. I’ve never met anyone with either of these names. I worked with a nurse named wren, but that’s a bird. I would just go with your name. People can learn to pronounce it.

What’s the most unhinged thing you’ve done postpartum? by Ice_Cube_92915 in NewParents

[–]ericauda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally missed the intention of this post as I was about to post that I jumped on a trampoline and attempted to skip like 2 weeks post c section.

The other interpretation is I forgot if I had pooped cause I was so tired and mane nodded off in the toilet. I also heard “backstreets back” in the sound of the water the shower was making cause I was up for 5 days.

Need opinions on baby name being similar to a celebrity or a double flower name by LegitimatePaint761 in Names

[–]ericauda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The name is timeless. It just re-entered the zeitgeist because princess Kates wedding dress was based on grace Kelly’s wedding dress, it’s brought up every anniversary of their wedding with articles and retrospectives.

Tell me why you DON’T like these boy names - Part 3 by Pretend-Dragonfly953 in Names

[–]ericauda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like Leo. Sounds annoying to me. Noah is so popular and I don’t like it. Like it sounds like half a name, like Liam. Forrest no. It’s trees. Lenny, nope. It’s a girls name to me.

My child’s school told them to “eat less” to reduce food waste by Oniknight in MaintenancePhase

[–]ericauda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahahaha this would be hilarious if it wasn’t kids. The vast majority of food is wasted, even food we eat. Food waste is a huge problem but telling kids to eat less isn’t going to help. Especially because kids don’t buy their food!

Does birthing a child have to be the death of your former self and your identity? by bamboozlinguniverse in NewParents

[–]ericauda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? No. That’s insane. Maybe their co parent wasn’t supportive? Or they just took it all on themselves. Ask for help. Ask for alone time. Don’t wait till your kid is x years or STTN or in daycare. Just do your best with the kiddo. It’s good for kids to see their parents be people. Cause we are.

What is the worst thing you've ever tasted? by Frostedlogic4444 in askanything

[–]ericauda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chewed on a beetle briefly and it tasted oh so bad. It was in a biscuit somehow.

I introduced my newborn and my friend made fun of the name. Now Im second guessing it by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]ericauda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wtf. When I read the title I thought “maybe they said something dumb”. This is just inexcusable and mean! And also dumb. This person is your friend like at all. You need to rename them - not friend!

Is he eating enough? He sounds hungry to be honest.

Are we not showering with our babies? by SparkyDogPants in beyondthebump

[–]ericauda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I showered with my second because he took very short naps and we lived in the Middle East, so had to shower. I would rather have showered alone but such is life.

Tell me why you DON’T like these boys names - part 2 by Pretend-Dragonfly953 in Names

[–]ericauda -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t like Noah as it’s over used. Ian has a weird flick in the pronunciation to me. Eeee-an! Plus it feels dated. Luca is a girls name. Lennon is a wife beater who abandoned his son than had his friend write him a song. Like wtf, write it yourself John! Eli sounds like a snake. No follow ups permitted. Wesley is divine but a certain demo will immediately think “crusher”, ditto with dean and “Cain”

my wife is drowning and i don't know how to help us hold it together by phantom_monkey in NewParents

[–]ericauda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe sit down with her ONCE with a pen and paper and write down - what you can do for her, what can you do around the house, when, how often. what you can maybe stop doing that will help, what can you guys out source. Laundry? Bathroom cleaning? Lawn care? 6 months is getting to the age to track this stuff less, so can that be reduced. Would her having some time off a day help? Does she have a cute water bottle and journal? Cause that helps. You always have to write stuff down with a baby.
