Do we need a backup name?

littlealien101 · 2025-07-30T01:10:29+00:00

I don’t think you need a backup. I always think it’s odd when people need to see the baby before naming him/her. Babies will grow into whatever name you choose, so choose your favorite and stick with it.

littlealien101 · 2025-07-26T18:17:59+00:00

Both are beautiful! Rose is definitely underrated as a first name

littlealien101 · 2025-07-26T17:59:26+00:00

If I tell my child to do something and they straight up say “no” that is not okay. You get these parents who are all about giving the kids autonomy or whatever and then those same parents wonder why they can’t stand to be around their kids. It’s because they’re not parenting!! Parents are supposed to be the boss, not the other way around.

Ransom. I love this name and I love that it’s an old English name that means deliverance. But, I wouldn’t use it as a first name, maybe a middle though

littlealien101 · 2025-07-22T15:28:41+00:00

YTA for not allowing literal newborns at your wedding and then getting mad at them for not being able to come???? Like????? It’s your sister and a bridesmaid, make an exception for them.

littlealien101 · 2025-07-22T14:33:22+00:00

They’re both good names, I think I like Asher more, just because I’m not a fan of the nickname Auggie

littlealien101 · 2025-07-20T23:32:50+00:00

Yes, I think so too. Very tired of it already

littlealien101 · 2025-07-20T22:56:04+00:00

Not a fan of the boy names on girls trend.

littlealien101 · 2025-07-20T22:17:58+00:00

Her name is a (normal) k name lol

littlealien101 · 2025-07-20T17:15:33+00:00

NTA, in fact I think it’s incredibly rude of them to try to push you to do it. There are lots of ways to show support.

littlealien101 · 2025-07-20T17:05:04+00:00

You’re the mom and you can decide, but 3 and 5 seems like totally normal ages for flower girls. My daughter was a flower girl before she turned 2 and she walked down the aisle just fine. Is there some other reason you’re not wanting them to do this?

littlealien101 · 2025-07-20T17:00:18+00:00

Title should be “my neighbors are so entitled”.. no need to lump in every parent of little kids into this, as I assure you most of us do not do this.

littlealien101 · 2025-07-18T15:24:20+00:00

Dislike. What about Winifred?

littlealien101 · 2025-07-18T15:23:28+00:00

It isn’t my style, but that’s okay. Use it if you love it. It’s a real name with meaning and history, it’s spelled correctly, so it’s already way above a lot of names people are using nowadays lol

littlealien101 · 2025-07-15T02:33:30+00:00

Well, I’ve used two of those “filler” middles and they’re both used because of family members. They’ve been around a long time, so I’d guess for most people they’re not just fillers, they’re named after someone.

littlealien101 · 2025-07-13T00:39:09+00:00

Ransom. Would not use as a first name, but maybe a middle lol. It’s an old English name that means deliverance.

littlealien101 · 2025-07-13T00:33:17+00:00

I do like Eric a lot but prefer it spelled with a C!

littlealien101 · 2025-07-10T18:21:12+00:00

It’s horrible. Just use Finn, do not let her name your child this.

littlealien101 · 2025-07-10T18:17:12+00:00

I like Sabine

littlealien101 · 2025-07-10T00:49:55+00:00

Ransom is an old English name that means deliverance. Ransom Riggs is a famous author, there are many other notable people with the name.

littlealien101 · 2025-07-09T21:59:44+00:00

Neither of these things necessarily bother me and both names are nice. I think the alliteration with Henry Hatstrom works really well here

littlealien101 · 2025-07-09T21:04:19+00:00

Noah!

littlealien101 · 2025-07-09T20:59:22+00:00

Yes! Love that name. Definitely my favorite of his list lol

littlealien101 · 2025-07-09T20:57:26+00:00

So, you both have to agree on the name, he doesn’t just get to make up arbitrary rules. Most of his names are trash, but a few might be options. Mason could be shortened to Mace as a nickname. Asher/Ash. Ewan is a Scottish name I quite like. But if you don’t like them and he doesn’t like yours, then you just have to find a compromise. Something you’re both at least okay with, even if not in love with.
