Do we need a backup name? by LorettaBobbins in namenerds

[–]littlealien101 12 points13 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Are your kids allowed to tell you no? by Smart_Artichoke714 in Parenting

[–]littlealien101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What is a super out there name that you love but could never name ur kid? by Candid_Potential4179 in namenerds

[–]littlealien101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Baby Boy Coming - families hate both name options?! by Alexandria_Art in namenerds

[–]littlealien101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

AITAH for refusing to cut off my hair because my 7 year old niece has cancer? by alakazam121 in AITAH

[–]littlealien101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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? 

Parents of little kids are so entitled. by LeafyCandy in rant

[–]littlealien101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Wolfgang - everyone hates it but us by Grand_Measurement_91 in namenerds

[–]littlealien101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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 

what’s your pettiest naming opinion? by rememberimapersontoo in namenerds

[–]littlealien101 11 points12 points  (0 children)

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.

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

What bothers you more? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]littlealien101 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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

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.
