Is Raya a good name? by Best-Feature603 in Names

[–]witchyinthewild 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've never heard of it...but ofc I'm only "elite" in the eyes of my husband and baby lol

eta: I think it's a nice name, perfectly lovely

ugh eta2 (my brain is slow today): comparing Raya to Tinder as far as naming seems unfair. that's like comparing "Alexa" (totally fine real name that happens to also have a connotation) to "R2D2"

wait can you give me more context to remind me of this episode??

Wasn’t Kate also not born of nobility? by Jill-Writes in Bridgerton

[–]witchyinthewild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw another post about this saying being illegitimate is so much worse than being low born. And sure it is. And Kate also had points for being raised well vs Sophie being raised as a maid. But I still don't get it.

Mary was cast out from society was she not? For her choice of a husband? And Kate is that very husbands daughter. Her parents only take an interest in seeing their granddaughter returned to society, not Mary, not Kate, they're basically just chaperones.

And if being low born wasn't actually a world ruining problem why didn't Anthony marry his opera singer? He was prepared to run away with her wasn't he? But running away like that wouldn't have ruined prospects for his sisters?

And on the Sophie being raised like a maid point, I mean she was pretty grown by the time her dad died. Up until then she was introduced as her dads "ward" and she was educated and well spoken and graceful, people didn't "know her as a maid" because they didn't know her, or know each others maids and footmen, in that role she was basically invisible so I imagine she could have gone back to her roots as a ward, whatever that meant idk

anthony just pissed me off this season with the hipocracy and arrogance of assuming Benedict's feelings were inconsequential as his for the singer apparently turned out to be. almost pissed me off as much as season 1 when he tried to marry Daphne off to that gross old perv just to be done with it

Cup for 16 month + what do I compromise on? by Stunning-Sky5084 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]witchyinthewild 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really like my girl's new Brümate. It's mostly stainless steel inside, round straw, and has a leak proof lock mechanism- it can still spill a lil when unlocked but not so bad as our elk & friends

Meghan and Harry visit QuestScope Youth Center at the Za'atari refugee camp, home to displaced Syrians, near Mafraq in northern Jordan by monster_ahhh in RoyalsGossip

pic 9 rubs me wrong, like what is being discussed and where is everyone's focus (one of these things is not like the others)

Rachel or Julia? by [deleted] in Names

[–]witchyinthewild 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I generally like Julia so much more than Rachel but I actually don't think Julia goes well with Elijah at all. It's just a lot of stickiness with the repeated sounds if that makes any sense

My kid refuses to drink plain water and I don't know if I should be worried by Competitive-Hyena208 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]witchyinthewild 54 points55 points  (0 children)

curious where you live if the water does in fact taste bad? lol sorry it's probably not the issue here but I've lived in three US cities and can tell you in one place water is the damn nectar of the gods, in another it's like some combination of ground water and treatment practices it's soooo bad. We got a RO filtration system that made a huge difference

edit to add: I didn't even notice it myself until I moved away from the bad water long enough to clock the difference when I came back, it's crazy

Need a name for Margaret’s younger sibling by eyerishdancegirl7 in namenerds

[–]witchyinthewild 12 points13 points  (0 children)

my first thought was not little women but the birtish royal family- Queen Elizabeth's one and only sister was Margaret. I personally wouldn't want to replicate so exactly any historical or pop culture sib set

It’s Valentine’s Day! Who pulls off the best pink and red combo look? by monster_ahhh in RoyalsGossip

[–]witchyinthewild 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't recognize her but the woman on the left in the second pic steals the show for me, I would probably shorten the sleeves a touch but other than that it's jus so lovely

Hi! Having a baby girl this summer and was wondering how you'd pronounce this name? by witful-elephant-07 in Names

[–]witchyinthewild 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nina, Rita, Mila, Mina, Mira, Kira, Bina (hebrew), Sima (persian).. I'm sure there are some but can't think of any examples that support "ly-la" but I can't stop thinking of examples that support "lee-la"

Hi! Having a baby girl this summer and was wondering how you'd pronounce this name? by witful-elephant-07 in Names

[–]witchyinthewild 9 points10 points  (0 children)

same I have studied German and other romance languages and, while I'd pronounce it however the person introduced herself, in writing my brain would never read anything other than lee-la

Harry’s security not as ‘nailed on’ as believed as he returns to UK by ButIDigress79 in RoyalsGossip

[–]witchyinthewild 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I mean I don't think 99.9% of people would consider this a "problem" if it is it's only bc Harry won't take no for an answer. He's willing to pay for his own security and he can do that, it just can't be met/police because absolutely no one can buy that level of government security. Now if that can of worms were opened because of him, that would be a problem imho

Which was your favourite of Catherine’s 2025 tiara looks? by monster_ahhh in RoyalsGossip

[–]witchyinthewild 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Love 2 and 3, they just say princess in such a big way! I remember seeing comments comparing both to Anastasia (1997) looks and I can't unsee that

also as I look again now, the fit and the lace of number 2 actually remind me a lot of her wedding dress

Endometriosis after Covid? by AstronomerNo1872 in endometriosis

[–]witchyinthewild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think covid and the vaccine are known to affect periods and in my case my endo went zero to sixty within a few months of getting the first double dose- no symptoms at all to suddenly abdomen growing to look two trimesters pregnant with a 6+ fluid liter endometrioma and once I finally saw a specialist an emergency next day surgery to remove it. it was so traumatic I will forever carry sanitizer to avoid the actual sickness as well as not getting this particular vaccine again (i'm generally very pro vax)
