This person is correct. The continent IS America. Or North America (there are two schools of thought about whether America is one continent or two). Anyway, the point is that United States is not America. Only people from the United States think that they are America. Frankly, let's just call the United States "World". We're really the only IMPORTANT people in the World anyway, right? |

| Since when are North America and South America the same continent? |

It depends on which model you use. Generally they are viewed as two, but there are models which categorize the earth into only 6 continents: America, Antarctica, Africa, Europe, Asia and Australia. |

| Ok people-Hildegard-good or bad? If I can't use it for a kid, can I use it for a dog or a gerbil? I don't want to insult anybody but Hildegard-it just has such a great bouncy feel to it. Does it mean "guards a hill" in Swedish or "Doesn't Tip" in Swahili? I want a cool name for my kid but I don't want to voodoo up his karma overseas-asking for your input here! |

I like Hildegard. But I posted before. I would soon hate the name Hildegard if I heard you going on and on in the supermarket, patting yourself on the back for your great choice. "Look Hildegarde! Bread!", "Come here Hildegarde! Come stand by mommy Hildegarde!"
If you can be real relaxed about it, let others abbreviate her name to Hildy without freaking out, then I think you have a good bet. |

This is an example of why I find this board so tiresome. This is my kid's name, we are Irish and go to hell. |

How am I going to avoid using the name in a store? Where do you shop?(PS-Hildegard is great, but Hildy?-means "thumb sucker" in Aztec- and we plan to settle in Arizona or New Mexico so this may not work for us) |

How is saying "I don't care for...." that insulting? It isn't as if the word hate was used, or the phrase "I think it is stupid when.....". Perhaps you should apologize, because telling someone to go to hell is pretty ridiculous, especially when it wasn't a remark made directly to you. I have had people tell me to my face that they don't like the names I picked for my children. No skin off my nose, because it wasn't their choice. |

I'm Irish, and I love the name Quinn. It makes me smile - I've known a lot of cute Quinns (I'm from NY)! |

I shop at supermarkets. Just don't go there. Or if you do, just whisper your child's name, so it won't appear like you like your daughter's name too much, which is what annoys me. But if your child has run off down the dairy aisle and you're frightened for her safety, then it's okay to start letting loose with the Hildegards. |

| I have FINALLY found the perfect name! "INOCENSE." It's great! Does it mean innocence? Incensed? No Sense? No one will ever know. A conversation starter for life... |

LOVE it! You have to pledge not to tell the truth EVER about what it means...boy, that would really ruin the mystique! |

| I'm not Irish, but I like Quinn too. My neighbor's baby is Brynn. Pretty. |
