Dang, that's harsh |
I'd advise a Safe Circle, where you and your daughter hold hands and explain how the other has made you feel. The other perspectives could be really needed, and doing Safe Circles has 100% changed my relationship with my teen daughter for the better. |
Ok. Well we are getting way off topic but i actually used to BE a stripper and I never worked with anyone named cherry, cinnamon or peppermint. Lots of girls chose “regular” names and then there were a lot of fancy car names (Lexus, Mercedes). Oh and don’t forget your “fake” real name for when the customer tells you he’s “not like other guys” and demands your “real” name before spending any money. Ah, memories. |
I'm also a former stripper and this comment is making me nostalgic! I remember my fake "real name" was "Jennifer", LOL. OP, listen to your kid |
So the chances of 2 former strippers posting right after each other has to be like 1/10000000000000 right? |
No actually we are everywhere. But like ninjas, you never know who we are or how many of us there are. ![]() |
Not really. A lot of people are strippers or have been at some point, but you don't find out because they're discreet about it to avoid getting shamed. I'm not a former or current stripper but I have a lot of friends who are/were. Anyway. Back to OP's post. Cherry. Cherry Cherry banana fanna fo ferry me mi mo merry Cherry. Uhh. It's not great but much, much better than Sharon. Agree with the person who suggested Essie, suggest that to her. If she doesn't like it and keeps Cherry, your fault for naming her Sharon. You made the bed, you can lie in it. Cherry's not [/i]that[i] bad. |
PP here. IDK why the italics didn't work f*ck |
Maybe she just a big fan of the lana del rey song |
Only one Cherry can pull off the name: Cherry Valance. |
I’m laughing at this. Like, is this your first day as a parent?
If my kid asked me to call her Cherry I would lean into it so hard. There’s only one answer in situations like this . You say yes, it’s brilliant my cherry pie! Be sure to call out “I love you cherry blossom” as she leaves the house. Tell her she’s the cherry on top of a sundae. 🍒 She’d be begging me to go back to her given name by dinner time. For teens, there’s nothing lamer than something your mom thinks is the height of cool. This really needs to be explained to you? |
You don't draw on Cherry Valance. He might have a sissy name, and look like a young cowboy, but it's a trap. |
In the early 90s (when I was in 6th grade) there was a first grader who went by Buttercup. I never knew her real name. She’d begged her parents to change her name to Buttercup and, supposedly, they told her if she lived as Buttercup for two years - teachers, coaches, friends, everyone used that name - they’d let her get it changed! I don’t know what ended up happening but it did make me smile that the parents at least allowed her to live as Buttercup. Cherry seems like a reasonable nickname for Sharon and I’d let your child use that name. |
Did she get it from the princess bride?? |
Nothing wrong with Sharon, or Cherry.
No big deal. |
