[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading all the lost titles on here has me thinking what’s up with all these bad name suggestions? Is til Tok giving your ladies these suggestions? I never remember it being this bad during my other pregnancy. [/quote]

I dont understand people's need to crowdsource their kids' names to be completely frank. Adding that there shouldn't be a "bad" name vs "good" name competition anyways. Its kind of tacky especially since it always seems to be the Anglo Saxon Christian names that are on the latter list--- just somehow Peter or Richard/Dick makes it on there, which is another name for penis but its a "good name".

Totally. It's racism and xenophobia. An innocuous name that's not lily white will get tons of "Oh but they'll always be teased or called X or it sounds like an ED medication" but yeah, Peter and Catherine are amazing!!![/quote]

Np. This is not true for Irish nanes.  Despite peiple saying we have an Urish surname dcum hates most Irish names because people won't be able to pronounce them

So it isn't always racism or xenophobia always.  I fund if people state from the very beginning I am Jewish oe Muslim than you don't get that pushback.[/quote]

NP. The thing is, though, is that I (who is not Jewish, Muslim or much Irish) am perfectly capable of pronouncing names from other cultures if I try. Everyone does not have to be named Emma or Luke, I can listen and learn names from other cultures.[/quote]
