[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm missing what's mean about this thread.  I don't care if anyone dislikes the name I choose for my kid.  [/quote]
It's a mean thread because it's just pointless criticism that serve no purpose other than to make people feel bad.  Just because you and I are too strong to care what other people think about our kids' names doesn't make the thread less mean -- it just means we're immune to this particular brand of nastiness.  As an analogy, if I start calling random posters "bitch", that's a mean thing to do.  The fact that I don't know them, and they don't care what I think, doesn't make it any less mean of me to call people names.

I'm not trying to argue with you.  And I agree it's silly to get worked up about what some idiot thinks about my child's name.  But I still think those people are being mean.[/quote]

I 100% agree!  It is a personal preference thing.  I like traditional names so I am never going to like modern, made-up, etc. names.  I know there are friends that probably loathe the names we have chosen for our children.  There are names friends of ours have chosen that would not be something I'd ever consider for my own kids.  I don't judge them based on this.  Unfortunately, society does judge names....something along the lines of 'name your kids somethign that will look good on a business card'..this was my traditional-loving mother said.  Of course, not every child aspires to a traditional job.  Lady Gaga, Madonna, etc...they can change it when they're older.[/quote]
