For those of you not married...did you struggle with naming the child?

My BM wants so badly to give the kids "unique" names with no meaning. I, on the other hand, would rather they have names that meaning to theirparents, not friends, cousins and etc. We are having fraternal twin girls (first kids for both of us)

My name is Brian, so I want one of the girls' names to be Brionna. We agreed that we like Simone so one would be Brionna (Bre-Ahn-na) Simone. The spellingis somewhat negotiable.

I have tried to work with her, but I am already seeing BM drama in the making. I have also suggested we both name one. Help me please.

 

[i dont pass]

So basically your BM wants to give your kid one of those "unique" ghetto names?

 

[antbanks81]

Exactly. Some of her requests are Star, Gorgeous and Goddess

 

[wwsindicate]

Brionna

I don't know man, I know of only a few Brianna's or however you wanna spell it, only 1 is NOT a porn star.

You have to realize that everyone wants a unique name for their child, but unique doesn't equate to good. So for your kids sake name her something that shewon't be made fun of in the future.

My daughters name is Aida btw.

 

[antbanks81]

Wu, what is the meaning of Aida?

There is no one name you can name your child to be unique. Unless of course you wanna name them dog/cow *$+%. These Hollywood stars have named their kids Appleand Seven for God's sake.

I have told her exactly what you said that "unique doesn't equate to good." I have told her that these children will have to look for a job inthe future. I told her that no matter how "unique" the name, they still might end up flipping burgers (based off their actions).I have been a managerand seen other managers throw applications in the trash off name alone.

I just feel that the name should mean something. The child will define who they are by their actions, not by their names.

Like Chris Rock said, "my whole purpose is to keep them off a pole."

IDP, this *%#% so real b/c I know it's her say in that hospital room.

We have agreed on Justine and Simone. Her grandma wants Grace (although she didn't make them or will take care of them) and I can get with that. I'masking for one name. The surname really is decided, but they will marry someday I pray and then that's gone.

ATHENA

 

[antbanks81]

what's the meaning Ryda?

 

[joseph camel jr]

why not spell brianna correctly? brionna looks masculine for some reason....

tell her how children with stereotypically "ghetto" names are less likely to be chosen for jobs and tend to be less successful than theirgenerically-named peers.

it's true.

maybe compromise and pick one of those crazy names as a middle name isntead?

op i legit feel bad for you though no way a kid of mine is going through life with some obnoxious name like "gorgeous"

In Greek mythology, Athena (also calledAthene, Attic: Ἀθηνᾶ, Athēnâ orἈθηναία, Athēnaía, Epic:Ἀθηναίη, Athēnaíē, Ionic: Ἀθήνη, Athḗnē, Doric: Ἀθάνα,Athána; Latin: Minerva) is the goddess of wisdom, peace, warfare, strategy, handicrafts and reason, shrewd companion ofheroes and the goddess ofheroic endeavour. She is the virgin patron of Athens, which built the Parthenon to worship her.

 

[kanyewestjayz4life]

Get that point across some how. I'd feel sorry for my daughter if her name was goddess.
It will be even worst if the one you name has a better name then the one your girl names.

Joe, the spelling with "a" is actually my preference. I only changed it an effort to attempt to negotiate. I did tell her that she can call the kidswhatever in the house. A nickname is all her ideas amount to.

Ye, I'm trying my best man. This is just more stress added to a mountain of it. It shouldn't be this way. I try to keep it civil so that my kidsaren't harmed, but this chick make it so difficult. Chris Rock was so on point when he said men lose arguments because we feel the need to include logic(or common sense).

Not to come off cocky or nothing, but it's mad frustrating to always be right and the other person can't/won't recognize it. I try my best to notbe overbearing, but I am right like 97% of the time.

Her main argument to Brianna is that we have too many Brian's in m family and too many variations on it. She has said that the name is ugly and"ghetto." So basically she is saying +*## my family in my eyes because I want to keep somewhat of a tradition.

STRAP UP FOLKS or PULL OUT

 

[nawth21]

Tell her to get a damned dog if she wants to give something a goofy %!# name. I swear. I work at a Uni and some of the names I see

makes me wanna smacktheir momma. I have to believe that some of them had to have it legally changed because who in their right mind names their kid D'Flow?

 

[hovkid]

What does it mean when you say your "BM"?

 

[mytmouse76]

I love when girls have unisex names like Jordan or Taylor. Hat spelling for Brionna is horrible.

 

[chicityk7]

yeah my bm wanted to name my daughter some crazy sh^% but im daddy & i wasnt going ...she didnt get to pick one name

 

[soltheman]

Simone Brianna [last name] or Brianna Simone [last name].

Compromise with your girl and name the second after a goddess, instead of just goddess. (

)

Grace Epione [last name.]

[im a helion]

Me and my BM had a bet. If it turned out to be a girl, I got to name her. If it was a boy, she did.

It was a boy, so she named him sorta after me. Me and him have the same initials, but different first names.

Skeetin up hood broads FTL.

Stand tall in naming your kid. I have a coworker named "Starnisha", %*!! is wild.

My daughter's name is Quynn (pronounced Quinn) Aniyah.

My-T.

[antbanks81]

Thanks for the tips NT fam...I just want to get this done so that we don't look like fools in the delivery room. I wish they would just drug herafterwards, but I hear since we are not married, they not even trying to hear what I'm saying.

My guy and his BM had agreed on a name, but she switched up the middle when the doctors asked her. I really don't want any of that.
