well the other day my mom and i were talking about baby names now let me tell u this woman picks out some strange names she did name one of her children Gentry b/c that was her maiden name never really understood that but w/e...she wants to pick out my childs name that would b a big negative he's mine not her's well she wants me to name him Ashlin sorry that sounds like a girls name to me...but it's supposed to sound like mine don't want to name him after anyone any way so yea i have seteled (sp) on the name Devlin Kai and he is going to go by Kai i think it's cute and no one around here has that name well i was telling her that and she told me that was a girls name i looked it up for her and it's not but it can b it's *gasp* a unisex name and i like it i mean she named me Ashton and when ever u even remotly look it up it's always labeled a boys name.....later in the convo she said it would b more of a boys name if i spelled it Ky i'm sorry but that makes me think of ky gel and kentucky...i kno i'm not going to listen to her and i'm not going to change how it's spelled but god i wish she would stop picking names out for me i mean she is trying to give him the samw initals i have which spell RAW no that's ok i refuse but she is going to keep doing it and it's starting to piss me off....i kno she thinks she's helping but she's not she just doesn't listen

Don't discuss it with her anymore then. if she brings it up tell you don't want to discuss it anymore because you two never agree and it looks as though you never will. You're right - this is YOU child, name YOU baby whatever YOU want to name him.

I personally like the name you chose and the spelling of the middle name which is how it's supposed to be spelled.

thank u i do to i thought it was really cute

I like that name.. I am sorry your mom has to be like that. And I agree Ky Is not a good spelling, Like Kai A lot better  just don't discuss names with her anymore.. it's your child.

I like the name you have picked out. just dont talk to your mom about baby names any more. And when she brings it up just tell her that you've chosen a name and thank her for the input, but that you just dont need any more suggestions because you're settled on the name you want....
however, my mom was a huge help when it came to naming my daughter. I'd had a name picked out for the first 7 months (mackenzie) and then it started getting to common so one night about 3 weeks before my due date I woke my mom up in at 1am crying because I HAD to have a name for my baby girl. lol, my poor mom had to be at work at 5am, but she woke up and went over tons of names with me until we found one I liked. Thank God she never tried to name Madison for me...

When my grandmother first found out I was pregnant she said "You should name her Isabella, my grandmother named your mother, so I should get to name this one..." I was like UHH NO.. Just because you let your grandma name your kid doesn't mean I'm letting you name mine. I HATE the name Isabella (for my child) not only because it's her dogs name but it's also just not my style.. Name your baby what you want to.

o god i didn't mention the fact that my mom and gma are pissed at me b/c i refuse to name my son James no that's ok i don't like it i refuse to use biblical names just not for me and b4 i found out i was having a boy my mom helped me pic my girls name so i thought i would let her help with the boys name then she came up with the worst names i ever heard b/c they were all so normal or really bad
