re: "Teen Moms"

The nice thing about it being my daughter, is that I can choose how I want to spell her name. There's no particular reason other than I wanted something original. Pretty sure that, in no way shape or form, tells you anything about her having a teen mom. I'm also pretty sure that I'm perfectly capable of spelling, so that has nothing to do with my decision.

I was 29 when the girls were born. I figured that I needed to have a life before I became responsible for one (little did I know I was going to get twins right away. lol). I just knew that there was no way I could have been a good mother until I got thru doing what I needed to first. No harm for you either! We go with what works.

Of course it's your decision.

It's my opinion that the spelling sucks.

I wish I waited a little longer to get married and have kids but I didn't

Spelling Bailey the right way would be more original than screwing up the spelling like you have. -Leigh is trendy as smurf, it's not unique in the least bit.

Yes because Bayleigh is SOOOO original. Just another in an ungodly long line of "youneek and trendiegh" names. Bleck.

Sure, it's your kid.
It's my opinion that you're smurfing up a perfectly good name. The only time her name becomes original is when it is written. When said outloud it's the same as all the other Bailey's in the world.

If you chose Bayleigh or however you spelled it to be original, then you probably should've chosen a name that wasn't #88 on the most popular name list last year. Just saying.

Its not original if 43836283 have used that spelling to be original. Bailey is a beautiful name for a human. Bayleigh is a nice name for a dog.

Well, if we're just stating opinions. your kid's name doesnt seem much better. But do I go point it out for no reason? No. Now that you want to insult how I want to spell my daughter's name, I'll do the same.

Why are you spelling it that way? I am not trying to bash, but it is annoying when someone mispronounces your name (in my case, my last name) or you have to constantly spell it out. Do you think it's a name that will suit her well in any situation? I mean you're right, you are her mother, but at some point your daughter will be an adult, and you want to give her all the tools to have an easy and successful life.

Actually, names like that tell me the mother is likely either young or uneducated. It's your choice but a lot of people assume the same.

Let me give you a bit of unsolicited advice.

It isn't you that has to be proud and carry that name daily. A name is a gift you give your child that they should be proud of. Not something that they should have to be burdened by. She will forever have to correct spelling, perhaps even answer "How do you say that?" a few times here and there and it will be more of a hassle than something she is proud of. The name is NOT about you. It is about your child. You want her to have something that she can grow with. Something that if she decides to be a CEO of a fortune 500 company that her name commands respect.

Not that Bailey isn't a good name. Really, I think it is a nice name. Messing with the spelling doesn't make it "unique", it makes it look like you couldn't spell and your daughter will wear that forever.

This is the first decision that you make for your child that impacts her life for the rest of her life. Take it seriously!!!

I would love to pin my name on some of these trendy smurfs for a month. I'm almost positive it would change a lot of minds. The only time anyone gets it right is at the OB/GYN's office.

Well aren't you as mature as all the other 16 year olds in the world.
