re: How to choose a baby name

Quoting ~♥~ Andi ~♥~:" I personally think this is all a load of bull spit. I have a boy's name and I never got picked on for ... [snip!] ... come to you. There's no use in choosing a name beforehand when most parents change their baby's name when he or she is born. "

i like Andi for a girl.. i think its different and cute

Quoting Liz Boyd:" i like Andi for a girl.. i think its different and cute"

How about Andrea with a nickname "Andy/Andi"?

I like nicknames, but not as formal given names, ykwim? Example: Liz is a great nickname, but Elizabeth is more sophisticated and gives one more options in the nickname department, and it is a name that grows and can work at any stage of life.

"Can you blame people for not being able to pronounce or spell your daughter's name correctly? And why can't you name this baby Bianca?"

It is not that hard to say Cydnie If people could read then it would not be spelled or said wrong. And we didn't name her Bianca because my family in laws called it a strippers name and my husband got fed up with them making fun.

Quoting Specs06:" I agree with all those they're right on! One thing I'd like to add: * giving your little girl a boy's ... [snip!] ... name. Or one that makes them sound like a moron ei: JezziKah for Jessica. Pleasant, thoughtful, naming, ---------- Ash"

I also disagree complete my name is jordan and i never had any problems, except for maybe "michael jordan" but never any "manly comments" ( sorry for the grammer, broke my dominant hand this week lol)

Quoting Air:" I have to DISAGREE!!! Frankly I have to say this is only my opinion as much as what you said was only ... [snip!] ... ASH if ASHLEY IS YOUR NAME ( WHICH I'M GUESSING IT IS ) ASHLEY STARTED AS A BOY'S NAME BEFORE IT WAS EVER A GIRLS!!!!!!!"

Well said... HIgh Five  

shelby goes both ways too....

I've only met one Shelby...a girl.

I agree about the African American/Ghetto names In naming my baby,Quin'Darrius Dominic and alot of people say that is a ghetto named but honestly i have heard worse like Jaquanesha Sha'Diamond Tannorence Plushundra LaBrittany Quadasha and Ronisha I also know a Tamorris and a JohnDre

I'm black, but holy smurf.   Those names are awful.

What about Darius Dominic? Keep in mind your baby will need to get a job, and an employer is more likely to hire Darius Dominic over Quin'Darrius.

i love the name Lucy but what a hard name to grow up with.... Lucy goosy, juice lucy... for an adult its not bad but no name is for an adult cause kids are so mean i just dont know if i can put my kid through a bad name cause they have so much more to worry about in school and peer pressure

and for a boy i love tristian but no body else does i cant think of a middle name either for it????
