With a Twist!
As a victim recipient of a “twist” name I WILL say that we do get over it. Or just start to ignore it like the 4 times my name was mispronounced yesterday.
(My name is pronounced JAY-nuh. Was that your first guess? Of course it was…)
The Bleak of Unique
Every once in a while I’ll hear a “unique” name that doesn’t make me want to vomit. Living on the West Coast, though, I come across these a bit too often and do an inner wince.
If the name means something else, your child will ALWAYS be associated with that something.
Tread carefully my friends.
Classic and Trendy Names
In this 3 part series, I’ll be exploring the gut wrenching agony fun of picking out a name for your little one that won’t destroy his life. Here is some of the total crap obstacles I’ve noticed or come up against. It seems that you can’t win. Enjoy!
In my generation, these were the Jennifers and Michaels. Or in my husband’s case, he was known as “Boy-Kelly.”
Even when you stay away from the top ten “most popular” names, staying classic can backfire on you.
And then eventually, your kid will revolt entirely.
PS:Part 2 & 3 coming Tuesday and Wednesday!
PPS: Emma and Aiden were just the most popular names in a few lists so don’t write me angry emails. The only time they weren’t on the top of the list was when Jacob and Isabella were.
Or choose one of these!
