Haha @sparkleninja snap! I even have a [name_f]Pet[/name_f] Names one, even though I fully intend never to get so much as a stick insect. Good to be prepared, though!
[name_u]True[/name_u] but those two are very important notes to have lol.
I have a list of dog names! I just haven’t updated it since [name_u]March[/name_u] so it wasn’t one of the top ones I picked from. I definitely plan to get a dog after I graduate college though.
I’d just like to question why people…don’t assume I’ve spelt the name the way I want the name to be spelt in my signature??? Like???
ME! I also have whole family trees of my characters family extending several generations including their pets gahahaha i mean you can never be too prepared right???
MRW someone has read one (1) article on the fact that names have social connotations and wants to tell me what they learned about “[name_m]Kevin[/name_m]”
MRW someone’s cousin’s best friend’s ex works in a daycare with kids called [name_m]Matt[/name_m]-[name_u]Eagle[/name_u] and Pürschelbär:
MRW someone spends five minutes lamenting about the weird name of the new baby and it turns out to be [name_f]Mila[/name_f] or [name_m]Matteo[/name_m]: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dcy0svtVAAAbNOL.jpg
In a “What names to you not like/not get/hate/loathe/can’t wrap your head around/don’t understand/can’t appreciate/think you’re better than” thread
someone: Well I hate invented names, like I heard of a girl called La-a and it’s pronounced…and you won’t believe this…you better be sitting down…LADASHA
No no no no no let me tell you about this set of twins my mom’s cousin’s brother-in-law’s dog’s vet’s sister heard about. Their names were [name_u]Orange[/name_u]-Jello and [name_m]Lemon[/name_m]-Jello!
OP: “hey y’all, need middle name options for [name_f]Michelle[/name_f]! Thinking of [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] [name_f]Sophie[/name_f], but not sold on it? Last name starts with P, two syllables.”
One: “Oh, [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] is cute! [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]?”
Two: “I like [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] [name_f]Sophie[/name_f].”
Three: “Ok so like it’s cute but hear me out here - what if, like, totally up to you but I think you should do it, what if you flippy-floppy with [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] and use [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_f]Michelle[/name_f]?! So cute, right? My vote goes to [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_f]Michelle[/name_f]. I don’t like [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] up front!
Four: “I hate [name_f]Michelle[/name_f], it’s so tacky and dated. Your daughter will grow up hating you for bestowing this middle-aged mom name upon her, and will probably try to kill you in your sleep. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you want your daughter to end up on Dateline?!”
Right in this thread I said people who name their kids [name_f]Daenerys[/name_f]/[name_f]Khaleesi[/name_f] should choose Daeryssa instead and I wasn’t wrong, even Daena will be better.
And then learned there are people naming their daughters after Lyanna [name_m]Stark[/name_m] and I lost my hope for humanity. Lyanna legit said she doesn’t want to marry [name_m]Robert[/name_m] because he is a flirt, then ran away with a married man right after the birth of his son, caused the deaths of her father and brother, caused the deaths of [name_u]Elia[/name_u], her toddler daughter Rhaenys and infant son Aegon after she ran away with their husband/father, but yes it’s a great name!
Well, to be fair, people do name their kids things like [name_f]Princess[/name_f], [name_m]Duke[/name_m], and [name_m]King[/name_m]. Isn’t that just as bad?
Yes it is. Well actually it’s worse, if someone was to tell me their name was [name_f]Khaleesi[/name_f] [name_u]Dana[/name_u] [name_m]Johnson[/name_m] I wouldn’t take them for an actual [name_f]Khaleesi[/name_f], while, let’s say, [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m] would probably give me a moment to think about it.
