So I told my sister the name choice after what has been months of going back and forth (plus all of y’all’s help on name polls).
We chose Grant Nelson Cochran.
Last name is Cochran. I hate putting my last name but wanted people to understand.
The first thing she said was Grant me your cock (sorry for the vulgarity). Which I don’t think most people would jump to. And I even put a name poll about bad pairings with this name on Reddit and no one came to that conclusion. She’s told me before she doesn’t like the name Grant because of someone she knew.
Should I really be concerned about this relation. I want to believe most people wouldn’t think this ever.
I think your sister is looking for reasons to trash the name. Possibly because of her negative association with someone with the name.
I don’t think most people would think of this and I don’t think you should let her ruin the name for you.
I think you’re absolutely fine.
I have known multiple Grants and none of them have gotten that before, and I doubt they ever will! and it never would have occurred to me either. honestly, it was just a strange thing to say on your sister’s behalf.
if you love [name_m]Grant[/name_m], then use it!
If you didn’t explain it I wouldn’t have put it together.
I love [name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_u]Nelson[/name_u] [name_m]Cochran[/name_m] (even tho I wouldn’t use it myself)
You could always use [name_m]Grant[/name_m] as a nickname for [name_m]Grantley[/name_m]
But if love the name don’t let anything your sister said about the name bother you and go for it.
By the sounds of it your sister is the type of person to complain about anything as long as it gets her in the spotlight. Don’t let her comments bother you.
I personally went to middle and high school with a few different Grant’s and I never heard any comments like that
I think because she has a bad association she just wants some reason to trash it, there’s literally nothing wrong with it in the slightest. [name_m]Grant[/name_m] is an adorable name that deserves so much love
I think you are OK to use it. I know someone that can make any name into something dirty. She may have been trying to help, but I don’t think it is a problem.
That seems like a pretty immature response to what is a wonderful name combo. [name_m]Grant[/name_m] is my brother’s middle name. I think [name_m]Grant[/name_m] is handsome and underused.
I know how insensitive sisters can be when it comes to name choices.
I don’t think you have anything to worry about in the slightest. I wouldn’t ever have drawn thay conclusion about the name combo at all!?
I definitely wouldn’t let that turn me away from the name, it’s a great name. Sounds like she has a terrible negative attitude towards the name, which is sad because she should put that aside and be happy that you have found a name that YOU love for YOUR baby.
I love the name [name_m]Grant[/name_m] and think your sister is being entirely unreasonable. Grant’s fresh and classic, and truly golden since it’s firmly in that sweet spot for names. It reminds me of my favorite actor, [name_u]Cary[/name_u] [name_m]Grant[/name_m], who was the epitome of debonair and handsome.
Oh wow. I’m sorry your sister has given you a hard time on the name.
After reading the title and seeing your name choice, I was trying to figure out why or how it could be ruined… I couldn’t come up with anything, and then read what your sister said… I would not have come to that conclusion.
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] is a great name. Go with it!!
That is a bizarre thing to say and I literally can’t imagine anyone saying that… like ever!
I’m biased as I have a [name_m]Grant[/name_m]. But I love the name so much. It’s easy to say, has no spelling issues, it’s masculine (don’t worry about this one “going to the girls”), classic and definitely underused. We get lots of compliments on his name and he’s never had to use his last name initial in class, on sports teams, etc due to having more than one.
Please don’t let this silly comment sway you from a great name!
What on Earth?? How did she even get there?
