They have named her [name_f]Sweetie[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u] Funk.
She is [name_f]Sister[/name_f] to Super Capron Funk.

At least she has Marie to fall back on, unlike her sister. ETA: Oops I assumed her brother was female
Aww! I was hoping for [name_f]Strawberry[/name_f].
Itâs way way too cutesy for me, which Iâm sure they are fully aware of and donât mind!
I also canât help but notice the difference in message between the offbeat virtue name they chose for their son and for their daughter. Iâd have loved to have seen Superâs sister have an equally powerful name, like [name_f]Moxie[/name_f], [name_u]Valor[/name_u], [name_m]Prosper[/name_m], MarvelâŚ
I have to agree that the difference between naming a son Super and a daughter [name_f]Sweetie[/name_f] is striking. I never thought that I would prefer [name_u]Powerful[/name_u] [name_f]Queen[/name_f] but here we are.
Itâs a bit⌠awkward? You know how we always go back and forth on whether or not Honey is usable? This is a similar situation. I am not sure how it will work in professional settings, or with strange men calling her âSweetie.â
Honestly? Theyâre awful. At least she has her middle name to go by instead.
While I am a fan of Rydel, I donât fully agree with a lot of the things she has said/done regarding gender, but this is⌠A lot. Itâs really sad that her son is Super but her daughter is just expected to be sweet. Especially considering how loud and outgoing Rydel is, you would think sheâd appreciate more powerful virtues for her daughter, but I guess sheâs loud because itâs quirky and not necessarily to have her voice heard in any meaningful way.
Side note: how did you find out the name? I have looked everywhere and they havenât announced it publicly yet.
Oh thank you! Of course thatâs the one place I forgot to check
I also thought it was [name_f]Strawberry[/name_f]!
Most celebrities nowadays: Letâs give them an EXTRAORDINARY name that EVERYONE will TALK ABOUT and will get featured on MAGAZINES!
Thatâs at least my theory.
Very misogynistic imho
While Iâm not a fan of Super, I do find it empowering. Unfortunately, thereâs nothing empowering about [name_f]Sweetie[/name_f].
I canât imagine been called [name_f]Sweetie[/name_f] all the timeâŚ.
damn i really thought it wouldâve been [name_f]Strawberry[/name_f]!
i donât really mind [name_f]Sweetie[/name_f] (although it reminds me of the rapper saweetie), especially because itâs got some significance to Rydel but like @may.rose said, itâd be a little weird to have randos calling you [name_f]Sweetie[/name_f] even if it is your name
atleast we know that theyâre having a lot of kids so hopefully itâll get better from here haha
also when she wrote the âswâ i was thought maybe Swade?
I dont personally agree with Elle1 thats its misogynistic. Sure, it would be better if it was more impowering, but I thought Elle1 was going overboard by saying it was âmisogynistâ.
However I have to say while Im not especially fond of the name (except the middle name, Marie), I loved the special meaning behind it.
Not a fan of the name, but to each their own. I do agree that a more powerful name wouldâve been better. Maybe a more unique middle name too.
I donât think @Elle1 was going overboard at all.
Using terms like âhoneyâ and âsweetie,â especially in the workplace, undermines women and is patronising.
These terms are essentially a socially acceptable way of saying âyou cute femaleâ whilst subtly shifting the power dynamic, and although not necessarily sexualizing, calling someone âsweetieâ still objectifies them in the sense that it asserts that women are there to be projected on.
I donât love it, itâs not the worst celebrity name Iâve ever heard, and I prefer it to Super. But itâs too much for a first name.
I understand that it has meaning to Rydel but itâs just a common nickname, like everyone calls their kid sweetie, I just feel like itâll be too confusing.
If she wanted to go with a sweet name she could have gone with Swetalina,Sweetlin,Swetlana or Sweetheart, which isnât much better but atleast she could go my Heart when sheâs older.
I get what youre saying but i dont think it was the funkâs intention at all. Dont assume before you dont know.
