raycheldavey`s poll Show results | Hide results


Name-poll poll My husband and I decided if we had a girl I would choose the name, and for a boy he would choose. But he chose a popular name right now and we know 3 people who named their kids that. I dont want the whole `you copied me!` crap because thats dumb and I didnt choose it, he did... what would you say?

You two should both have one Vito! (sp?)

pick a different name together... you should pick together regardless if it`s a boy or a girl. we picked together and I`m happy buz this way, we both had a say and we were both pleased with it .

I will still have to disagree that theree is a perfect name for everyone...especially the fact that as soon as you see it, not everyone knows it`s THE name. I`m not trying to say that you didn`t know because you very well could have but that is not true for everyone, and that is awsome that you and your partner did! So for a mom that just can`t seem to find THE name...she might get really anxious about it and that can be really hard when pregnant.

I guess I should have added that I do like the name he picked, hes a good name picker. I just dont want everyone to get pissed off and think we copied. lol

First of all you can totally VETO, and I` don`t agree with you will both know when you see the perfect name!! Boy names are totally hard to come up with and you don`t want your child to have the same name as others in your class!! I know I was Amanda V. and there were three Amanda`s in my class and I HATED it!!!!

I think the moms and dad should both get the power of veto. I would hate to have a kid whose name I did not like!! And I would hate my husband to have to deal with that too.

I think that it should be a decision you make together. I let my bf choose the name but overall women have more say. I mean we are the ones who have to be in labor for hours. Ask him if he likes another name you guys both like.

I say that your not being fair. You two decided who would name the genders now let him do it. How would you feel if he vetoed your name? Who cares how many people named their kids the same name? If he loves that name let him do it.

haha armymom. Though I do totally agree wih you. Take it back men are so bad at picking names!

lovemyfamily (802 days ago)
OMG Armymom! My SO LOVES those names hahaha and has amost once even convinced me on Leonidas! hahahaha.I would say it`s a bad deal and you should both agree, we tried to do that to just end the arguing but we both hated the names the other person picked. lol

armymom (802 days ago)
I think that was a stupid deal to make cause in my case my husband would have named our son Leonidous or Hurcules! lol.. never let the man have full control over name choosing. Take back the deal now! lol

If you like the name I say go for it ~ there is nothing that says you cant use a name others used. They will get over it :) If you dont care for the name I say tell hubby to pick another one. We opted to choose names together because I`d hate to have my child with a name I didnt like and visa versa ~ whats the name??

nmck (802 days ago)
I would say that as this child`s mother, you have power of veto. He can choose the name, but you have to agree with it.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
