babyloveg`s poll Show results | Hide results


Name-poll poll We picked the name Allison Nicole for our baby girl. My fiance knew he had a cousin Allison who lives in Texas (we live in MD), but we just found out she is also Allison Nicole too. We`ve grown so attached to the name already. What should we do?
(Name poll by babyloveg, 707 days ago)
Change the name completely.
Keep the name, his cousin lives so far away anyway.
Try changing either just her first name or middle name.

You are still quite early in your pregnancy that you may even have a change of heart, and pick a whole new name. If the name Allison Nicole holds no family tradition you may go with something else. I thought I had my baby`s name picked out weeks ago, and just 2 days ago I decided it wasn`t what I wanted. If I had a family member (even distant) I would not want the whole name to match their`s. I would keep the Allison, but use a different middle name. I would only keep Nicole if it ment something (if it was yours ect...). Having your heart set on a name so early, maybe not a good idea as you may decide to change it closer to the date, or when you finally meet your baby girl!!

I voted for keep the name. Not only because she lives so far away, but she might even feel privileged. lol

We decided were going to keep the name. In my fiances family they have more than one Maria, Jose, Pablo Antonio, Marcelo, etc. Thats his latino side. So now I won`t feel so guilty keeping the name we fell in love with. Thanks to everyone for your help!

google your own name.. id bet you will find at least one person mentioned on some website who shares your name. my point is, unless you make up a name, there is just about a 100% chance there will be someone else with a matching name. So, name your baby whatever you like!

Personally I wouldn`t think twice about it...who cares? If everyone was okay with them having the same first name the middle name really shouldn`t matter :)

If it bothers you maybe change the spelling would help? My sisters name is Nicole spelled Nicolle. or do Allyson

  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,.....
