windchime`s poll Show results | Hide results


Name-poll poll If you liked a name, but it happened to share the name of an alcoholic beverage (e.g. Jack Daniel, Samuel Adams, Johnny Walker), would you...
(Name poll by windchime, 333 days ago)
Use it anyway, who cares about the association?
Not use it... that's kinda strange.
Depends on the name (see comments)

My boss at work has a son named Jack Daniel- totally a family name. I think it`s a lil strange. I wouldn`t want my kids with a name associated with alcohol.

It depends. . . I`m partial to Samuel Adams, myself, but Woodchuck Cider would be a bit out there.

if it were his first and middle name like jack daniel jones or something, i wouldnt worry too much about it cuz really nobody knows your middle name but if it were something like johnny ___ Walker, i would think twice about it because every time a teacher calls his name for attendance, or any time he gets a phone call, or anything like that people will mention the alcohol and that would get really old really quick.

First & middle in the case of Jack Daniel, or 1st & last in the other two examples. I`m not giving the exact name we`re thinking of because I want to stay anonymous.

Are you talking about the 1st & 2nd name? Or just the first? My son is named Gibson...which is a whiskey. But he was actually named after a guitar. haha...I think GIbson alone is fine, But naming him `Gibson`s Finest`, well that may be a little odd.

  1. Silly poll, just checking the odds.. for parents of 3+kids, did you have:
  2. Career conundrum... Opinions valued (particularly from teachers - but I would value advice from anyone). Details inside.
  3. At what age do you think it`s appropriate to drop your child off at a sporting training (not a school sport, a sports club such as soccer, footy, tennis, netball club etc), and come at the end to pick them up?
  4. If you saw a car up your next-door neighbour`s drive (evening), would you make a social visit (and didn`t know them very well)?


  5. So this is what the Tooth Fairy would be like if the roles were reversed haha!
  6. Bookworms - is anyone reading the new Khaled Hosseini book `And the Mountains Echoed`? I pre-ordered it on kindle which should have arrived today (I haven`t checked yet) but was wondering if anyone would be interested in a group read?
  7. HELP - my 3 year old daughter is developing a phobia to fluff! I feel responsible, I have a ridiculous phobia of bees and wasps - to the point it hinders my ability to enjoy playing out in the garden during the summer, it`s detrimental. My kids have picked up on this and are sh*t scared of bees and wasps, but with my daughter it was soon spiders, then ants and now, tiny black bits of fluff - which she finds all over; on her pillow etc. It`s genuine terror in her face as she screams she can see them moving and they`re `going to get her` or `bite her`. What do I do? She`s old enough to be reasoned with that they don`t move and we pick most of them off before bedtime, but she wakes in the night and starts crying that `The Fluff`s coming...!!` How can I help her? Do you think this is just a phase or do you think it`s worth seeking some sort of external, professional help to nip this in the bud? I HATE the thought of passing on my phobias and anxieties to my children - it`s no way to live to be a constant worrier about things beyond your control and I;ve suffered with anxiety and panick attacks for nearing 6 years now and can`t ever remember just feeling `normal` and `well` - I can`t remember my life before my first panick attack. This is NOT what I want for my children...
  8. On Facebook I saw one of those like pictures, a mom who sent her child to school for days wearing out of style `ugly` clothes because she was bullying another girl about her clothes. Mom`s yourselves, what do you think of this type of punishment?
  9. Can anyone relate? My 4 year old is making all sorts of amazing connections which is great that he`s thinking about the world, but some of his thoughts are quite deep. He`s a natural born worrier (gets that from me!) and I try to protect him from as much as I can but there`s things that can`t be avoided. Ie, ever since Easter, he`s been plagued with fear about getting holes in him like Jesus (he learnt it at Kindy). Well just this evening he came out with `Why do you and Margo (Grandma) have holes in your ears like Jesus? Did you get your ears nailed to a cross?` He`s also obsessed with the fear of death.
  10. Family of 4 flying Southwest tomorrow (2.5-hr flight), baby riding in carseat on plane so can only sit by window. Flight is full. Which seating arrangement would you choose...
