Josh, Anna and the Ms 14: Another arrow for the quiver


samurai_sarah

Recommended Posts

I have friends who became parents 2 weeks ago and him being French and her being German (but she grew up in Belgium and Scottland) they had a hard time finding a name that is internationally known (in the Western world), can be pronounced in each of their languages, is classy and timeless. They ended up with Emilie, which is a nice name, trendy right now in Middle and Western Europe but not tacky (yet?).

ETA: I find this thoroughly fascinating. That was the name du jour of my upper middle class elementary school in the 1980s. There were 5 Katies in my 1st grade class. 

 It was Tracey in my day........

Soooo many Traceys. 

By the time MiniCoveredInBees started school It was Millie.

Millies everywhere........ Something to do with being born in the year 2000 ;)

Of course everyone here in NC is freaking out because of Irma and clearing the grocery store shelves of water. (*eyeroll*) We ran in to get something for dinner last night and this very, very elderly gentleman stopped me to ask what I thought about all the hullaballoo (yes he used that word! and yes, I am sort of a weirdo-magnet. strangers just talk to me...). He was so genteel and articulate. We spoke for a bit and he suddenly said "you know, I knew many Irmas in my younger days. They were all bitches." then he was done talking and strolled off. I tried so hard not to laugh. 

Andddd! I love Astrid, personally. But:

In Ireland, Kevin is a very conservative normal (even slightly boring) name. 

 

When I was at school, the tacky names with negative connotations were Jacinta, Jocelyn, Tracy and Sharon (the fat slags :my_biggrin:), Cheryl, Anita etc... I think v similar to U.K. Nowadays those are out of use, and it's more like Beyoncé, Rihanna etc although I've never met a real life child with those names. I find 90% of kids in my kids' school have very uninteresting names. Lots of repetition also. A huge amount of Daniel, Hannah, Lucy, Rian, James, Katie etc

I think they will announce the birth of M5 right after Joe's wedding and around Joy's gender reveal. Then there will be less focus on them. Probably with another pregnancy announcement of Jessa or Jinger.

I find it fascinating that all languages has these divisions, but they are one of the hardest thing to explain or pick up on as a foreigner.

And Astrid being tacky really surprises me, where would that be?

My grandmother was an Irma.  It is weird to see all the headlines:  "Millions Flee From Irma's Path" .  "Florida Braces for Direct Hit from Ferocious Irma."

You know you're old when names like Kevin and Jennifer are considered "old-fashioned." Those are my kids' peers' names. They were born in 1987 and 1990.

MY GD is 3, and her name is Claire. In the 80s and 90's, Claire or Mary  would have been considered old-fashioned. It's all a big cycle.

Hmmm. I see I'm going to have to go back to the last thread and find out why all the hate for Astrid. Its not very common here (Canadian West Coast) but not unknown. If course it always makes me think of Pippi Longstocking, so I have only good feelings about it. 

I don't think there is any "hate" towards the name Astrid. We were just discussing how different names are perceived differently in different areas. I don't dislike the name itself. I DO dislike TRYNDY names and maybe judge people more harshly than I should when they use them. But I am working on that :my_angel:

Astrid is #613 in popularity  on babycenter while Astryd was #12,244 hehe

My mother is also an Irma. She just said she never heard her name being said do much in her life.

If people's names reflect who they are, then I don't think I'd want my kids to play with Spurgeon or Israel. Spurgeon's name sounds like he would be pompous, bossy, and smug. While Israel isn't a terrible name, it would lead me to believe that the parents have some kind of a saviour complex (which isn't inaccurate).

My great grandfather was named Israel. Then again, we're Jewish. I never met him, but he was a good man. He worked hard to protect his family.

I just started tutoring some kids who are refugees from Afghanistan. I'm having a terrible time remembering their names. I put them on an index card, and carry it around, muttering the names to myself. 

In my long ago youth i studied Latin, German, French and Spanish, but these names have me stumped. I have learned to say thank you.

The family has been helped by the churches and temples in the community. It was a wonderful team effort.

I believe they live around Interlachen, east of Gainesville, in north central Florida. They aren't on the coast. They probably haven't evacuated. However, they do live in a manufactured home, which is not ideal in a hurricane. [also unlikely to have a cellar to shelter in]

They live probably about 80 miles north of John & Alyssa Bates Webster, who are near Orlando (also in the interior).

Florida has about 20 million people; there is no way everyone can evacuate north & away from the coasts.

We live around 30 minutes from the Websters and most of the people I've talked to are staying put. The grocery stores are insane though.

I think this is probably the worst name I remember.

Quote

 In 1966, a Liverpool supporter called his newborn after every player in the 1965 FA Cup-winning team – including the manager and two assistants. Pity the poor teachers who had to take the register for Paula St John Lawrence Lawler Byrne Strong Yeats Stevenson Callaghan Hunt Milne Smith Thompson Shankly Bennett Paisley O’Sullivan. Even worse, her mother only discovered her daughter’s unusual name when she came out of hospital – and said she was “disgusted” at her husband’s choice. Mainly because, although her husband was football mad, she had never watched a match in her life.

I wonder how long the marriage lasted....and imagine the hell that child had filling in forms the rest of her life! If she could even remember her name in the right order.... :mindblowing:

In Thailand, EVERYONE has a nickname that is generally used. I know small, little, fat, frog, mouse, crab, dog, pouty-lips, and painting. I was introduced to a friend's new baby on Wednesday - warm water (Napoon)!

There's a cookbook written by a Thai called Cooking with Poo. Poo means crab.....

My family had an exchange student from Thailand when I was younger, and he went by Sat, since he was born on Saturday.

As for the book, well, this also exists:

I really hope this is J/A last kid unless ANNA truly wants another. I think Josh has caused enough pain for several lifetimes.

Oh, regarding dated names, does anyone else watch Kimmy Schmidt? There was a storyline on the recent season where a guy Titus is dating has a baby named Linda.
