Fine for small families. Terrible when they start running out of names.Thoughts on naming your kids with the same first letter? I think parents think it’s more cute/clever than it really is.
has got it going on?Stacy’s mom……
Still laughing about that one.Vasilia-will grow up full of hate because her parents gave her the middle name “Deferens”
My wife wanted to do this and I objected before we ever got married. Her parents and sister all had D names. She used her middle name so hers would also start with a D.Thoughts on naming your kids with the same first letter? I think parents think it’s more cute/clever than it really is.
This fully/perfectly explains the why behind the “y” and general odd name spelling phenomenon.My wife wanted to do this and I objected before we ever got married. Her parents and sister all had D names. She used her middle name so hers would also start with a D.
She wanted our kids to have D names and I said no. A couple weeks before our first was born we'd settled on a middle name, but still no first name. Then she threw out Dalton and I thought, "I can live with that, but the next one will start with something else."
Same fight ensued for the 2nd one. We're driving to the hospital to be induced and still have only a middle name. She had two that started with D was wasn't viscerally opposed to, but absolutely zero of my suggestions were given even a thought. The boy is born and he still has no name. Nurse asked me to fill out the birth certificate form after a while and my wide was still distressed and exhausted. Not willing to have that fight at that moment I went with the least egregious D name on her list.
When we got pregnant with the 3rd I had prepared with a new strategy. "I don't think it's fair that the boys all have D names and none of the kids get a J name like me." Somehow that ludicrous logic was deemed perfectly reasonable and I got a daughter with a J name before the 3rd trimester started. Even that came with copious disagreement, though. Jordyn had to be spelled with a Y bc it was more effeminate. I objected until the very end, but similarly capitulated when filling out birth certificate forms after the epidural was a colossal failure.

Don't lie, we know your wife spells it Gybson...Girls names were easy for us. Almost no arguing at all.
Boys names were a different story. I wanted something with family history, she wanted a name that was easy to spell and that girls would think was a hot boy name.
I’m a little self-conscious of Gibson because I worry that people will think it’s a stupid new age white people name, and I’m very against stupid new age white people names, but in reality it’s an old family name with some cool history behind it.
