Ace isn't the best name, but it's not the worst. I want to name my future son(if I wind up having one) Harper, even though it's usually a girl's name.
There's so many bad names out there. I met a Lucifer once (not that it's a bad name, it just has a bad preconceived context) and he was the nicest gentleman I've ever come across. But when I meet a Barbie I want to slap their parents in the face. Dwizle...that's... bad. Glad I could be a least a little helpful.
Then there was that judge who recently ruled the parents who were arguing over a child's surname had to change the child's first name, because the judge didn't think naming a child, Messiah, was appropriate.
I read that article. That is ridiculous. By that logic there should be no Chastity, Hope, Summer, etc. I dated a girl in high school named Psalmedy.
I have and thank you. It was a rant. One I could not do with anyone but strangers who chose to read. Nothing I was about to share with family and friends...not that language. And it surprised even me. Normally I just cuss in good humor but after than phone call...damn! Ace took me back to when our twins were young. Friends trying tell them apart wanted to give nicknames by printing Bubba and Scooter on tee shirts. To the classroom where I watched students' interact. Don't think I'm overly sensitive to names. We give so much thought to our fictional ones for good reason...they matter. This was written without intent to demean, nor did I direct any to others here and now that it's done I see something. Retarded buzzed several while others replied to the context with extinguishing replies. Like Kingtype, "Chill out dude!" Thank you. I did. Then there is TessaT's reply. She showed understanding without showering scorn. That's a true talent and I thank TessaT again.
I pity that poor woman. Faith, Hope, etc. are good names, but Psalmedy? Chastity is kind of weird too, if you what it really means.
Yeah. I had grown up in a secular household. We weren't card carrying atheists; we just didn't "do" religion. I failed to make the connection between her name and the upbringing at heralded. I was unprepared. It didn't last long. Of course, there was also the whole "I like dudes" thing going on.... LOL
Oh I've seen plenty of girls names that are beautiful and different than the usual Jennifer or Melissa. I knew two twin girls named Melody and Harmony. I knew an Autumn and a Harvest, too. Funny story, a long time ago I asked my young daughter what we should name her new brother, and she replied, 'Tardis!'
All this reminds me of another oddity. I met a girl many years back named Placenta. Never knew if her parents knew what the word meant.
Thank you your highness...how old do I feel right now? Any happy thoughts I had about being carded last week have now been completely vapourised. Maybe If I ever get carded again, rather than showing ID I'll just sing a Jonny Cash song at the checkout to prove I'm a dinosaur...
I'm only 27 and by no means a dinosaur... and I love me some Johnny Cash. But I also love me some Steppenwolf, some Santana, and some Tennessee Ernie Ford. It's not showing my age, it's showing my taste.
Don't worry about it, both my kids (8 and 12) can sing every word to Boy Named Sue, Rock Island Line, Ballad of a Teenage Queen, Ring of Fire, and Folsom Prison Blues. We're not dinosaurs, they just don't have anyone to show them the coolness, lol.
I don't know how to address you, but you are awesome. That is one of the nicest things someone has ever said to me and totally made my day. @Lewdog: I hope that post was you being sarcastic
I didn't say I was looking to get in line...I asked where the line was, as in so I should know so I don't cross it.
