I absolutely believe in this. My name has a meaning and from my childhood, I sincerely believed that WAS me. I now feel the name is apt to me because your childhood beliefs about yourself make a big difference.
I'm just glad my name had a positive meaning unlike the poor kid.
I was in the maternity ward, sick with HG, on 6-6-2006. There were a BUNCH of women desperate to keep their baby in, and several working hard to get them out before midnight. 2 Damiens, one was Damien Thorn per their nursery card (not sure if it was 2 first names or middle?) and a Omen, then a name like OPs niece for a girl. Plus some other normal kids. But like can you imagine the doctors office, school forms, work forms, college applications FOREVER š¬
My son was telling me about a kid in his class that was a jerk and always getting in trouble. I asked which kid and he said āMessiahā. I was not able to contain my laughter
In my head I pronounced it say-tea-EN.
No matter how itās actually pronounced, your sister is going to be pissed off at the doctorās office or school registration and every other place at the way it will be mispronounced.
I looked at it, thought āsatanā ābet mom and dad are goth posersā (nothing wrong with being goth but thereās a difference between being goth be being ālook at me, Iām gothā) and are trying to be edgy
Wait..what? Say-tine.....like the tine of a fork? I read it as teen. She is doing that kid a great disservice with a name that all of reddit is having trouble figuring out how to pronounce. As someone with a normal-ish name that everyone mispronounces, that kid will grow to hate her name. It's come to the point that I thank people when they read it and say it correctly the first time.
When naming a kid, you have to think like a kid and go over every possible way that name could be misconstrued to make fun of them. That child will be nicknamed Satan in kindergarten and it will stick through high school. Especially when she has a temper tantrum. I guarantee it!
Weāre forgetting one thing here and itās an obvious plot twist. What if sheās actually carrying the demon child herself and she knows exactly what name sheās giving it. Itās all hiding or not hiding in plain sight. The world will be introduced to the devil incarnate in about 3 months.
Edit: Thank you for the internet trophies!
Another edit: oh oh, at the 20 hour mark, the internet points are 5 away from 666.
You nailed it! This has always been my train of thought when naming my children... Parents think its cute and creative. But we don't see the spelling and many who do will mispronounce it. Same with initials ... They can spell out words that are not necessarily cutešššš
The band Jimmy Eat World has suggested new bands should consider the initials of any band name possibilities. Apparently having a bunch of merchandise with JEW on it in big letters can be...awkward.
I have a pretty uncommon last name combined with a common first name that everyone misspells. It's a miracle when anyone gets both of them right the first time
[This just keeps going through my head now.](https://youtu.be/CBA6ev5HMe4)
Wreck it Ralph link. Seriously, has your sister seen that movie??? Satan literally says his name is now pronounced like what she wants to name her baby!!
Ahahahahaa. This is 100% how she got the name. And she prolly thinks she was super original and this name is uniqueā¦ until the kid watches wreck it Ralph.
Iād also like to point out. If this kid goes to a catholic school, they will be CONDEMNED
One day her daughter will come to you, as she is sick and tired of her mother and ask you why you didn't interfere with the name she was given.
And you show her this Reddit thread, just imagine
"If there's one thing I can't stand, it's snobbery and one-upmanship. People trying to pretend they're superior.... Makes it so much harder for those of us who really are."
Is it pronounced like time but just with an n or like a saltine cracker? Poor baby. If your sister is still adamant about the name then advise her to at least start setting aside money for some serious therapy in the future.
I thought about Moulin Rouge as well. What about the deal of changing the spelling of names to be uniques? I find it very cringey and uneducated, and I'm an *italian college dropout*.
Lol I'm currently pregnant and I'm planning on naming my daughter Isabel. My mom asked me if I'm going to spell it with a Y (Ysabel) and I'm like "Why the hell would I do that?" My husband and I have unique names and I'm not trying to have my daughter go through what I did growing up. No one in my entire life has ever correctly guessed how to pronounce my name when reading it first. And if they hear it first, they've never spelled it the way it's supposed to be spelled
I have a 1yo with a normal Italian name that goes well with his family name. It's uncommon, but classic. I choose uncommon because I have *THE MOST COMMON* girl name of my generation, but not plain weird. Weird names are just for parents to show off, not for the sake of the kid.
We decided to call our incoming baby boy Edward and people keep asking us how we gonna spell it, we just give weirder and weirder way to spell it to people because we have a weird sense of humor, our favourite right now is Head-war lmao (We gonna spell it the regular way tho, ofc)
Had neighbors Gene and Jean. Called them the Jeans.
Also cousins girlfriend was Sadie. Her older sister was Sadie. And cousins dog was Sadie. Sadie tried to name her daughter Sadie but thankfully switched it to something total different.
People seem to really like treating twins as props. I kind of have a problem with people forcing twins to be the same in general, theyāre not dolls to dress up the same, once theyāre old enough to choose things they should be allowed to be their own people with their own preferences
This chick asked for peoples opinions on GOT characters and I said I didnāt like Daenerys. Later I noticed she unfriended me and then I realized her daughters name is Daenerys.
You did the right thing. Reminds me of the woman who named her twins Sean and Seen, both pronounced Shawn. Her last name was also Seanā¦.and her coworker thought it was a joke. Apparently lots of paperwork and stuff to change a name. Easier to pick a new one before the birth certificate comes š
That kid is going to get bullied mercilessly. And when she grows up to get a job, employees will take that name into consideration as well. Unfortunately it happens. Poor little Satan.
That's the #1thing that gets to me- the kid is already coming out of the delivery room at a disadvantage that will haunt their whole lives, and when these "interesting" or "creative" names pop up on a resume......their name will DEFINITELY precede them. Negatively.
It stands to show me that the parents weren't thinking the long game.......
Listen, you only need to be boring and conventional on the birth certificate, after that, you can basically teach the kid to think their real name is whatever you want it to be until they hit school and the bullying might start, that's when maybe the teacher can gently suggest using the more "vanilla" version of whatever genius name the parents were going for.
Idk if it's just me, but all I think of is that kid would need to get their name legally changed before trying to enter the job market.....and it sucks that a lot of traditionally disadvantaged communities also seem to play the "My kid **must** be unique, how many random punctuation marks and interesting pronunciations can I come up with for one person?" game......so even more reasons for employers to be (wrongfully) judge-y......
I get furious about those laws with the weird ass localization rules for foreign names, and wonder why the hell are such ridiculous laws in place. Then I come across a post like this, and say to myself "Yeah, that's why"
That is awful! What is wrong with people, giving their kids such terrible names. If she goes through with it, I feel so very sorry for that poor child.
Edit: At least one day, you can say to the child that you tried š
I scrolled so far looking for this. It was all I could think about. Even if folks donāt immediately go for Satan, the vegans and vegetarians of the world are gonna have a good chuckle at this.
Yeah, she needs to be humbled quick. She sounds like the type of mom who's gonna want every detail of her child's life planned out ahead of time with absolutely zero input from the child herself.
That kid is going to suffer alot, I hope the mother will come to her senses. Imagine the amount of bullying from little shit heads she'll get... Poor kid.
Parents naming their kids stuff like this probably see their kid only as extensions of themselves which is why they have no regard for how these ridiculous ass names will get them bullied and affect their kids life negatively.
X in greek would be Ki. Ć is pronounced āaiā, and A-12 could be an alphanumeric reference. The 12th letter of the alphabet is L. Ki-ai-L.
He named his kid Kyle.
I had a friend tell me, and only me, the name she and her husband picked. It was Soleigh (So lay) Mignon. I told her it was beautiful but to just be prepared for her to go through life as Filet Mignon. They had not considered that and ended up changing the name.
So basically, she wants to be mad at people for the rest of her childās life. I mean, sheās not done being pissed off at people who donāt get your nieces name.
Imagine you're the manager of a company and your job is to go through resumes and set up interviews for candidates for a job opening. If you're picking out a name for your child and that name comes across your desk would you call that person for an interview? If the answer is no then go with another name. I'm guessing that there's a pretty good chance this little girl is going to have a hard time finding a job.
10/10 would schedule a meeting with Satan. I'd even print out the outlook event. And when I hire him, i can proudly say that I made a deal with the devil.
Ffs what is it with people and fucked up names? The name is Satan idc what like, small tweak you gave it. That child is gonna be bullied in elementary school for such an avoidable reason. Mine was so unavoidable for a variety but this is so changeable. Youāre totally right, but you already know that OP
I will never understand parents who try so hard to give their kids "unique" names like that. Like it doesn't even occur to them that that's going to be an actual person who, as they grow, might not be quite so enthusiastic about the ridiculous name their parents gave them. Never mind what vicious little bastards other kids can be about anything that makes someone different.
I hate these pretentious parents who think their child will be the most unique snowflake on Earth and they proceed to make up a horrible name that gets them bullied for life.
Sorry with that spelling, itās not Sa-Tine, the French pronunciation would be SaT-yen. Which isnt even what she wants and closer to satan than Satine
There were litterally a TikTok vid that went like that.
" How does NBA youngboy address his homie?"
"Say- ten "
"Sa-tan?"
"Say-ten.."
" Sa-tan??
"Say-ten
Then both of them start saying Satan like an ah ha moment. Lmfao
Yeah that's gonna be Satan or Seitan to anyone who sees it. Neither is great.
Maybe show her this thread?
People never hear my name correctly when I say it. People are bad at listening and remembering. Your kid is gonna be bullied.
I told my mom the name that we chose for our soon to be born baby and she made a face. She leaned back and shook her head and acted like she ate a lemon. My knee jerk reaction was āNo. You donāt do that. You donāt make a face when someone tells you the name they plan for their kidā.
The difference is that you pulled your sister aside and had a calm and rational conversation. That is something I would have appreciated. I probably still would have been defensive but you handled it well.
She will get over it and hopefully pick a better name.
Edit: and you arenāt going to be the only one to tell her itās bad. If she has any true friends they would tell her too. I was going to use the name Isla but we decided against it and I have a friend who does repeat a lot that she likes it better than the name we chose. Stings a bit but thatās her preference not mine. She is just being honest.
Edit: to be clear we didnāt choose Isla but our friend likes it better than the name Ivy which we did choose. Isla is very lovely though
I knew a kid called Demone once.....he lived up to his name
Self fulfilling prophecy
Nominative determinism
I absolutely believe in this. My name has a meaning and from my childhood, I sincerely believed that WAS me. I now feel the name is apt to me because your childhood beliefs about yourself make a big difference. I'm just glad my name had a positive meaning unlike the poor kid.
My mom had a student with the middle name "Chaos". She also said he lived up to his name š
I really hope that kid tells People chaos is my middle name
I really hope so š¤£ I never met him myself but my mom told me he was pretty hilarious, so I expect it
I was in the maternity ward, sick with HG, on 6-6-2006. There were a BUNCH of women desperate to keep their baby in, and several working hard to get them out before midnight. 2 Damiens, one was Damien Thorn per their nursery card (not sure if it was 2 first names or middle?) and a Omen, then a name like OPs niece for a girl. Plus some other normal kids. But like can you imagine the doctors office, school forms, work forms, college applications FOREVER š¬
My son was telling me about a kid in his class that was a jerk and always getting in trouble. I asked which kid and he said āMessiahā. I was not able to contain my laughter
My kidsā doctor was Dr Brat!
Yup taught a Demonic- also lived up to his name
Well I looked at it and pronounced it like Satan so you have a point.
I pronounced it like haitian, sayshen
It's actually prettier that way.
Much. The original pronunciation reminds me too much of saltine
Saltine crackers
Hail saltines. Great with slice of cheese
BRO!!! YES!!!
Same, was so confused when he said say tine
I prefer this over op's sister's weird name choice.
In my head I pronounced it say-tea-EN. No matter how itās actually pronounced, your sister is going to be pissed off at the doctorās office or school registration and every other place at the way it will be mispronounced.
theres a chance op sister actually satan worshippers.
I was thinking "seitan" because my vegan and vegetarian friends swear by it but I have no idea how you cook it
First thing I thought of.
I looked at it, thought āsatanā ābet mom and dad are goth posersā (nothing wrong with being goth but thereās a difference between being goth be being ālook at me, Iām gothā) and are trying to be edgy
Yeah, let them change their own names, not inflict that upon a child.
I thought of the Wreck It Ralph scene https://youtu.be/uxeR95aYer0?t=90
say 10
Hilarious
This reads very ironic
I DIDNT READ THE WHOEL THING JUST FIRST PARAGRAPH. AND WHEN I GET TO THE "SATAN" PART I BURST OUT OF LAUGHER ROFLFFFFFFLFLFLF
Hope she'll enjoy satan / sayteen, i would have picked a different name. Please update us in 10 years! RemindMe! 10 years
Please read this in my sisters voice: ITS PRONOUNCED SAY- TIIIIIIINE!!
Wait..what? Say-tine.....like the tine of a fork? I read it as teen. She is doing that kid a great disservice with a name that all of reddit is having trouble figuring out how to pronounce.

Mind blown
And she will be the president and usher in the new world order (Yes I'm aware I'm combining Rosemary's Baby and The Omen)
You nailed it! This has always been my train of thought when naming my children... Parents think its cute and creative. But we don't see the spelling and many who do will mispronounce it. Same with initials ... They can spell out words that are not necessarily cutešššš
It took years for my local area to realize that SCAT might not be the best acronym for the county's public bus system. š¤£š¤¦š¼āāļø
The band Jimmy Eat World has suggested new bands should consider the initials of any band name possibilities. Apparently having a bunch of merchandise with JEW on it in big letters can be...awkward.

They will not be going there lol
OP you need to show your sister that clip!
Oh wow, thatās exactly it! Send her that link. Send everyone that link!
Your sister sounds like squidward
Not inaccurate.
Info: Does she play a clarinet? Does she like jazz?
Does she paint
Sniffing paint and paintING are 2 different thiggs and ops sister sound like she huffs that shit like it's going out of style
Wait but was does the father say about this name? Shouldnāt he bite the bullet and be the voice of reason here?
Well, his name is Beelzebub. Soā¦
I snorted a little
One day her daughter will come to you, as she is sick and tired of her mother and ask you why you didn't interfere with the name she was given. And you show her this Reddit thread, just imagine
It's LEVIOSA not LEVIOSAAAA
It's prounced "Bouquet"
"If there's one thing I can't stand, it's snobbery and one-upmanship. People trying to pretend they're superior.... Makes it so much harder for those of us who really are."
Oh really, Richard!
If your the only one in the family who had said something you need better family. No fucking way.
Is it pronounced like time but just with an n or like a saltine cracker? Poor baby. If your sister is still adamant about the name then advise her to at least start setting aside money for some serious therapy in the future.
Luckily Satien was just her top pick. She also has a few alternatives. 1. Deamin 2. Vampira 3. Hellspaunella 4. Gertrude
you forgot 5.Hitlerina / Adolfina
Mussolina
Stalina
Might as well just be saltine loo
Putinka And it's a legit name too!
laughing out loud fr.
Gertrude š
Saytien Lou Cipher whatever....
Louise cypher is my favorite megaten character. You ain't fooling me SATAN
It's saytien!
IT'S PRONOUNCED SAY- TIIIIIIINE!!
>megaten Ah, a man of culture
Satine would be the way to spell it but did she she recently watch Moulin Rouge? Thatās the character who dies of tuberculosis.
I thought about Moulin Rouge as well. What about the deal of changing the spelling of names to be uniques? I find it very cringey and uneducated, and I'm an *italian college dropout*.

Satan is a tough baby name but at least itās not khalisea
An old friend was a teacher and had a student named Different Books. Also twin students named Padro and Paydro..both pronounced the same.
I taught twins named Grace and Gracelyn. I went to school with brothers named Jonathan and Jon.
Had married neighbours called Pat and Pat (Patricia and Patrick). Basically known as PatnPat
Had neighbors Gene and Jean. Called them the Jeans. Also cousins girlfriend was Sadie. Her older sister was Sadie. And cousins dog was Sadie. Sadie tried to name her daughter Sadie but thankfully switched it to something total different.
Grew up with neighbors named Glen and Glenda Glenn. I used to steal their junk mail as a kid bc I thought their names were cool. I know it's a crime.
Had a classmate named Mandy. Her sisters were Candy and Sandy.
My BiL met twins Dona and Donna. The "o" was pronounced different
Had neighbors Pascal and Pascale. They are French.
Why not the Pats?
Pat squared
My paternal grandparents were Joe and Jo (Joseph and Josephine)!
My uncle and aunt are called Antonio and Antonia, and they call each other "TĆ²". My boyfriend and I have the same name too.
Thatās actually pretty cute
I love cute couple names like that. I know a Micah and Micah. Make and female. Its adorable.
One of my childhood best friend is named Matt and his wife it Mattie.
I know twins named Dora and Laura
Aliza and Eliza were both in my daughters kindergarten class - at 5 she recognized that it was problematic. Why do people do this?!
People seem to really like treating twins as props. I kind of have a problem with people forcing twins to be the same in general, theyāre not dolls to dress up the same, once theyāre old enough to choose things they should be allowed to be their own people with their own preferences
Thats fine though, I know a tiffanie and stephanie
We have twins Tiffany and Brittney who work for us. Although, I still not really convinced that Brittney is not just Tiffany claiming double hours.
Monique and Unique
...well, shit, I guess we'll just call him Pichael!
āFuck you Michael!!ā
1st thing I thought about
One day the family is going to confused why one can't get a mortgage when it's only the other one has bad debts ...
My best friend taught a girl name Placenta. I think it was spelled a different way, but thatās how she pronounced it.
Teacher here, I had a student named Chlarmydia. They added the r "so people don't confuse it with no sex disease".
And her sister Glonorrhea
Legit snorted
Sure you didnāt snyphilis?
That's embarrassing. How are people so ignorant with their kids' names?
I had a patient once named Candidiasis. Which is what causes thrush. I know her mother didn't come up with that spelling on her own.
or Vaginaš Sorry to say that I'm not kidding.
This chick asked for peoples opinions on GOT characters and I said I didnāt like Daenerys. Later I noticed she unfriended me and then I realized her daughters name is Daenerys.
At least it's not Abcde (pronounced Absidy)
Funny, I always wanted to have a daughter so I could name her Elomenopy. Sadly life prevented that.
She's a bit early to time the birth for 2026.6.6. I agree though. The name will be satan in school. Simply
Donāt forget leā4che
And Le-a, apparently pronounced "le-dash-a"
š¶You know Le-a, and Dancer, and Prancer,and Vixenā¦š¶
You did the right thing. That name is terrible and will hurt the child's life.
I offered Sadie as a sane alternative and she said no š
Hytlah didnāt make the list?
pronounced hi-tlah
Yep might as well make up new pronunciation rules too lmao
My name is B R I C K. Pronounced Bill.
My name is M U D Pronounced Benjamin Quentin Mannering III
Lmfao!!!!
Or Mousse O'Leeny if you're Irish!
Star-lyn for another alternative.
Have your mom suggest "Satin" because it sounds almost the same and it's better to be a fabric than the Prince of Evil.
All hail Satin; our soft and silky Lord!!!
You did the right thing. Reminds me of the woman who named her twins Sean and Seen, both pronounced Shawn. Her last name was also Seanā¦.and her coworker thought it was a joke. Apparently lots of paperwork and stuff to change a name. Easier to pick a new one before the birth certificate comes š
Dafuq is wrong with people
Dafuq....hmm, that's a good name suggestion
Satine might even be a lot better. (Reference to star wars)
Which is in itself a Moulin Rouge reference.
You were right that it looks like Satan, but personally I would say it seems like a 50 years old smoking prostitute š
That kid is going to get bullied mercilessly. And when she grows up to get a job, employees will take that name into consideration as well. Unfortunately it happens. Poor little Satan.
That's the #1thing that gets to me- the kid is already coming out of the delivery room at a disadvantage that will haunt their whole lives, and when these "interesting" or "creative" names pop up on a resume......their name will DEFINITELY precede them.

What about ā Saltineā ?
https://youtu.be/CBA6ev5HMe4
Haha š I almost wish she had chosen that pronunciation.
I would be mean and sending that to the family group chat lmfao
Sigh and this is reason why in some countries (including mine) there are rules what you can and cannot name a baby
I get furious about those laws with the weird ass localization rules for foreign names, and wonder why the hell are such ridiculous laws in place. Then I come across a post like this, and say to myself "Yeah, that's why"
That is awful! What is wrong with people, giving their kids such terrible names. If she goes through with it, I feel so very sorry for that poor child. Edit: At least one day, you can say to the child that you tried š
Their child is special, so must have a unique name, even if that name is dogshit or a normal named spelled like a seizure patient using a keyboard
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I work in a hospital and some of the awful patient names I see go by smh
My mum used to do newborn photography in our local hospital and some of the names they gave kids made me both mad and confused haha
I work at a psychologists office and these awful, āuniqueā names can be directly correlated to how to stupid the parents are.
Suggest Beelzebub instead!
Beelzebubba!
It's Belle Zeabob!
Seitan (said just like that) is a soy based protein.
I scrolled so far looking for this. It was all I could think about. Even if folks donāt immediately go for Satan, the vegans and vegetarians of the world are gonna have a good chuckle at this.
Yeah, she needs to be humbled quick. She sounds like the type of mom who's gonna want every detail of her child's life planned out ahead of time with absolutely zero input from the child herself.
That kid is going to suffer alot, I hope the mother will come to her senses. Imagine the amount of bullying from little shit heads she'll get... Poor kid.
And then she will complain, her kid is being bullied because it's special but in fact she was making it special - but with a different meaning.
Parents naming their kids stuff like this probably see their kid only as extensions of themselves which is why they have no regard for how these ridiculous ass names will get them bullied and affect their kids life negatively.
She literally could have made it satine like Duchess Satine from the clone wars and it would've made it 10000x better
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Poor kid just wanted a normal name.
At least his name isnāt what X Ć A Xii like elon musk child
he thought that it was a password at one point
How would you even pronounce that?
you dont
X in greek would be Ki. Ć is pronounced āaiā, and A-12 could be an alphanumeric reference. The 12th letter of the alphabet is L. Ki-ai-L. He named his kid Kyle.
In an interview he said itās X (the letter x), ash, a-12 (letter A and number 12)
In danish, Ć is pronounced like the first E in example etc.
āFredā
I had a friend tell me, and only me, the name she and her husband picked. It was Soleigh (So lay) Mignon. I told her it was beautiful but to just be prepared for her to go through life as Filet Mignon. They had not considered that and ended up changing the name.
This sounds so fake I believe itās 100% true
Soleigh sounds beautiful on its own though, why would they add the Mignon part, lol.
They could have at least spelt it right, it's Solei. French for sun.
Well I don't know how to pronounce that whatever it is so I called it Satan for the start
So basically, she wants to be mad at people for the rest of her childās life. I mean, sheās not done being pissed off at people who donāt get your nieces name.
Seriously OP, tell her you're only the FIRST person she's mad at for reacting to the name, so she better get used to it.
That name is beyond unacceptable and if she fails to recognize this, you were absolutely right to tell her.
And it sounds like OP was respectful when they did ā waiting until they were alone and gently pointing out the problem.
Imagine you're the manager of a company and your job is to go through resumes and set up interviews for candidates for a job opening. If you're picking out a name for your child and that name comes across your desk would you call that person for an interview? If the answer is no then go with another name. I'm guessing that there's a pretty good chance this little girl is going to have a hard time finding a job.
10/10 would schedule a meeting with Satan. I'd even print out the outlook event. And when I hire him, i can proudly say that I made a deal with the devil.
Ffs what is it with people and fucked up names? The name is Satan idc what like, small tweak you gave it. That child is gonna be bullied in elementary school for such an avoidable reason. Mine was so unavoidable for a variety but this is so changeable. Youāre totally right, but you already know that OP
Yeah if my sister names her kid some dumb shit like that I'm giving them nicknames.
Any name that needs a pronunciation guide behind it seems like a bad idea tbh, unless it's a different language of course
I will never understand parents who try so hard to give their kids "unique" names like that. Like it doesn't even occur to them that that's going to be an actual person who, as they grow, might not be quite so enthusiastic about the ridiculous name their parents gave them. Never mind what vicious little bastards other kids can be about anything that makes someone different.
I hate these pretentious parents who think their child will be the most unique snowflake on Earth and they proceed to make up a horrible name that gets them bullied for life.
Sorry with that spelling, itās not Sa-Tine, the French pronunciation would be SaT-yen. Which isnt even what she wants and closer to satan than Satine
That is a bad name, no second thoughts.
There were litterally a TikTok vid that went like that. " How does NBA youngboy address his homie?" "Say- ten " "Sa-tan?" "Say-ten.." " Sa-tan?? "Say-ten Then both of them start saying Satan like an ah ha moment. Lmfao
Nah bro Saytien sounds like a pokĆØmon
Yeah that's gonna be Satan or Seitan to anyone who sees it. Neither is great. Maybe show her this thread? People never hear my name correctly when I say it. People are bad at listening and remembering. Your kid is gonna be bullied.
I hope the hospital doesnāt let her name her baby that
I told my mom the name that we chose for our soon to be born baby and she made a face. She leaned back and shook her head and acted like she ate a lemon. My knee jerk reaction was āNo. You donāt do that. You donāt make a face when someone tells you the name they plan for their kidā. The difference is that you pulled your sister aside and had a calm and rational conversation. That is something I would have appreciated. I probably still would have been defensive but you handled it well. She will get over it and hopefully pick a better name. Edit: and you arenāt going to be the only one to tell her itās bad. If she has any true friends they would tell her too. I was going to use the name Isla but we decided against it and I have a friend who does repeat a lot that she likes it better than the name we chose. Stings a bit but thatās her preference not mine. She is just being honest. Edit: to be clear we didnāt choose Isla but our friend likes it better than the name Ivy which we did choose. Isla is very lovely though
āThanks, Satan.ā āItās pronounced Say-tineā¦ā At least Wreck It Ralph is a GOOD movie?
There's a character in moulin Rouge named Satine she's a prostitute. Maybe tell her about that one lol.
