Cloureen - Baby name - Page 3

Chlorine. Having DH talk with his brother sounds like a great idea.

And what's wrong with wearing socks with sandals? What am I supposed to do when it's cold outside, let my toes freeze??

i can't think of a single name I have ever hated more. to be honest.

[hibiscus mum]

Does she have pica? Maybe her pregnancy craving has been Clorox.

I always told family that I was naming my kids after my pregnancy cravings. So that meant Little Debbie for a girl and Joe Louis for a boy.

My Grandmother had a distant cousin, who's parents immigrated from Latvia or Ugoslavia or something like that, moved to the US, spoke very little English, and promptly named their newborn daughter the prettiest sounding word they knew of... Latrine. No joke.

Um, ok if your name is really nice but it rhymes with something terrible (Mulva?). Or it is nice but unusual. Or it is not common in english speakers. Or it has a meaning, but that meaning is neutral to positive.

...But chlorine? Really? That doesn't stick out as a name that has strikes an unpleasant chord?

I think I would take an underhanded way to talk her out of it. Start pronouncing it "Chlorine". Like "What are you thinking for Chlorine's middle name?" "What color will you paint Chlorine's room?" Maybe she'll realize what it sounds like. And if not, maybe she will start a new trend of elemental children's names... Antimony, Lithium, Magnesium, Helium, etc.

Or maybe she and her DH will go home and laugh hysterically that you actually think they are going to name their child Chlorine.

Sorry, but it sounds like the swimming pool chemicals.

I remember doing a little uke when I read the name Renesme. I was thinking "Really, is that the best name you can come up with?"

Is Kharlotte pronounced like car lot?

[bubbamummy]

I knew someone (NOT a friend) named Boris ans he named one of his daughters 'Borichele', like Boris and Michele together. I thought that was strange, but I honestly like it better than Claurene.

My goat's name is Boris :P

Oh wow, no, why on earth would you think that?
It's pronounced Charlotte, but, you know, it has a K to be different.

This is quite possibly turning into the Best Thread Ever. But hey, what's wrong with wearing socks with sandals? I don't like my toes to be naked, okay?

[vbactivist]

It is prinounced Chlorine. And actually, when I first heard it, I thought it was pretty. But then it daned on me, that it is already a word - and not something like Sage or Willow or Summer. So, yes my husband is going to talk to his brother. THey are NOt kidding. They like unusual names in her family.

[momoftworedheads]

Why don't they just use the initials from those names and come up with something else? Naming a child to sound like pool chemicals - not so good!

Good luck - I hope your BIL does not get upset with your DH!

Take care!!
