Dayiscoming2006 I agree that traditional spelling is best—I didn’t give that full thought prior to using the “yn” with my boys. I would think that your association could be delt with since it was distant enough and you loved the name.
Mayasmomma88 I really like Makeda and think it would be rare for anyone to question or know the meaning, so I say if you love it go for it!
Babysmurf I think Isla is beautiful and even ran it by my dh because I liked it so much! I have no idea on a good comeback, but you are right, once baby is born comments subside so I guess the only sure fire way to avoid comments is to keep it secret.
Veggieviola I X the names with negative associations right away…being a teacher makes that quite a long list but I don’t want to look at my child and have a negative connotation with their name.
Littegreenlady what a weird situation!
Ulybda312 I really like Mara but Lacramioara would be my least fav aside from the meaning it just seems like a big name—would you use a nickname?
We had our gender ultrasound on Monday and found out that after 3 boys we are having a girl! I’m excited and relieved on a number of fronts, naming being one. Unless we look at her and just can’t seem to call her Naomi then I believe it is the winner. Our back up is Esther but I doubt that Naomi will be outranked and I did already order a personalized bag J Anyone else know gender?
She gets her own unique name that honors her culture, shares mama's middle name and share's daddy's last name. Perfect!
