Babies aren’t put on this earth to have professional names. I understand why a parent wouldn’t want to name their kid something absurd, but if a kid is named something that society at large has decided is acceptable, who are we to make them feel wrong about that? I wouldn’t name my kid Hunter, Dallas, …

Parents refuse to name their baby ‘Henry’ after his paternal grandfather, grandmother berates them for not following family tradition of naming male heirs ‘James’ or ‘Henry’: ‘She said I was breaking a tradition that went back hundreds of years’
I’ve never understood naming the men in your family the same thing, generation after generation. It’s confusing, and IMHO, it dilutes the significance of the name. If everyone is John, then the original John is just one of many. I like passing down family names through middle names. My mom’s middle name is «Wainwright,» after …

Names are curious things. They carry a lot of weight to them, even when we don’t want them to. We might hate our names and spend our whole lives shaking them off. But our parents had a different idea. They probably spent a lot of time and energy picking out our names, making them meaningful, …

There are so many ways that naming your kids can go wrong. Obviously, there are names that you wouldn’t want to give a kid individually (Iago, Adolph, Ebenezer, etc), but naming all of your kids related things can be a whole different can of worms. If done well, your kids could be like the three …

Boyfriend’s mom refuses to call son’s partner by his given gender-neutral name, partner snaps at her and calls her bigoted: ‘I am half Asian […] it’s a unisex name that isn’t short for anything’
A name is an incredibly powerful thing. It affects how we feel about ourselves, how others see us, and how we make our way through the world. If you go into a job interview and make a great impression, but your name reminds the hiring manager of their evil stepmother, then you might just lose …

As the women in my family get older, a big topic of conversation among them is what they want their grandma name to be. Most of them feel like they’re too young for the traditional monikers of «grandma» or «nanny» or even worse, «granny.» They want to get inventive with their names, coming up with …

Changing your name is a huge decision. It seems like more and more young women are sticking with their given surname after marriage instead of automatically changing it to their husband’s, and I’m totally here for it. I really like the name I was blessed with, and I probably wouldn’t change it unless I got …

Mom tells daughter she wants her future grandchildren to call her «Honey» instead of «Grandma,» daughter pushes back because of it’s romantic implications: ‘She and her husband call each other Honey’
There are so many ways to come to a grandparent nickname. Nowadays, most grandparents will not settle to merely be «grandma» or «grandpa,» either because they want to be more unique than that or because being a grandma or a grandpa means that you’re officially old. I know so many people who call their grandmother …
