To have told my niece I'm not mad on her choice of name feel a bitch

[Everythingwillbeok]

My niece has a little boy, 6 with a "normal name" popular and nice.
She's due in about 7 weeks I think with a baby girl. She lives about an hour away so don't see her loads, we've just chatted on the phone and she's mentioned her choice of name. I really wish I'd have said oh that's cute or something and as we were on the phone could probably have got away with it.

But I think I went quiet and said "oh right....Mmmmm I'm not mad" argh I feel like a cow, it's nothing to do with me.

My sister(her mother) has just text me saying I believe you don't like daughters choice of name, she's offended.

How can I put this right, we aren't particularly close but I really don't want to make anyone feel bad,especially when pregnant.

It's just a silly name, sorry but it is.

It's such a sexual name though. I think somebody needs to protect the child from having that name. This goes way, way beyond not liking the name Kelsey-rae or something like that. I would die if I'd inadvertently given my name with a sleazy sexual meaning.

No, she originally didn't post the name, she was writing about how she felt guilty at upsetting her niece. We forced her to reveal the name!

Oh FFS, OK then - Kandy raine is aa beautiful name. No one will ever prejudge her for it, or take the piss because it means fucking spunk, and she can be as inconspicuous as she wishes to be.

Happy now?

Ha, ha, ha.......

Bored by her own success then

Pram in the hallway was from 2009. I did a search and all the pictures have been removed from imageshack now

It was brilliant. People saying, "oh, it can't be that bad" then seeing what a mahoosive chariot / fire hazard it was!

If she is offended by your tame reaction to such a ridiculous name, she had better grow thicker skin because others will not be as subtle about it. Tell her that.

The ethics of commenting on a proposed name are different from a bestowed name though Maryz, wouldn't you say?

Besides, there's bound to be a tipping point somewhere between Jane and Zaphod Beeblebrox where a raised eyebrow becomes a chortle.

Late to this post....my first thought was that it was a version of Candy Crush (Kandy Krush or similar)
But the spunk thing is also significant
What is the little boys name?

There are some right twats twits on MN these days.

Hi guys been at a fundraiser tonight at my local cricket club, sorry to those who thought id posted and ran. I love MN but so many posters are so suspicious, I didn't post on a bloody Friday night at all I posted yesterday afternoon (as now it's early sat morning) when I'd spoke to my neice on the phone to say I feel awful.
A few posters asked for the name, I gave it.
How the fuck is that being a troll? I've been on MN ages at least 5 years and not name changed once, not really the behaviour of a troll is it?

Did you tell her what the name means?

Lol, aeverythingWillBeOk. If you have been on MN for 5 years you have to agree that it wasn't surprising that posters thought you were a troll I mean Kandy-Reighn or whatever it is is, umm, quite the name. I'm not condoning the troll hunters but it's a little bit understandable. You must have know that.

I suppose you should get the thread deleted if it really is going to be your nieces name. Unless you made some subtle changes to the story to make it less identifiable such as her name actually going to be Carmen Ruth or something...

Are you sure you are not being joshed?

No have I heck, I don't know myself not clicked on that link, something about sperm I'm guessing? From the posts following?
The thing is I felt shit as I said, I wasn't mad on the name didn't say it's a strippers name or its fecking awful ect.
But now I've got posts suggesting I've been banned?! Or that I was banned 12 pages ago?!
I've been out all evening after seeking advice this afternoon regarding making amends with DN over what I called a silly name, which I still think it is...but then it always ends up kicking off on MN why?? And tends to get nasty too. I havent Said anything further about the babies name at all to her or my sister,as I said they like it. So that's it.

OP I certainly don't think you're a troll. Some people always have their spear sharpened ready for the hunt though.

Don't delete the thread.

I so enjoyed the bit about in utero bullying.

Well thanks closer yeah it's a bloody weird name I wouldn't have said I wasn't mad to DN if it was Jessica or such like would I?
