Dramula as name?

[Shalom23]

My daughter is expecting her first child. Knows it's a girl. She loves the name Dramula. I'm conflicted as I think its made up. Should I say something?

OMG its fcking horrific. I'm so sorry OP but this is just awful.
Please try to convince her not to- that poor poor kid

One of my children’s names I made up, has a beautiful meaning in Latin.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with ‘made up’ names. Dramula I’m not too keen on but prefer it over say Tracey. Does it have a meaning/ translation?

Imagine telling people your name. Spell Dracula with an m instead of c 🤣. I hope it's just her hormones

I just googled Dramula and found this, OP you have to stage an intervention here. Why is your dd fixed on this word?

That's dreadful. Poor child will be called Dracula.

Maybe she’s craving alcohol and fancies a wee Dram? I think it’s a ridiculous name but each to their own!

It is parents decision I wouldn't get involved, very likely they will change their mind. If not nothing you say will make a difference but may cause tension between you.

hopefully like alot of us the baby wikll be born and the name insanity will subside.

Doesn't always happen though tbf

I 100% would say something. It’s awful and setting the poor child up for a life of ridicule.

I can not believe this is actually real.

Shes planning on the shortened version Ully, is this better?

No it absolutely is not better. It is horrible.
but i still think this is not real

Sounds like a cross between an alcoholic drink and a vampire

I also somehow think canula. There's a medical connotation. It is the only name I've heard on here where I feel compelled to say don't do it! It's beyond dreadful

She likes the NN Ully

Ursula?

Oddly enough DH and I were talking about some of the pregnancy-hormone ridden wierd names I was into when PG with DS1.

I still think Hebe would have been good though if he was a girl.

I was seriously into Icarus for a bit.

For the love of god no. That poor child will get bullied relentlessly.
What about the future, uni, job interviews?
It’s like dracula or drambuie
Normally i think if a parent likes it’s then that’s it, but this will lead to years of torture for the poor little mite.
This is fantastic for your daughter ( finally a long awaited child!) hopefully once little one is here she will realise, or you will need to say something.

I think this thread is a wind up

This makes the 'Drake' thread look sensible!

Parents choice of name for their child is absolutely their choice, but I do agree with what others have said, that you have to think of the effect of the name on the child.
Baby will most likely be a prime target for being picked on when she gets to school. Kids can be even more cruel than adults sometimes! Whilst they don't judge, they just go straight for the name calling!
On the total flip side, she could be playing you and like a pp said, she could just be saying this during pregnancy and then give you the proper name once baby arrives.
We've nicknamed our baby 'Nige' and whether it's a boy or a girl, the name will stay until baby arrives and then we will announce what we have chosen as I've mentioned a few names to family members already and because it's not to their taste I got shit for it, so we have taken the decision not to tell anyone.
If I were you, I'd just leave it. I don't like my mom interfering too much and she's already been very judge, so whilst I'm trying to include her the best I can, during my pregnancy, there are certain things that won't be discussed, as she and other members of my family have always got to have their opinion. Given the pregnancy hormones, it could really badly for you if you say something to her.
😬😬😬

She'll need to change her surname to eithe Addams or Munster 😉

Dramula the alcoholic Scottish vampire?

Not only should you ‘say something’, I really think you ought to stage an intervention.

Like others say, pregnancy hormones/enthusiasm can produce some whacked out name suggestions. Pretty sure I had a couple...was playing with Frost for a girl for a few days for example. Hopefully she’ll go off Dramula in moment of clarity soon.

It has made us laugh here in my house. She must be stopped.

I thought you miss spelt Dracula 🙈 I am all for mothers picking the name and people not getting involved. But this is the one exception!! I don’t think her dd will enjoy being called that in school at all

Perhaps if she has a son in future she would consider Balonz? That has a similar feel to it.

@pictish I quite like the name Frost!

I feel this has to be a wind up but I can't figure out who's being wound up here - us or the OP.

If my daughter chose that as a name I'd ask her if she'd lost her mind and point out what a horrible name it is
