HelpRe: Still suffering from name regret-thoughts/advice appreciated (LONG)
in reply to a message by queenv
Thank you for your thoughts. I feel your sister's pain-it is tough to second guess yourself on something seemingly so important, and to have to aree with someone who has such different opinions.
I appreciate your thoughts. Your opinions on India are very similar to that of my DH-in his opinion he has no particular reason to name a child after India, so why would he? As for Katrina, my bigger concern is Trina, not Katie. Katya is pretty though. But I do worry everyone would think, why did she name her daughter after a hurricane? I already have an Isabel...that hurricane hit Va 5 months after my DD was born.

I think it's a bit silly for someone to think a child is named after a hurricane. After all, the names given to hurricanes have been in use FAR longer than we have been naming hurricanes. (I wonder if someday there will be hurricanes named Jayden and McKynleigh. I'd say I hope not, but maybe all the people who think Katrina, Andrew, Gloria or Hugo are named after hurricanes won't name their kids Jayden etc. Heh.)

Probably a few people named their kids after hurricanes, if the kids were born during or almost during the storms. I heard of a lady who gave birth in a storm shelter during Hurricane Isabel and named her baby Isabel, for instance.
But probably most people directly affected by a bad hurricane would not want to name babies after the storm. Nor do I think anybody would naturally assume that a particular baby was named after a storm, unless the name itself was very uncommon and only became widely known due to being the name of a bad storm.

I agree with you, but I am afraid he won't. And it's not so much the "she was named after" for him I imagine as the association with a relatively recent negative event.
