HelpRe: Love the kid; hate the name
in reply to a message by kudriashkajo
I can separate my feelings about a name from my feelings about the person. But I would not ever think to tell the person what my feelings on their name if it's negative.
Case in point, when my sister was pregnant she announced she was naming her baby Alora Corrin (pn like Corinne, but I couldn't convince her to change the spelling). My mom and I didn't hide the fact that we didn't like the name at all. She got Alora (well, Elora, but she didn't like that spelling or pronunciation) from a movie.
My niece is now 5. I love her but I still don't care for her name.
