Re: Everyone...
i am reather new here. and i have been to other baby name sights, but it seems like the people here are very rude with their comments. noone should expect that everyone is going to love every name they do, but there is a nice way and a mean way to express your differences.

"Rudeness"I'd like to address the issue of percieved rudeness on the boards. Personally, I agree that some people on these boards can be blunt. I also think some people can be very fluffy in their comments and offer no more than a yes or no opinion on a name as well. Personally, I would prefer the latter rather than the former. Even if someone is "rude" about their comments, at least they are honest. Perhaps that's not the response a stranger off the street would give, but it is the honest reaction of someone online, and a reaction your child is likely to experience witht the name.

"this means that you want people to just give yes or no answers.
how about instead of just telling someone how horrible name is give them a good reason and give them some other ideas. instead of just making them feel like the stuidest creature that ever walked the earth
