It's a boy

[FitnessBrat]

:rofl: at the internets

Back on track...

Congrats Shibby!

[Shibby]

i would bet that i am more cultured then you my friend. you have never seen a melting pot like NJ/NYC.

my comment has nothing to do with culture or region. if you wanted to name your son Apple Humperdink I would also tell you it sucks ass.

Well there is honest and there is rude. For what ever ignorant reason you feel the name sucks, you are making fun of my son. I guess if one day you move up from just having some dog and actually having children you might understand the ignorance in your comments.

I think this comment is ridiculous. Bouncer doesn't like the name. So what? He isn't making fun of your son or personally attacking your son. He just simply doesn't like the name. If you named your pet hamster "Borat" and he said he didn't like the name, would you be offended? I understand that you are being a protective Dad, but I completely disagree with the statement that Bouncer is making fun of your son.

I think the name is interesting myself, and I like it, but from the little bit I know about it, I will say this, it appears that your wife is the one making all the decisions. She's polish? And you are American, but the Kid is getting a complete polish name? Why not have a polish first name and an american middle name? You might as well just be a sperm donor - sounds like the wifey is runnin' shit.

And just for the record, if you called my dog "some dog" I'd be fucking pissed. You are acting as if you are above someone because you have a child and they have a dog. You can love a dog just as much as you can a kid. I'm sorry for butting in, but I think the "some dog" comment got me steamed and I felt like expressing myself. Good Luck

now that is rough. shibby has a right to be offended by that, hell i am offended by that. not really sure why you would go there.

[Bouncer]

a name does not define a person by any means. it is simply a title. the reason i made my comment in the fashion that i did was because you had just come up with it and i didn't think that you would be as offended as you were.

my thinking in making the comment was truly about him being picked on etc.. as everyone well knows, kids can be rough. when you have something that is different and far from the norm the worse kids will be. not saying that everyone should name there son "bob" but you know what i mean.

shibby, really bro my intention was not and would never be to put your son down. i have known you for a long time and think of you as a friend. i would never purposely try to offend or hurt a friend.

I honestly like the name. One of the best names of the kids at my camp is Stowe. Setting your child apart from others does not mean he will be picked on. It will be his attitude and ability to cope that will set him apart.

CONGRATS BRO

[wnabeabeast]

Hey Shibb congrats to you and your wife bro, I know what I say doesn't make any difference but I think it's cool that you picked a name that is different from an average name, I have one of those names that no body gets it when I say it , in fact after I say my name I have to spell it to people every single time but guess what? it makes them remember me. :D
But I do undrestand the Bouncer's point too so I can't get mad at him. I named my daughter with American first name and Turkish middle name, oh and of course Turkish last name. :D

[coffee-guy]

Congratulations bro - can't believe you're already on your second - time sure does fly :mad:....

[Bouncer]

time sure does fly :mad:....

all you old people say the same thing. :D

you may be right but it a pretty well known fact that kids pick on other kids especially when they are different. the red head kid, the kid that has old clothes, the kid that cry's, etc.. kids can be tough.

again, i am not saying that he should purposely try and make him blend in with an "American name". being different is what is great about this country, we can be as different as we want.

i was just thinking about how kids can be mean and i typed it out in a way that was a bit ignorant and stupid.

Yes, I am polish and he is american. We gave our first son polish first and middle name; therefore, we decided to do the same with the other one. I don't think that having an american middle name would make a big difference, do you always say your middle name when you introduce yourself? It is just a piece of "document" that makes you little bit different, that's it.
Just for your records, Shibby loved the name and he made the decision together with me. I don't remember me searching through the names and making him agree to whatever I picked.

[mindstar]

you know, when i was a kid, i loved having a common name, because i wasn't different; now, as an adult, I wish my name was more unique. My gf, who is Slovenian, is the opposite. She hated her unusual name as a child, but loves it now.

Just to be clear on my side, the some dog comment was my way of showing how things can sound when coming from the outside. I am sure you consider your dogs name a lot before you name it. It has a lot of personal meaning when you pick one. So when you tell someone what they like sucks and try to make them feel stupid for liking it, it will not sit well. Don't worry about it though, one thing isn't going to turn me away from here. :) Except if Rado comes back :D
