awesome! there can be so many ways to say a name!

good for them. names aren’t vocabulary words. they can be whatever you want them to be.

lol okay. no too tired to post a comment, though. okay.

cool, hope you never meet the kindergartener i worked with who was an absolute delight. i loved saying her name.

do you usually justify your name to people based on the meaning? or is it also possible someone likes the the sound of “na-vay” and ya, maybe thinks the spelling is cute too. should my athiest friend Michelle hate that her name is “gift from god”?

so, what names are appropriate for people then?

Why? unless you were named after someone because they were so special to your family, aren’t we all named because someone thought it sounded cool?

It’s actually Nevaeh. Kinda pretty if you here it: “Na-Vay”

the popularized name is actually “navaeh”. the poster is the one who spelt it wrong.

i can’t understand the disdain people have for “creative” names. “creative” names only sound different to people who have the same name as everyone else around them. jenny, joe, michael, and lindsay et. al. those names sound crazy as hell to people all over the world. some names may have long roots and history, but…

dude, really? you can’t at all understand why people would want to “scream their ethnicity”? as opposed to be ashamed by it? some people like totally new original names—because why not? others want their name, or their childs name, to connect them to something bigger. I love that my name sets me apart, but also tells…

brilliant. I love when people insist on something that a quick google search will immediately debunk. wiki for the win.

are western societies not patriarchal?

isn’t he?

You’re saying “it’s her life and her story” but then you’re offering your own judgement and conclusion on her personal life and story. seems like we should either let her own it or not. I would find it a real violation if people were making public comments on my personal life—even if they say they think i should…

people were pointing out where she was being short sighted. and it was effective in bringing more knowledge out into the world. why hate on that?

Gwyneth’s kid is named moses but everyone is freaking out over Saint West (which i actually think is really cute). White folks always get away with unusual names in a way the rest of us never could.

your dog would be a perfect companion (i can tell). I’ve considered moving again (even though i just did 9 months ago) because my landlord won’t allow pets, but then i remember i live in the bay area and i don’t work for Uber so thats not possible.

so, as described in the article:

i have always folded socks and underwear because i like clothes laid out where i can see them. after a week they are no longer that organized, but i still go through the motions every time i do laundry. I know this makes me sound cray but i folded the kondo way and i will never go back. this has made me a) buy less…
