What would/will you name your children?

[DragonFreak]

boys: chuck, frank, byron, kotaro, hamtaro, klavier or herman.
girls: lyn, candice, Aya or anne marie.

Memories of childhood are returning

This, although I only played Heartbreak.

 

[Nabber]

because if not i really think you should just let her come to terms with it in her own time, without shaming her with pejorative phrasing like "grow up"

okay, fair enough

it's still a mark of immaturity though

if my memory serves, she's asexual. and even if she's not, there are plenty of reasons to be uncomfortable with sex and pregnancy and you shouldn't make fun of her for that

 

[Dr. Javelin]

i think i took her post wrong, and that what she really meant was "the idea of me getting pregnant freaks me out" as opposed to "pregnancy in general freaks me out"

 

[Stargatedalek]

oh I guess I should have mentioned those were all girl names I said, I`m not adopting any boys

You still shouldn't toss around "please grow up" and being "immature" for people who are uncomfortable for it, especially if they neither hetero nor homo. If I really meant that it's freaky, I would say, "it's freaky" but I obviously meant in my point of view by saying it freaks me out. But, the truth is, this stuff freaks me out in general. It doesn't turn me on. I'd rather stray away.

I can perfectly engage in a conversation with other adults dealing with this without cracking some sort of immature smile but this is just my opinion. I didn't choose it anyway.

BLOF you are a Chinese right
In my memory only Chinese have their Family name at the front, which you have.

That's true. Surnames always go in the front. But I'm rarely known by my Chinese name. My Chinese relatives are able to call me by my English name. Only if they write my name I think they write my Chinese name.

You mean like
I take my name as an example.
My name is 林晓琪, the English name is Lim Xiao Qi.
But some of the people didn't change their Chinese name, but add a name infront of their English name, like
Example: Daisy Lim Xiao Qi?

Is that what you mean, have two names?

Yep.

 

[Smg2daisy]

So people usually call you Sarah, but when they call you in Chinese they just call your full Chinese name which is 杨蓉
So your family name is Yang(杨), then your father is a Chinese.

No, only when they write it. They call me Sarah all other times.

Yes my dad is Chinese. However, my mom is French.

 

[Smg2daisy]

I see. So, you have a Chinese name, English name and a French name?

 

[Stargatedalek]

if and when we have kids were gonna create a whole generation of kids who wish they could have been around in the 90s to know what there name meant

alright, i apologize

i took it the wrong way, i thought you were saying the immature "ahh that stuff is freaky"

 

[Stargatedalek]

and I cant have kids, so thats how Im sure Ill have a girl, adoption

- I'm not having any boys

implying there is a choice in the matter

Implying I was serious. :P

Honestly though, I'd rather have boys than girls. I imagine they're like raising a puppy and I've done that before, whereas girls you need to worry about social constructs, periods, emotions, b*tching and I can barely deal with it myself, let alone somebody else.

Also, you can use IVF (well, specifically 'preimplantation genetic diagnosis') to determine the embryos gender so some couples use that to control the gender of their baby. Fun fact.

 

[Stargatedalek]

imagine learning your parents did that treatment on you, and you ended up being transgender, I`d be so pissed

i hate it when people tamper with life

 

[Zae]

Male: varron, karoth, zelkis.

female: veilxis, shalene, meia, yueisa, leilith.

Actually there is some choice. We have abortion (which is sometimes frowned upon or in some countries forbidden by law) or maybe selective seed transplantation (something with X or Y-chromosomes).

Honestly though, I'd rather have boys than girls. I imagine they're like raising a puppy and I've done that before, whereas girls you need to worry about social constructs, periods, emotions, b*tching and I can barely deal with it myself, let alone somebody else.

Boys also have their problems, not just girls.

Though having children in general can be Hell on Earth I've heard some say, and personally I don't see cheese in it either.

 

[Contra(dictory)]

your children are going to get bullied so hard

 

[Specific Neptune]

Bilbo Baggins and Winston Churchill <lastname>

yep that will happen

What do you mean control the gender of the baby? You don't mean getting an abortion if it's a boy, do you?

 

[Xluidi]

ok
first off: raising a boy is not like raising a dog at all, in fact in the early stages of childhood and such it's more or less the same as raising a girl: buying someone toys, giving him/her attention, helping him/her associate the values a normal person will have, etc.
Source: I am a fucking boy AND I helped raise my little brother AND I have helped raise 2 puppies in the last year.

second: Designer babies are not in any way advanced as to be able to modify the chromosomes the baby would have, which, as you probably know, is what determines the gender of a human being at birth. Right now they're only a method available to the extremely rich or famous, and even then it's only for extremely simple things like hair color. You can read more about it here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Designer_baby
