I don't know why I spelled it with an I hahah.</p> <p>@tororojo: same. I never thought Jacobi was that out there which is why I loved it. But Minnesotans are so uncultured. No one has EVER heard of Jacoby Ellsbury or Jacoby Shaddix! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coworker-commented-on-baby-name#post-833963 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 17:33:56 +0000 Ash 833963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sheesh... Who says that!<br /> Everyone just has to have an opinion. Humph </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coworker-commented-on-baby-name#post-833915 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 17:12:37 +0000 Cherrybee 833915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What a twit. FWIW, Jacoby (with a y) was on my boy's list! DH vetoed it but only because the lead singer of Papa Roach is called Jacoby and DH hates that band!! Parker's cute too! Now Mattress.... that's on a whole other level - not saying whether I like it or not for fear of being *that* jerk!! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coworker-commented-on-baby-name#post-833903 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 17:08:24 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 833903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so rude! i love the names parker AND jacobi! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coworker-commented-on-baby-name#post-833854 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 16:51:46 +0000 tororojo 833854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Super rude! Parker is a fairly common name. And I have known a couple of Jacobis, although that one's def not as common. People need to learn to not say everything that pops into their heads. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coworker-commented-on-baby-name#post-833817 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 16:38:18 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 833817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omgggg that's so rude!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coworker-commented-on-baby-name#post-833765 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 16:21:47 +0000 Mrs. Pen 833765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: aww that is cute!!</p> <p>ETA: I get negative comments about Cobi's name ALL THE TIME. My brother not-so-subtly hates it and takes any opportunity to tell me so. I mean come on - the kid is 15 months old - his name isn't going to change! you can seriously stop b*tching about it when it has no direct affect on you. My grandma calls him "Jack-o-bee" and my grandpa and uncle call him "Jake" because they don't like his name. PEOPLE. *slaps forehead* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coworker-commented-on-baby-name#post-833690 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 15:58:49 +0000 rachiecakes 833690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: so messed up, I think they're both great names. classic but unique as well.<br /> I loove the name Clementine and totally planned on naming my baby this had DS been a girl. I got soo many negative comments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coworker-commented-on-baby-name#post-833678 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 15:56:08 +0000 Mrs. Pen 833678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sophia: bahahah omg you couldn't be more right. love it.</p> <p>ETA: what part of MN are you from?

I live in MN, too...I like to think of it more as "Minnesota passive aggressive" than "Minnesota nice." :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coworker-commented-on-baby-name#post-833278 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 13:52:02 +0000 Mrs. Pen 833278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Ha, yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coworker-commented-on-baby-name#post-833274 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 13:51:29 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 833274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The *instructor* said that?? Wow very inappropriate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coworker-commented-on-baby-name#post-833270 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 13:50:50 +0000 autumnlove 833270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mean </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coworker-commented-on-baby-name#post-833268 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 13:50:30 +0000 Mrs. Pen 833268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: yeah, I agree. I mean it doesn't matter that these are fake accounts we're working on - he ran the risk of encountering someone in the class with that name! AND then to say that about my kids name, then just continue on with class like no big deal. seriously!!!</p> <p>I love both names as well! Thank you :)</p> <p>@Sophia: bahahah... an NY friend once said that the reason NYers have a bad rep is because everywhere else in the world people just talk behind your back, but in NY they just tell it to you straight. SO TRUE. There is some level of niceness here but the same gossip and rudeness as anywhere else :-P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coworker-commented-on-baby-name#post-833258 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 13:48:41 +0000 JessKas 833258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it is SO rude when people make negative comments on someone's name choice. Why does it matter to them?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coworker-commented-on-baby-name#post-833255 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 13:47:10 +0000 Foodnerd81 833255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow. I mean, making the comment about Parker is sort of rude in a non-personal way. Asking what you named your son and then that response is just blatantly really rude and personal. </p> <p>Personally, I think those two names sound great together as brothers. And I think Parker is a great example of a maiden name that works as a first name. Unfortunately names like that combined with my last name would make my child sound like a corporation, rather than a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coworker-commented-on-baby-name#post-833254 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 13:46:55 +0000 Sophia 833254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Terrible. So much for Minnesota nice, huh?! </p>
