I'd definitely classify that as odd to answer your original question! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-this-odd#post-289924 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 16:12:34 +0000 Rosie Girl 289924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I'm thinking his new wife doesn't know.... which I hope now that it never comes out in the future for her sake! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-this-odd#post-289250 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 08:40:53 +0000 mrsjyw 289250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't have used it, but maybe his new wife doesn't know? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-this-odd#post-289054 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 02:33:35 +0000 erinpye 289054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's kind of weird and I certainly wouldn't want to name my child something my partner and an ex had considered for a child of theirs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-this-odd#post-287950 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 23:00:31 +0000 Mrs. Pen 287950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: lol yeah I understand that. Kobe is more like the athlete though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-this-odd#post-287947 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 22:56:44 +0000 runsyellowlites 287947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Had my ex not told me WHY he wanted it I probably would've agreed to it. Which only makes me wonder if he told his new wife why he picked it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-this-odd#post-287941 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 22:49:14 +0000 Mrs. Pen 287941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: that's my son's name! But spelled Cobi.</p> <p>@MamaMoose: agreed. I wouldn't have used a name DH picked with his ex. That's totally weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-this-odd#post-287940 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 22:48:13 +0000 SugarplumsMom 287940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: I agree. I don't think guys are as sentimental when it comes to names. And I don't think he told her either! No woman would knowingly agree to a name her husband and his ex thought up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-this-odd#post-287931 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 22:26:30 +0000 runsyellowlites 287931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was pregnant with DS before finding out he was a DS and not a DD my ex threw out the name Kobi from a certain "actress" he liked... I said heck no &amp; then DS was infact a DS so it was a non-issue. When he &amp; his now new wife had their first son guess what they named him... yep, Kobe.</p> <p>I think maybe guys don't think about names like we do and once they find one they like, regardless of what prompted it, they stick with it. *shrugs shoulders* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-this-odd#post-287925 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 22:14:59 +0000 tequiero21 287925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>odd! i'd bet like above, he didn't tell her? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-this-odd#post-287922 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 22:10:49 +0000 autumnlove 287922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely a little odd! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-this-odd#post-287874 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 21:08:33 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 287874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's a little weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-this-odd#post-287860 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 20:51:16 +0000 BananaPancakes 287860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a friend with a similar situation. Her and her ex had a boy's name they loved and both would say when they had kids, that would be the name. Well, they ended up breaking up down the road and he named his first boy that name with his wife. She thought it was strange, as well. It would be different if it were a family name, but they spent a lot of time dreaming of their future children, so she was actually a little hurt by it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-this-odd#post-287836 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 20:32:55 +0000 mrbee 287836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sweet T: I agree, he prolly didn't tell her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-this-odd#post-287830 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 20:25:13 +0000 Sweet T 287830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's weird too. I doubt your ex told his wife though. Maybe he just really likes the name Abigail? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-this-odd#post-287826 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 20:18:14 +0000 MamaMoose 287826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only thing I can think of is maybe the wife suggested it and your ex felt weird saying no and telling her you two had planned to use the name? I feel like if the wife knew she probably wouldn't have used it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-this-odd#post-287816 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 20:07:03 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 287816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with you, I wouldn't have used it. To each their own I suppose! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-this-odd#post-287813 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 20:04:50 +0000 Rosie Girl 287813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was pregnant with DS, my ex and I picked out a name for the baby, Abigail was the name we picked if we were gonna have a girl. Well, we (obviously) had a boy, so didn't use that name!</p> <p>When I found out I was pregnant with a girl with DH, there was no way I would name her Abigail. </p> <p>Turns out, ex and his new wife had a little girl a couple weeks ago, and guess what, they named her Abigail. Is that weird to anyone else?! I would never want to name my baby a name that my DH and his ex had picked out. Am I the only one?! </p>
