My name is super basic, and I was teased and called 'Katie the Kangaroo' all through elementary school because we read a book where the kangaroo's name was Katie. It was awful and humiliating, but how random?! Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-poll-for-fun/page/2#post-1802547 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 07:57:19 +0000 loki 1802547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thanks for all your input guys! i'm glad other people love our names! it seriously shocks me that no one thinks karaoke hero is awful haha. i mean obviously she wouldn't get called that but i feel like if one person picked up on it she could be teased mercilessly! especially because she will be part japanese and all our friends know about my insane love of karaoke... they might think it was intentional haha. </p> <p>but you've convinced me to reconsider it!!! so it's back at the top of the list. the internet is so great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-poll-for-fun/page/2#post-1802361 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 00:19:04 +0000 birdofafeather 1802361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I picked Maeve but I would NOT give up on Caroline for they maybe possibly random out of left field nickname your friend came up with. It's so ridiculous that I feel like he had to have said it as a joke! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-poll-for-fun/page/2#post-1802262 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 21:49:19 +0000 Sammyfab 1802262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I picked Maeve. It's such a beautiful name.</p> <p>And karaoke hero is pretty awesome!!! It's not even in the same league as Ben Dover. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-poll-for-fun/page/2#post-1802149 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 20:36:36 +0000 sunny 1802149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's unlikely that your LO would be referred to by nickname + lastname. It would either be just the nickname or Caroline + lastname. I :heart: x 100000 the name Caroline. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-poll-for-fun#post-1802110 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 20:11:58 +0000 tarabonno 1802110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love ALL of your names! I wouldn't let the potential nickname stop you. First of all, I don't think it's that bad (I was initially expecting it to rhyme with vagina or something!). Secondly, just don't call her Carrie. Lots of other nicknames for Caroline out there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-poll-for-fun#post-1802105 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 20:09:41 +0000 MrsKRB 1802105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like all of them, but leaning towards Alice - don't know why!</p> <p>ETA I love the name Caroline but I didn't pick it because you said it was an unfortunate combo, however when I read what the combo was I think I would still go for it! (it's really not that unfortunate, I don't think many people would say it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-poll-for-fun#post-1801974 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 18:43:32 +0000 artsyfartsy 1801974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loooove Willa. And I think karaoke hero is a badass nickname. Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-poll-for-fun#post-1801951 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 18:35:02 +0000 cheesetomywhine 1801951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote Caroline since it is your favorite and I wouldn't have thought of that nickname...plus how often would she go by her nickname and last name? Especially if that isn't the nickname you'd be using. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-poll-for-fun#post-1801859 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 18:04:56 +0000 cmomma17 1801859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: love the nickname Cora for Caroline! </p> <p>@loki: if you like both Lara and Maeve, what about Mara? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-poll-for-fun#post-1801855 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 18:04:19 +0000 loki 1801855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha i can't believe people don't think karaoke hero is as awful as i do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-poll-for-fun#post-1801846 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 17:58:32 +0000 loveisstrange 1801846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loki: I change my vote to Caroline (i voted Willa). I dont think that combo is bad. We plan to use Caroline for a girl and we'd call her Cora. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-poll-for-fun#post-1801845 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 17:58:30 +0000 lovehoneybee 1801845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't vote, because I honestly love all of the names and couldn't choose. I'm commenting just to say that even *if* it's a she and someone thinks to call her Karaoke Hero...well, personally I think that's an kicking awesome nickname :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-poll-for-fun#post-1801835 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 17:48:36 +0000 Ginabean3 1801835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote Caroline, even after you revealed the combo, it's not something I would think of and even if it came up, it's not something obscene like Ben Dover..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-poll-for-fun#post-1801803 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 17:28:16 +0000 lilteacherbee 1801803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I :heart: Willa! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-poll-for-fun#post-1801781 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 17:19:30 +0000 Charm54 1801781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maeve is my all-time favourite name, ever since I was a little girl growing up reading Maeve Binchy books.</p> <p>Unfortunately I can't convince dh :sad: :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-poll-for-fun#post-1801761 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 17:02:44 +0000 Cole 1801761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I adore Maeve but can't convince my husband so I vote you use it and I live vicariously through you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-poll-for-fun#post-1801754 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 16:57:01 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1801754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I :heart: Thea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-poll-for-fun#post-1801749 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 16:53:28 +0000 Synchronicity 1801749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You have great taste!

I ended up voting Rose, but I think Alice sounds best with your last name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-poll-for-fun#post-1801666 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 15:59:28 +0000 Greentea 1801666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted Caroline, but second would be Maeve!</p> <p>I don't think your first choice creates a negative connotation with your last name at all! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-poll-for-fun#post-1801656 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 15:56:38 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1801656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Maeve. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-poll-for-fun#post-1801561 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 15:02:49 +0000 loki 1801561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: we woudln't want her to be called carrie but i know a girl caroline and she gets exclusively called care. so i feel like care okihiro would just make it soooo obvious. it might be a bit ridiculous but it makes us so sad about the name :(</p> <p>@cmomma17: haha true, i just worry other people would think it's weird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-poll-for-fun#post-1801552 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 15:00:53 +0000 cmomma17 1801552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loki: but once she's (if it's a she) born you will be known almost exclusively as mommy/mama/mom! ;) so similar names are okay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-poll-for-fun#post-1801551 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 15:00:51 +0000 lawbee11 1801551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loki: Oh I would totally still go with Caroline! I would never think of that....and I consider Carrie its own name, not a nn for Caroline (unless you are planning to call her that?). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-poll-for-fun#post-1801544 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 14:57:54 +0000 loki 1801544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: oooo good ones. my faves are Louisa and Eliza but they're kinda close to my name (Lisa/legal name is Elizabeth). Nora was a favourite but i know THREE baby girl Noras born this year. I loooove Georgia but DH isn't a fan :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-poll-for-fun#post-1801542 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 14:57:32 +0000 cmomma17 1801542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loki: aww boo!
