I think of kidnappings too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ransom/page/2#post-588072 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 18:42:43 +0000 DigAPony 588072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew a guy named Ransom. I'd never heard that as a name before and it took me the longest time to "get" it as his name. I've warmed up to it, but don't think I'd ever use it because of the negative connotations of the word. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ransom/page/2#post-588066 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 18:38:54 +0000 anonysquire 588066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: of course. No I'm kidding! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ransom/page/2#post-588052 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 18:33:43 +0000 PrincessBaby 588052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope on Ransom.</p> <p>My cousin wants to name her baby "Rowdy" and it makes me think of a bad, rowdy kid and I don't know why she wants to use a name with negative implications. Ransom kind of reminds me of that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ransom/page/2#post-588046 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 18:28:01 +0000 keiki_mama 588046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No on Ransom as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ransom/page/2#post-588042 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 18:23:54 +0000 andrea86 588042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely wouldn't use Ransom. I just can't picture a grown man named Ransom.</p> <p>I don't see whats wrong with Addalynn though. I probably would have spelled it differently, but I think its pretty. I actually know 2 little girls with that name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ransom/page/2#post-588008 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 17:55:21 +0000 rattles 588008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't use it, but I like it. I think of the protagonist from C.S. Lewis's Space Trilogy first, and it does have historical use as a name, particularly with Christians (Christ as ransom for our sins). Not for me, but not in the same category as other word names to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ransom/page/2#post-587985 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 17:39:06 +0000 LaughLines 587985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dustin and Rachel from Millionaire Matchmaker named their son "Sin" which to me has an extremely negative connotation, Ransom seems similar, but not as bad as Sin </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ransom/page/2#post-587941 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 17:12:48 +0000 bunnylove08 587941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>totally thought of the negative meaning of the name. Its not for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ransom/page/2#post-587674 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:26:30 +0000 rachiecakes 587674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: are you friends with Alicia Silverstone? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ransom/page/2#post-587559 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:47:25 +0000 theRoo 587559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was a good enough name for Jimmy Stewart in "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ransom/page/2#post-587536 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:43:51 +0000 mamimami 587536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds very Palin-esque.

Nonono. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ransom#post-586893 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 11:48:52 +0000 mrs. wagon 586893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Immediately thought of Mel Gibson. Great movie!

Guess I'm the only one.. haha</p> <p>I heard two coworkers in the supermarket talking yesterday and one was calling the other fellow "Hawk". I thought to myself, that's a pretty badass name! Then I saw his name tag and it was "Hoque" which is an Arabic name and made sense when I saw his face. Still cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ransom#post-586799 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 11:32:15 +0000 vnvdvci 586799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like some pretty weird names but Ransom sounds too much like a dog's name for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ransom#post-586695 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 11:15:46 +0000 Alivoo01 586695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a fan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ransom#post-586533 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 10:44:45 +0000 anbanan15 586533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh sorry everyone for the getting you all worried about kidnappings and Mel Gibson movies!! Not my intent lol! I did at least post in the correct category. I changed the title to say as a name :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ransom#post-586527 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 10:43:18 +0000 Crisark 586527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sera_87: It's Adda-lynn and I think it's pretty.<br /> Ransom on the other hand not so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ransom#post-586524 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 10:42:23 +0000 Shutterbug 586524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, no way to Ransom. I thought this thread was gonna be about the Mel Gibson movie, haha. </p> <p>As for the teen mom name, she basically gave her twins the same name (Aleesomething) so Addalynn doesn't sound too shocking to me. </p>
