Picturing some pre-teen sitting there reciting the story of their name with a look of disgust on their face,lol.</p> <p>@wonderstruck: I hope you took that as a joke, I am not sure now if it read that way, but I was really meant it as one:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-month-names/page/2#post-1273968 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 13:21:42 +0000 Arden 1273968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wonderstruck: Details no (I really don't need to know actual sex positions, etc), but the month or country seem pretty innocuous to me. I wouldn't care.<br /> Maybe it's just our family culture, but sex talk doesn't bother me. I wasn't traumatized by knowing that my parents had (and have) sex.<br /> I do know when/where I was conceived - after a horse show in a hotel in NC! Lol</p> <p>Eta: Out of curiosity, I just asked my 18 year old sister if she would be creeped out if our parents told her where/when she was conceived. She said "No. I should ask! Do you know?" Haha, so maybe we are just an odd family! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-month-names/page/2#post-1273964 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 13:19:36 +0000 wonderstruck 1273964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: You don't want to hear about when you were conceived, right? I know I don't! Especially when I was a kid...I definitely would have been traumatized by the mere thought of my parents doing that! Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-month-names/page/2#post-1273937 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 13:08:06 +0000 coopsmama 1273937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not really a huge fan of month names, personally, but one month name I hadn't seen mentioned is December. My DH actually dated a girl with that name. I'd never heard it before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-month-names#post-1273909 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 13:01:27 +0000 spaniellove 1273909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like August and for anyone who asked I would just tell them it means "magnificent"! I'm also considering Julian for a June baby, so clearly I don't care. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-month-names#post-1273894 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 12:57:01 +0000 loveisstrange 1273894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cs middle name is June (after her g-grandma) and she was born in April. We also talked about Autumn, it made it top 3. </p> <p>I think month/season names are cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-month-names#post-1273888 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 12:54:48 +0000 wonderstruck 1273888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: @cmomma17: I agree with you two that I prefer it when the name is not the month they're born in. Personally that kind of has the cheesy factor for me, I like those names but couldn't bring myself to do it if the month born and the name matched! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-month-names#post-1273843 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 12:38:12 +0000 MrsSCB 1273843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a little boy named Juniper -- I think that can work for either sex and I don't think they need to be born in June :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-month-names#post-1273829 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 12:31:55 +0000 Greentea 1273829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like august. Gus can be cute for short or auggie for a girl. Juniper? Personally not a fan because it sounds bit contemporary and trendy to me? However I did know a dog named juniper... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-month-names#post-1273798 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 12:23:18 +0000 twodoghouse 1273798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmenow: Haha, don't worry, I'm not planning on telling them all about it! I don't think anyone ever wants to hear their own conception details. Although they were conceived in a petri dish, so maybe less traumatizing than the usual story! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-month-names#post-1273773 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 12:16:58 +0000 mrs. wagon 1273773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the nickname Auggie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-month-names#post-1273769 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 12:14:50 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1273769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like some month and seasonal names. My favs are August (your pick), January, Autumn, Summer, and Nieves (winter in Spanish, I believe). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-month-names#post-1273758 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 12:09:29 +0000 looch 1273758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>January is derived from Janus, which was a name. June is believed to be derived from Juno or possibly Jupiter.</p> <p>As was July, which was Julius, August was Augustus, September-December used to be months 7-10.</p> <p>I think using something like January is a bit unusual, whereas April is more commonplace. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-month-names#post-1273755 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 12:08:22 +0000 Arden 1273755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmenow: Traumatized by knowing the month they were conceived in? Why? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-month-names#post-1273753 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 12:08:09 +0000 lemondrop 1273753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been wondering about this too, I love the name Autumn, but was curious about the protocol for naming one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-month-names#post-1273745 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 12:06:11 +0000 rachiecakes 1273745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: I agree! </p> <p>I love August - I know an Augusta that goes by "Auggie", cute </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-month-names#post-1273743 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 12:05:45 +0000 mrsmenow 1273743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: Please don't share that conception fact with your child, TMI...they will be traumatized..LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-month-names#post-1273739 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 12:04:35 +0000 swedishfish 1273739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: I like August a lot! Love the nickname Gus. The month of August was named for Augustus.</p> <p>@ValentineMommy: Mae is a nickname of Margaret...it's not from the month of May. It's my daughter's middle name after my grandmother's middle name/DH's grandmother. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-month-names#post-1273738 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 12:03:48 +0000 Arden 1273738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How cute would the nicknames be? Auggie and June! (Or Junie). </p> <p>I'm so glad y'all don't think they need to be born in the corresponding months. That would be way too hard to control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-month-names#post-1273732 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 12:02:04 +0000 Beyond2 1273732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally I think using a name that is a different month is better. My great grandfathers name was August. I love that name :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-month-names#post-1273722 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 11:58:19 +0000 Smurfette 1273722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't use them if they are born in that month. </p> <p>That said, they aren't names I am really fond of but don't hate them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-month-names#post-1273711 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 11:51:53 +0000 Bao 1273711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: haha oh boy ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-month-names#post-1273692 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 11:46:49 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1273692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: haha sure you could.. just like poor little North West has a direction for both her names, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-month-names#post-1273682 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 11:45:33 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1273682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can totally use both any time!! I love the name August for a baby born anytime, and bonus, we got married in August so I think it works! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-month-names#post-1273670 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 11:42:46 +0000 anbanan15 1273670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer them not to match their birth month.</p> <p>I know someone named April May. She was born in April, but her due date was in May. I always think "how original?" (siblings names also have a similar "how orginal" feel, like same name as someone famous and being named after city conceived, so it might be extra obvious to me with that particular family). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-month-names#post-1273666 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 11:41:55 +0000 Bao 1273666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think their name has to line up with their birth month. Our last name is a month so we could never use a month name as a first name (that would be cheesy) but I think they are cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-month-names#post-1273663 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 11:41:17 +0000 dagret 1273663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: I think it's strange if they're born in that month. </p> <p> I know an August. Not born in August. They call him Gus. </p> <p>I also know an April May Lastname...born in April. </p>
