Today, my husband and I agreed that he would name our first born and I would name our second. He's dead-set on naming our child "Raindropp" no matter whether it's a boy or girl. FML

It sounds like your child will be a stoner

My husband wants to name our first boy Blaze...that's a stoner name

Why not compromise on Rain? Rain is a very nice name, imo. "Raindropp", not so much.

Good news! After the baby is born, unless the mother is incapacitated, they ask HER what the baby's name is...NOT the father!

My goodness. It's something you'd name a pony.

That fact that the name isn't even remotely acceptable should make your agreement null and void!!!!

Wow. Poor baby and poor u. Since u will be in school everyday since they will be picking on the poor child cause of the name daddy gave him/her.

You shouldn't have made that deal until you heard some of the baby names he had in mind. Now you have to name your second child some whacked up name such as "raindropp" so one kid doesn't feel more special or different than the other. I mean come on, no one likes favorites! :D BTW NO OFFENSE INTENDED!

My name is Raine. Please, spare your child from having that name. Whatever it takes.

Why? That name is pretty :3

Try giving it out over the phone. Try going to the first day of school and listening to your teachers(and later, professors) mispronounce it. Every substitute teacher, every person who calls you "Rainey" or "Ryan". When you're spelling it for someone, have to repeat it several times. Being named "Rain" is something acceptable. "Raindropp" or "Raine" isn't, because people are going to go ahead and comment, "Were your parent's stupid or just hippies? It's spelled "Rain"..."

The kid will always be made fun of, even if the people involved don't realize it. Someone's going to sing "Rain, Rain, go away" or insist on calling you "Cloud" or "Stormy." That's actually what my boss does. Calls me Stormy. Weirdly, grown adults make fun of my name more than kids did in my childhood. I'm so tired of this that I don't tell him to stop(plus, I need to make a good impression). I also don't tell people that they're saying my name wrong. It's always been a pain in the ass, but it's my name and I'm not the type to change it. But you should spare children from weird spellings and iffy pronunciations.
