[Opinions] My niece is name Gabriella, and is called Abby.
I do not like Gabby, because its a word that means to talk too much. It has too much teasing potential for me. Bella is cute, but I can't understand how one gets it from Gabriella. Ella is cute, and I lovef that. Don't name the poor child Mackenize. I understand that you don't care about meanings, but she may not end up like you.Siri

My parents dog is named Abby.....Her nn will be Gabby if we name her Gabriella. Most people get past the "talk too much image" Plus if she's anything like her Mom she will talk a lot....I like teh cheerleader, popular, happy, bubbley, type of personality, and type of name so I'm not worried about that.I am worried that Gabby and my parents/family dog's name will be confused...Abby and Gabby....You get Bella out of Gabriella rather easyga B ri ELLA =BELLA...but after carrying her around for 9 months I feel that Bella doesn't fit her as much as Gabby, and we've called her Gabby for so long...But Gabriella is my husbands favoite name..not mine..I just don't think Gabriella fits with us..Gabby does more than Gabriella...oh, I'm so confused...[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v417/Amberlyn008/fbfeca87.jpg[/IMG]

"Plus if she's anything like her Mom she will talk a lot....I like teh cheerleader, popular, happy, bubbley, type of personality, and type of name so I'm not worried about that."Do you realise how ridiculous and so-not-ready-to-raise-a-child you sound? Guess what.... you cannot mold your child to have a certain personality. Good lord. Your child can be a book worm, she can have brains instead the ability to do flips. She can be original versus trendy. She can be anything that you don't characterize yourself as. It's really really sad and disturbing what you said.

Do you realize how dumb you make yourself look...If you read my whole thing and didn't judge me, you would see that I said IF she is anything like her Mom.. not that I expect her to be just like me. The way you and a few other people sound around here you would only be happy if I let my daughter name herself when she was "of age" because how could I pick a name for her...And how dare me like names that are popular or trendy.I came on here to ask about a name NOT to be attacked about being a Mother....for goodness sakes you don't even know me...Do you judge everyone this quickly? Wow seriously make take a step back and read everything and ask questions before you judge someone for their beliefs or thoughts.This is why I left this board 7 months ago I used to be a regular poster. I now belong to a nice board where people tell you how they feel and are honest with out sounding like 5 year old children who just need to down everyones thoughts who don't think the same way they do...thank you for nothing....I bet you would hate me if I told you we once thought of naming her.Tiffany or Kellie or Taylor....or even Emily, Emma, Madison, or Alexis.I'd hate to think what you thought of my name..geez with all the stereotypes of people named Amber....

Reality check, AMBERLYN . . .Your IP Addresses both trace back to the University of Arizona, and then there's this:http://www.behindthename.com/bb/arcview.php?id=41736&board=babyIt was deceptive to come back as "Amber Christine" when you had an established profile under "Amberlyn" . . . no doubt due to the manner of your exit:http://www.behindthename.com/bb/arcview.php?id=75732&board=otAnd the post that caused it:http://www.behindthename.com/bb/arcview.php?id=75054&board=otYou know perfectly well that it is against the rules to post under more than one name.

Amberlyn / Amber Christine / whoever you are, I'm mildly surprised at you (though perhaps I shouldn't be, after re-reading your old posts...). You were been extraordinarily offensive and intolerant in the past and didn't apologise for it, and now you come back and seemingly play off some our members' forgetfulness and our other members' newness to subtly re-intergrate yourself back into our community?Yes, we're forgetful sometimes and some of us may be new, but one of us will always eventually figure out what's going on; you were quite foolish imo to come here again and deliberately break the rules by posting under more than one posting name without telling us... but perhaps you were more foolish to draw attention to yourself in the first place by being stubborn and immature, for you probably could've kept the charade going a little longer if you hadn't thrown mini-temper tantrums over your beloved Makenzie.I doubt people here will forgive you, for you already burned most of your bridges way back in September 2004. And the few remaining bridges left have now been burnt through your deliberate act of lying through deceit. I'm reporting this to Mike C., mostly for the MPDism involved, but also for your behaviour here. That's all the action I'm going to take for now, but I'll continue to watch for developments if need be.

Your daughter is not oging to be a carbon copy of you.Period. That is a disturbing thought to me, actually. What if your child turns out to be a book worm? Siri
