Xiomara is Jane's mom on "Jane the Virgin". Not that the Duggars would watch that show.

It’s a really pretty common Hispanic name.  I’ve got a cousin married to a Xiomara whose family originally came from Puerto Rico.  I can’t see a Duggar using a ‘furrin’ name though, especially one associated with those heathen Catholics.

As an RN and a mom, I think the U.S. has lost its goddamn mind when it comes to how pregnant women are treated here. I personally felt like the minute my pee stick turned pink, I lost all my autonomy

Time for a thread name change? From Side Hugs to Front Hugs: They Figured It Out

It's sad when a bunch of internet people who have never met these kids care more about their education and livelihoods than their own parents. Seriously, fuck JB and Michelle.

Hmmm... For some reason I cannot play the message. Maybe God does not think I am worthy enough to be able to see the video. I do chuckle at the one comment about Kendra being a mature 19 year old. Really...mature...I have warts on my body who are more mature, but this is not the time and place to get into that.

When the show was  on the board I belonged to we called her Kendah. lol I had never heard that name until GND.

I think they will go with a cutesy name that won't age well. I doubt Kendra will go too deep for a meaning on her baby's name. Erin is naming her new baby Everly which I think is interesting. Alyssa is going with Zoey. Out of the two names I like Everly better.

My hate for the name Everly is strong enough to cause me to request a password reset so I could finally log in again and rant about that name. It is the new tryndi name, sometimes spelled Everleigh, so I'm not in the least surprised that Erin Bates is using it. Two moms of my acquaintance in the same town named their baby girls that in the last couple of years, and I've heard about another one (one of my mom's friends' grandchild) born around the same time, so I predict that Everly/leigh is the new McKenzy/McKynzie and there will be tons of them in kindergarten in a few years. We can probably thank this pint-sized Youtube/Pinterest celebrity for the trend:

thought i remembered that also, which was very disorienting as I'd already fixed the prior pronunciation in my mind and felt all smug about doing so, lol.

was once told "Ashleen", like "Eileen", but then that doesn't make much sense, because then I don't know why the latter wouldn't be spelt "Eisling" (or maybe, in some circles, it is!). 

There are regional dialects in Ireland, just as everywhere else. The pronunciation of given names just follows the dialect like any other word. The main vowel sound in own name sounds completely different when southerners say it. Come to think of it, that’s also true of the French pronunciation of my name.

 

tl;dr Many names are pronounced a bit differently in different regions of Ireland.

I was disappointed about Zoey. Because until that name I thought maybe Alyssa was picking using letters from her own name A for Allie, L for Lexi, I was waiting for to announce a Y name.

I really had no idea there were so many X names!  That kind of shoots my wish (for a small herd) all to hell.  Oh well.  It's been many moons since I had to choose a name for my one and only kid.

I did wish, as a kid, for a common name like Linda, Kathy, Susan, Debra, Barbara, etc.  It's probably akin to wanting straight hair when one has curly (that was me too.)  It's nice to get more of a "roll with it" attitude as one ages, for sure.

I like this one:  Xochitl  The gal I went to school with who had this name pronounced it Sochee

Eh, no need to see/hear it.  It was fundie bingo of all the special words:  awesome, blessed, etc.  Once I hit play all I could see is her mouth.  Maybe that is his favorite part.

I can't think of a cutesy girls name that starts with Y. Yolanda for example seems too formal for her cutesy girl name style.

Yeah, people don't always seem to understand "You know we arrange such-and-such letters together and then they always take the sound of said arrangement, right?  That just because you want to name your daughter "Velvetta", does not mean we're going to sheepishly go along with you if you insist her name should be pronounced "Velveeta", right?  Because we do certain things, and vowels take certain sounds, when they're next to double letters, right?"

Ugh, sometimes it makes me stabby.

Then again, there are a lot of phonetic quirks. Our older son's name is Stephen (I figure it's a common enough name that I can share it). We pronounce it with an "f" sound, though. That was my husband's idea, but I rather liked what I saw as a uniqueness in the pronunciation. Turns out, though, that my husband is actually adamant that everyone out there who pronounces the name Stephen as "Steven" is simply wrong. He won't listen to the fact that it's the accepted pronunciation, because "ph makes an f sound" . And our son doesn't much appreciate having a name that's constantly mispronounced, and wishes we'd spelled it "Stefan" to start with. He'd change it himself, but his job entails a lot of security clearances and it would take a lot of red tape at this point.

Phteven.  A friend of mine and her husband named their firstborn Lilah. Only they spelled it Lillah. Poor girl is gonna have a tough time in school!

Did Kendra miss the memo about taking and posting a swayback baby bump photo?

Maybe, just maybe....she isn't 100% famewhore who gets all of her self-esteem from doing the mom-humble-brag on social media for her "fans"? Maybe?

I have always thought Stephen should be pronounced like "Stefan/Stefen." Tell your husband he and I are correct, the rest of these people are wrong. :)
