Mom of 1 & Expecting!
 |
Hi Ashley, congrats on your new baby!! I'm so happy for you.
I love the names Caleigh and Alessia. The last three sound dated in comparison (but I don't mean that in a bad way). The first two are adorable.
I'm laughing at some of the responses before mine. Like naming the child after her bio mother after she's even been deemed a danger to her child. Gimme a break. Lots of nuts in the world. :-)
Congrats again! You have many happy years ahead of you. |

Personally.....I would do the honorable thing.
1. Don't force a new name on the child if they already have one.
2. Ask the natural mother if she wants to give her/him a name.
3. Name her/him after their natural mother or father. |

You probably should have posted in the baby names section rather than the adoption section if you didn't want opinions about the adoption aspect. |

Agencies do not "come to people" about pregnant ladies. Especially not to people with such terrible grammar. Or to people who ask strangers what to name their baby.
If you are "getting tired of what people think of your husband and you for adopting", you shouldn't adopt. The child will never not be adopted, and your child will never not love her natural Mother, and will always want to find her, no matter how horrible you say her mother may be.
and PS- most adoptees would LOVE to have been named after their first Moms. |

This is so sad.
And you have got some nerve.
Shame on you for taking advantage of a bad situation and then gloating on the internet.
Does your agency know you are already exploiting this child?
And here's a hint, if you can't respect the people this child is coming from, then you will never truly be able to respect this child.
I'm glad I was adopted by good, decent people.
That poor kid. |

Name her whatever the heck YOU want to cuz, as your additional details show, this is all about YOU anyhow. Why bother asking a stranger to help name YOUR child. She is YOURS so YOU name her what YOU want. |

Ask what the MOTHER wants. I hate to sound rude but she is the mother. And you are the other mother. So that way when your child grows up she will have a memory. Instead of winding up like me and having my name changed when I was 5 1/2 months old. |

ugh.
so which is it? the state is taking her baby at birth or you're going thru an agency and will be present at the separation?
As an adoptee, don't you feel the presence of adopters at birth is grotesque?
Since your question was about names, they are all second rate, but that kind of is reflective of the situation you describe. Are they the names of your adopter's family cause some of them sure sound old fashioned. |

I like Alessia and Caleigh they are all beautiful but those are my favorite. As far as your decision to adopt who cares what others think, you are doing a wonderful thing giving a child a good home. My husband and I have been trying to adopt for a few years and people keep telling us we are selfish because we have 2 children already. I don't care what people think anymore I am doing what is best for my family. Good Luck and Congrats on your little miracle. |

Why not pick out a name you like, and then keep her original name as her middle name? :) |

I like the flow of them (Sorry not sure if you planned a second name, I just like the combination.)
Good luck!!! Only you know inside your heart if its right. |

I think it's wonderful that you're adopting! I like Alice because that was my grandmothers name...I want to name my daughter that, but since unique names are the "in" thing these days, I was thinking of updating it and spelling it Allyce, or going with Alyssa. I also like Caleigh. Congratulations and best of luck! |

Congrats - I like Caleigh--people are going to try to take your joy or make judgements w/o a lick of knowing the situation--don't defend it you don't have to |

All of the names are nice.
I am an adoptive mom and my daughter's first mom and I chose her first name together. Now, almost 12 years later, I'm kicking myself that I did not use first mom's name as a middle name; or at least hyphenated with her current middle name.
We've always maintained a very open adoption that has been a great experience for our family so this may be why I feel strongly about it now. And, I am seriously considering doing this for my daughter (it was her request).
Just something for you to think about. Otherwise you might want to post this in the baby name section to avoid any unsolicited advice:) |
