people really **** me off!

So I had my girls name picked out already and I really like the name paisley I think it's a great name for her not a lot of ppl name their kids that. And everybody's like its "too white" remind you my baby is half black and half European so she's mixed it just pisses me off because there's no such thing as a white name and they always have a input like this is my child you can name your child whatever you want but don't talk about my child like that! I don't care that paisley is a pattern NOBODY CARES kids don't care about that stuff only adults how I see it and it's a shame...rant over

My baby is going to be half black. Who cares what we name our children? They are ours and I think Paisley is a beautiful name! If my baby is a girl, her name will be Lydia Anne.

This is why I don't want to share any of the good names with anyone haha. I have no problem telling them names we've thrown out but frankly I don't think I want anyone else's opinion on my baby's name other than her father's.  If people don't like the name at least they might be a bit more hesitant to complain about it once it's already on the birth certificate!

Love The name choice!! Paisley Grace Is to adorable! Trust me I completely understand how u feel Because I really Like names That No one else has For my kids. My four year old daughter Is named Tailiana (tay-lee-on-uh) her middle name Is meleah.  She's mixed with Italian Puerto Rican and black and alot of people say her name Is to black Or to Spanish and I'm Like really? It's not Even in a baby name book with a meaning Or origin So shhhhhh.  Lol.  But Then I have people Who When They hear her name They are Like Wow such a unique and beautiful name. Idc What people think either way Because I adore her name and I couldn't picture her being named anything else. She decided to name her baby sister Kailaya Olivia and I love That name too and Also get The It's to black speech. And again, I Don't care! I love The name. It's unique and It's staying. I call my kids taili and Layla as Nick names and Some people Call The oldest tay Or tay tay and I Don't mind If She doesn't. My mom calls her taz Like tasmanian devil and I think It's cute... my sister wants to call The baby kylie and That's fine with me too. The nickname doesn't have to be specific Or only one It kinda ranges between What Other people Like calling The kid in my opinion...  and It makes a special little bond between The kid and whoever calls them That cause It's That persons "special" name For them. If people Don't Like The names You choose Then They can have their own baby and choose a name for them. Who cares about The opinion of others!!

Lol they better not say anything. Like Idk who my child is competing against. I'm just wondering if she's going to have green or blue eyes! They're just like what's going to be her nickname? She doesn't have to have a nickname. She's not even born yet. They are worried about the wrong thing. Paisley Grace is going to be her name!

I'm having a mixed girl too and I've heard that when I've been throwing around names. Or that the name is too black. That came from her black father. Lol whatever. It's gonna be what I decide and really once the birth certificate is done that's her  name. People can shut up and deal with it. And once you start introducing her around they won't say anything.

In the end, its your baby! Don't let people bully you into changing names!
I have a lot of people disliking and making their opinions heard on my little mans name. In the end, its my baby if they want a different name they can have their own baby and name it lol. Don't give in. Stand your ground mama!

Paisley is a beautiful name... It blows my mind that some people still see the color of our skin and make decisions based on that. Time for everyone to move on.... We are all the same, human beings, and no matter what color our skin is, or what religion we believe in we all deserve to be treated with respect... There is no right or wrong names dependent upon our backgrounds. You name your baby Paisley, and do it with your head held high... It's a beautiful name for your little angel!
