Oh dear….. and when he gets to school? The other kids are not going to want to use that mouthful so he will end up with a nickname from the other kids and Mum will have zero control. I think that name is over the top but its not my child so go ahead. No matter what name you choose there will always be someone who doesnt like it. As long as you feel its the right name for your child then go ahead.
Just remember with such a long first name as this you will need to start teaching him how to write his name very early or he will have issues with grade one where all the other kids can write their name but he cant.

Wow… that’s a bit much for a first name!
I think she’s a bit much with this baby and the whole baby shower thing but she’s the mother so really, who can tell her other wise.

She seems a little crazy – poor child, and poor whoever has to call him that every single time. I’m sure she too will tire of it. Either way though, it is her choice!

I’m sorry but she won’t be able to dictate a nickname, the kid will probably create his own!

In my opinion the poor child’s name is totally weird. As a preschool teacher I came across a lot of unusual names but this one takes the cake. I chose a traditional name for my son – one that will take him through life without any criticism.

The Poor mum having family and what she thought were friends do this to her.
It’s her baby, so her choice.

A strange choice in name. Hopefully he doesn’t get picked on. Thankfully, my child doesn’t have a wacky name.

it’s up to her

I never received any negative comments with my boys names. It’s up to the parents what they call their child but I do think they are putting their son in a situation where he could be bullied at school. They have a hard enough time at school already without this.

Oh my ???? over reacting to what is already an over reaction ????

Wow! What outrage over outrage over outrage! I’m outraged at the outrage.

I do think the name is a bit ridiculous but not my child.
A bit odd to demand that no one shorten the name.
I wonder when she will shorten it herself when she is calling him or telling him off every 5 seconds when he is older.
My own mother in law told me she didn’t like our daughters very normal name and she also had an issue with our son being named after her (ex)husband – My father in law. There’s always something.

Seriously though, what weirdo announces the name before the kids born?

Wow but I don’t really think names should used prior to birth it again takes away from the day as people usually tell everyone the sex and now the name it makes the day a bit less exciting

Not my choice in name but I feel it’s not other people places to judge what a person wishes to call their children, some names have meanings or significance to people and that’s their choice but perhaps they also don’t see the future of what the child may endure with a peculiar name

The easy response to a name like that is to let her know that it is illegal in Australia to name a baby with a title so the Registrar General will not register it anyway. If she is not in Australia then I feel sorry for the child as children have enough difficulties growing up anyway, but with a mother like that will only be harder for them.

The name(s) parents give their child says a lot about them. I feel sorry for the child already. 😀

The name is ridiculous but in saying that, I’ve heard a lot of ridiculous baby names lately. I love my babies’ names but there will always be people that don’t. I made a point of telling no one the names we had chosen before they were born. I do think people should shut their mouths and stop being so critical of other people’s choices

I’m sorry, but the name is horrible.
I don’t think I’d tell a stranger that, but if it was my sister, I’m sure I would mention that I don’t like it, and that the chance of the kid not receiving a nickname from his peers is approximately ZERO.
The name itself is more than a little pretentious, so he was related to ‘squires’, and ‘senators’, etc…?!
Okay, then…!!!
I have royal ancestry, too, but I’m not going to force my family or friends to call me ‘Lady Whatever’, etc…!
That’s like saying her child is ‘above’ others and they should treat him as such…!
Sorry, but that child is going to cop so much flack over his name(and no, that’s not right AT ALL, I HATE bullies, but that’s the truth)!
It’s great to say it’s her choice, but what about the poor kid?!
This woman sounds really selfish.
And I know I’ll get a bit of a backlash for ridiculing the name, but what if I called my son Samuel Truck Driver Teacher Police Sergeant, after the members of my family…?!!!
And not to be shortened, abbreviated, or exchanged for a nickname…
F#S!!!

We kept our kids names secret until after the birth. We wanted it to be a surprise and for just in case the names we had chosen didn’t suit them, that way we could change it if we wanted. I do have to say though that ‘Squire Sebastian Senator’ is one looooooooooong first name. It going to be tough for the kid to learn it and he will forever be having to explain it. But in the end it’s the parents choice and he can always change it if he wants to when he’s older. No chance of not having a nickname though.
