Why wouldn’t they have looked up the meaning of it anyway?

I would have acted shocked saying I didn’t know that’s what the name meant! Anyway, too bad for them. It’s not hard to think of baby names (husband and I have done it four times and we are both teachers!) and who doesn’t look up what the name means before they settle on it? We both liked a name once, till we saw the name meaning and decided no way!

Lucky for the baby the OB/GYN spoke up and also thankfully the hubby is going to help clean up the mess.

I think this is funny. You don’t have to tell people what names you’ve got picked out and giving a name that wasn’t on the list is probably something that I would have done.
I know one of my good friends absolutely hates the name we had picked out for both our boys if one had of been a girl. My friend for years has hassled me to tell her, especially now she knows we’re not having anymore but I refuse to tell her because I know that she’d screw up her face and go on and on about how much of a horrible name it is and why she was so glad I never got to use it … all because she knows someone that she doesn’t like that has that name.

That’s so funny….you should pick your own bubs name and not steal others ……….massive belly laugh

So funny, serves her right, and she had no thoughts of how you would feel for stealing the name you might choose in the future.

You can’t really steal a name, the name isn’t “yours”. And when you don’t want a friend or family member to use the name you picked, don’t share it

Funny, but glad she was told before the poor child was named that lol

I think if she likes the name she can still use it. She shouldn’t have been so obsessive on stealing your baby name.

Pretty funny and hopefully she has learnt a lesson. from this. What was her obsession with knowing what you would have called a girl if you were having one? Weird

HAHAHAHAHAHA YES great to see a winner when I saw the name I thought this is just about the same as the Italian version of it.This fool would have named her kid anything .Give your husband a pat on the back. I love to have a laugh so thanks a bunch

I think this is hilarious. Who would name their child something without looking up the meaning? Everyone googles everything these days, don’t they? And if you look at it another way, Roxy once looking up the meaning should have been nice enough to warn you that you shouldn’t name your child that in the future because of the meaning. This problem has two sides. Let your husband sort it out – he suggested the name and it’s his cousin. Be happy with all your other myriad of friends!

Haha sorry but I think that’s funny and she should have googled the meaning of the name!

The thing I noticed is that the OBGYN noticed the name choice.
One as a kid/teen being from a Maltese background I taught my friends how to say and or the meaning of new (obviously rude) words in my language for fun – but I made sure my cousins knew how to say all kinds of things that maybe they shouldn’t say but as long as I made sure they knew the meaning of what they were saying it wasn’t my problem how they used it. — So my point is did Roxy not actually speak to the husband about her final decision on their child’s name ~ she didn’t feel her deserved to know before everyone in the delivery room? And if she did discuss it with the husband prior whom is the cousin how did he not pick up that it was “a shit” name to give the baby being someone who I would assume would point out that it is clearly a joke before making fools of themselves to the OBGYN – by making it obvious that they put no real thought into their own kids name after nine months of preparation… ????????‍????????

I actually find this quite funny. Does she think its ok though to downright “steal” your supposed name though? Did she not stop to think how that would make YOU feel?

Oh dear, I probably shouldn’t laugh but I am. Honestly the first thing we did when coming up with names was check their meanings.. haha..

I can see it from both sides. Its a tough one!

I think Roxy was pretty tacky and – maybe didn’t exactly deserve it – but definitely needed a bit of a wake up call.

This is why i never told anyone my baby names untill they were born. I had a friend i knew would do this.

That is Gold!!! what a laugh. Surly you would look up the meaning of the name just to be sure. I know with my kids I had a few names picked and conducted research on each name to see what they mean.
Roxy really wanted to just take what ever name she was given so sucked in HAHAHA
