Congratulations on helping deliver the baby. That must have been cool. Newborn babies are so cute. I used to work in the NICU and I got attached to the little ones very easily.

I think Hope is a pretty name. Its not a new agey name its been around for ages. I know of worse names for a girl. Have known girls named Precious, Bambi, Sunshine and those are even worse. Some parents intentionally come up with weird names so they can get attention. An example is the woman in Walmart that yelled out to her children "Sierra Mountain, Dusty Rhodes what are you two doing?" I knew a woman named Gay Savage. I think she should not have taken her husband's last name.

One of my teachers said she knew a girl named Norma Lee Horny. This was in the 1950s.

Hey, Bambi was one of the henchwomen in a Bond film. What do you have against Bambi? Besides, if you divorce the wife it takes on a whole other meaning.

Bambi is a fawn's name in a Disney movie. It should not be given to babies because they can grow up into adults. No adult wants to have the name Bambi when they are trying to get into college or into a professional career unless it is being a stripper.

A friend of a friend worked in a hospital in the baby section and these parents had named their son "s**thead", which they pronounced Shi- theed. She didn't know if they were terrible parents or just terrible spellers.

I hate when people name their children after emotions or ideas. It's only a matter of time before they start naming their kids Smile or Sunshine. Hope, Liberty, and Justice are three of the most ill-concieved names ever. Waste of a perfectly good child.


There you go, ruin a perfectly wonderful announcement of a new life with negativity and pessimism...

Congrats to the original poster and her friend on getting to experience the arrival of a new life. :)

She's doing well and is three days old. Lots of feeding, burping, etc. the usual, so far she's been a very good baby and she's very hugable too.

I'm going to stop now before this descends into mush......


:) :) :)


I am very happy to hear that baby Hope is doing very well and I personally like the name myself. Being mushy especially when it comes to babies can be acceptable and fun. I have two sons of my own and are well-loved and talked about too. :)
