[Opinions] Re: Thatcher
in reply to a message by Mikah
My problems with the name Thatcher would have nothing to do with a neighbour boy and everything to do with the part where it sounds like pubic hair to me. :-/ But that's neither here nor there.
As far as your problem goes: Kids share names. If the people on the other side of the road can't deal with this, it's their problem. It's not as though you're close friends and you pulled the rug out from under them before they even had their baby. Your kids will probably be entire grade years apart, and the parents chose a trendy name. If you use it, too, and they're bitter, it's not your fault.
I mean, if I had a daughter named Evening and then the people down the lane had an Evening two years later, I'd be bitter, but I'd know that it really isn't any of my business, what they call their kids. And then I'd take comfort in the fact that I did it first. ;)
