Happy Friday!! I’m writing this post on Wednesday a
few hours before finishing my last exam. After this, I’ll only have three more
semesters of my BA. Crazy. Before writing one of our harder exams, my friends
and I decided that the best way to chill post exam would be to watch hours of
trashy reality TV. Trashy reality show of choice? 16 and Pregnant. So, this
post is on the names the moms picked from season 3 of 16 and Pregnant.
Noah James – I love this
name. Noah is such a classic. James is a bit of a filler middle, but the combo
sounds so lovely that I can’t fault it.
Joshua Devan and Noah Matthew – Noah Matthew
is also gorgeous. Noah was a popular choice this season. Joshua was after the
father and although I love the idea of honoring names, on this show it makes me
cringe because of how often the parents end up hating each other. Sure enough,
they didn’t stay together. I like Devan well enough, but would be more apt to
spell it Devon.
Miah Christine – This spelling is
cringe worthy. The mother pronounces her name as My-uh, but if I read it first,
I’d definitely say Mee-uh. I seriously hate the name Maya, but at least
Maya/Maia would make sense. I’m neutral towards Christine.
Jamie Jr – I like Jamie
for a boy, but I’d prefer it as a nickname for James or Jameson. Also, the
whole naming the baby after the father thing makes me super uneasy on this
show. I’m not sure if this baby truly doesn’t have a middle name, or if Jr is
the middle name.
Kylee Sue – At first, when they were talking about this name and I
imagined it as Kylie, I was ok with it. When they showed it spelled out on the
screen, I actually laughed out loud. Everything about this name says redneck to
me. The spelling is ridiculous, the flow of it and Sue in general.
Preston Michael – I went to
elementary school with a guy whose first name was Michael and last was Preston
so this combo obviously sounded super familiar to me. Currently, one of my best
friends is named Preston so I have a fab association that I think has made me
like the name a lot more than I would otherwise. Although I really like the
combo, Michael is another naming after the dad situation.
Enrique Jeiro – Seriously,
naming after dads was the trend of the season. I really do not like either of
the names, but this baby’s father is Hispanic, so I can at least understand
wanting to use names from that heritage.
Kay’den Elijah – Ugh. Grammar in
names is probably one of my biggest naming pet peeves. No one needs an apostrophe
in their name. Ever. Caden Elijah would be a darling, totally valid combo, but
Kay’den. Just no.
Aubri Rose – I
have so many issues with Aubri. First issue, that spelling is ridiculous. If you’re
going to use it, at least spell it right- Aubrey. Secondly, Aubrey is a
masculine name. I feel like a lot of people think its related to Audrey, but it’s
actually derived from Alberich a clearly masculine German name. Thirdly, I just
don’t like it. Rose is so common as a middle name and another name I just don’t
like.
Aydenn Anthony – Spelling. What
even is Aydenn. Aidan is so lovely and that spelling just looks awful without
changing the name at all. I just don’t get it! Anthony is cute, but
alliterative combos aren’t my deal.
So those are my thoughts on the
names from season 3 of 16 and Pregnant. What are your thoughts on them- agree? Disagree?
Leave a comment! :) And have a fab holidays!
