Hey, Ripley for short...I like it.

socorny

Except it looks like they are going for Lian for short #BabyLian

Mikey

Oh yeah, just noticed that. Lian...not bad.

socorny

9/19/17 3:07pm

If pronounced the same as Ripliancum, it should sound like "LeeAnn". Not good.

And he'll have to correct everyone calling him Liam his whole life.

I'd go with "Rip" for short. I new a guy named Rip. He was cool.

My dogs name is Rip...

Is her middle name 'ancum' by chance?

Dread Pirate Westley

9/21/17 10:20pm

Although that is ridiculous, you realize you live in CA, right? On the madness scale, 3rd gender is a billion X worse

jdub

9/19/17 2:12pm

were we talking about driver's licenses or names? geesh...each state has it's

nashty

9/19/17 2:15pm

Thought it was ironic any CA resident would call out anybody else for "madness", therefore perfectly apropos.

jdub

9/19/17 2:18pm

You're both from AZ. So we can all make fun of Utah AND CA.

mvtoro

exactly. And I don't mind swiping at AZ either.

big Rip Hamilton fans and couldn't think of a better "long" name.

how do you know my kids aren't named nephi, abinidi, abish & mohanrimoriancumer?

nashty

9/19/17 2:17pm

That's a big leap. I've got this guy who names his kids BOM names and is barely active

I like that she recognizes that it's a rude thing to post but only if you know

fattycoug

I agree. This is reason #5846 I hate social media and those who abuse it. Some of those responses are awful.

If you name your kid something so dumb you deserve ridicule

TCuz

9/19/17 2:27pm

I think you're thought on this is dumb. Can you send me a happy picture of you

fattycoug

9/19/17 2:31pm

Your kids must have dumb names.

TCuz

9/19/17 2:32pm

Only possible conclusion. Couldn't be that you're a jerk and I'm kind.

fattycoug

9/19/17 2:38pm

Sounds like the parents naming their kids these horrible names are jerks

TCuz

9/19/17 2:40pm

We need more overreaction in the world. Thanks for your support in that effort.

I have a cousin who's son is named Mahonri. Absolutely not a name I'd choose for

Funny that this comes from, can't construct a sentence "Torrie".

JAGA97

Whose name is one letter away from Torrid.

Utah is weird.

You do realize the dad is from Arizona . . . Just saying maybe it isn't Utah . .

It's a moron thing. Morons (of all religions) are doing it everywhere

Wrong. Only Utah mormons are weird. Ask any non-Utah Mormon.

Exactly right. Definitely not just a Utah Mormon thing.

"Utahns" ... Sounds like a lot of personal attacking.

LaVellIfIKnow

Broad attack. Whether they're guilty or not of unusual naming.

you don't understand what "personal" means then

nashty

Personal, group... Either way the rules are applied the same way.

nashty

You make a good point. We probably all could remember that when posting.

Disco LaFleur

9/19/17 3:49pm

I would argue the same about you

jdub

9/19/17 3:33pm

"i can join in laughing at the names"...except that's not what you did. you

nashty

9/19/17 3:45pm

Not true at all. I did mention how ridiculous that name is (right there in the subject)

jdub

9/19/17 3:59pm

Oh, and on the "but fell short" 2 POTDs and 5 th'ups might suggest that at least a few others found it funny

jdub

9/19/17 4:02pm

um...ds7 is one of the 2 POTD's...i'm sorry this doesn't help your case.

nashty

9/19/17 6:24pm

Sounds like a personal attack.

LaVellIfIKnow

jdub, maybe you should call the FBI or something. That is what petty people do
