00:02so aiden wrote us a note saying that his wife is about five months pregnant
00:06jeff this is something you can relate to yeah and uh they're getting into some serious baby
00:12naming drama uh-oh in aiden's household he said i never thought something like this could be so
00:18complicated we know our baby's gonna be a boy okay my wife is insisting that her son's name
00:25be special okay so if it's rob it'll be rob with two b's if it's sean it will be spelled
00:35s-c-h-a-w-n-e
00:38oh my gosh and if it's kevin it's got to be kevin with two v's aiden says i think it's
00:48stupid
00:49and the poor kid is gonna have to live with explaining why his special name is so weird
00:57is this as pointless as i feel it is or should i just let her have this one wow okay
01:04so right off
01:04of the bat when you said special name i was like oh it's gonna be a family name or something
01:10which
01:10i totally respect and love or a word that's not really a name but you're making it a name which
01:15is also that can be an interesting thing right i think that the spelling of a name is not nearly
01:21as detrimental to a child and then an adult than the pronunciation of said name you know what i mean
01:28yeah so like aiden if his parents insisted his name was a dan right you know what i mean right
01:35then
01:35it's like aiden it's a dan right versus like if i saw kevin with two v's i would say kevin
01:42you know
01:43what and then and then he would say no it's kevin kevin now if i would take that too far
01:50i would
01:50put my foot down if it were a pronunciation okay specialty but if i were aiden i would say meet
01:57me
01:57halfway it has to be something like rob with two b's yeah it's rob rob yeah right like r-a
02:03-b-e
02:04you can even spell it like that like broccoli broccoli exactly good point very good point
02:10that'd be pretty special very special but i draw the line at pronunciation okay and even that sean
02:17s-c-h-a-w-n-e a little bit of a stretch but i still see sean so it
02:23does look like sean okay maybe i
02:26could i could get with this but so i think you got to meet halfway remember she's the one carrying
02:31the
02:31baby so you got to really respect that and give her more than halfway shan i think this is something
02:35for you to fight about this is a decision that is going to affect your son's life for the rest
02:42of
02:42his life yeah i'm really big into naming your baby um to also be an adult yes and to live
02:49an adult
02:50life right they will be living with that name as an adult much longer than they will as a child
02:56for
02:56sure point and i'm just thinking of poor baby kevin with two v's you know having to correct people in
03:03an email saying oh it's that's not how you spell my name or just getting offended by someone who
03:09has i my name is misspelled all the time yeah right people make it their own it's my name names
03:16are very
03:17important yeah you get a-n-d-y a-n-d-i all the time and i get it sometimes
03:23um spell check will just
03:25will just auto correct it on you and but then it's usually turned into angie because you know that
03:31my name ends in an ie right so that angie summer show just doesn't roll off the tongue ring so
03:37like
03:38i like it i kind of agree with both of you about digging your heels in um and i'm gonna
03:42say yeah
03:43aiden you are you should you need this battle oh you need this battle take the fight yes do not
03:50screw up your child and i'm sorry if anyone feels differently and i'm sorry if there's anybody out
03:55there named kevin because we might have offended you and i want we want to informally
04:03imagine writing that in cursive the two v's right that's you're never gonna find that on a keychain
04:08either no never you're not so i'd also be curious on top of advice for aiden or a dan i
04:16want to know
04:17does anybody have a name like this yeah where it's misspelled in a way yeah that and are you okay
04:24with that are you annoyed with that are you okay with that because i think that's going to bring
04:27that personal to give a voice to this little kiddo great idea 610-660-6925
