A SOAPBOX GONE WRONG....

(first i would like to say i am not pregnant and this story has nothing to do with such things)

So....I, Vanessa have a philosophy on what you should not name your baby daughter when you the mom are 5'8 and over and your husband is over 6' tall. Maybe it's just my years of growing up tall, so for you untall people--this means your daughter is going to be tall and probably play sports. The names to stay away from are names overly girly & petite or butchy names.....you can't name her lilly or daisy...those are delicate names and just don't fit the body if you know what i mean. Then, you can't name her Helga, Scout, Joanne....you can only imagine someone from the sidelines screaming 'Go get em Jo!'....NOOOO....That is wrong. Hopefully you get the picture. Well...thinking that everyone knows these rules, here are a few stories of how me speaking my mind has gotten me in a little trouble....

1) There is a girl and guy a bearly knew and they are totally way over 6 footers...she knew she was going to have a girl and i went into my whole philosophy about wrong names for tall girls...everyone looked at me like i was crazy. Almost immediately after I was done, she said, well we decided to name her...(ok i can't remember the name, but it was butchy.) I was so embarrased...but then i thought some day this girl is going to hate her name and she'll be glad to know someone tried to fix it.

2) Tonight I met the cutest 6 month old...she had a smile so big. I met her without meeting the 8 people standing around with her. Her name: Lilly! I said to my friend, 'I love the name lilly, but i will never get to name my kid that cause she's gunna be tall and big and lilly doesn't go." I then get introduced to her parents who say, 'well, she's going to be really tall.' oh great!
