My GF says I cannot call my future daughter QueerSpawn

[La Lioness Priyanka]

she says queerspawn will grow up with poor self esteem if i do. and that she prohibits me from calling queerspawn by this name.

is she right?

[Critters2]

1. I gotta go with your GF on this one. Sorry. nt

[La Lioness Priyanka]

3. not even as a nickname in her teens?

sigh!

[Critters2]

9. Well, try it once when she's in her teens

If she just gives you that annoyed teenager :eyes:, then you're golden and can keep using it.

If she starts railing about how you'll ruin her life and she'll hate you forever and on and on...I wouldn't do it again.

[ohiosmith]

2. she is wrong

[Beer Snob-50]

4. there may be self esteem problems here!

don't do it!!

[LeftyMom]

5. But can you call her a breeder if she's straight?

That's the burning question. :P

[La Lioness Priyanka]

10. i will call her a breeder if shes straight. and i will blame my partner if shes republican.

:P

[LeftyMom]

13. Are you making the sex with a Republican?

Are pretty lesbians allowed to be Republicans? For the love of all that's holy, why?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

14. no shes seriously not a republican...but i tease her and say if queerspawn

is a republican i will blame her for it.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

29. I was once personal assistant to a hot lesbian Republican.

I don't understand it either.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

36. "They'll screw everybody who's like me, but since I'm upper class, I'll manage.

Heck, watch Rush defend all those gay Republicans! And I get my tax cuts. Wheee!"

Roy Cohn redux.

[Kixel]

38. LOL!

That may be my favorite post of all time.

[ScreamingMeemie]

42. No...ask haruka. She'll have to call her rhymes with creeber or dreeder..

so as not to offend. :hi:

[Richard Steele]

6. Gonna hafta go with yer GF on this one.

"Spawn" just has too many negative subconscious associations.
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Ravenseye]

7. resist your urge

I know how you feel, but don't do it. Oh sure you'll slip up, but overall you won't want to.

[flvegan]

8. Shorten it into something "cutesie" like "queespee"

You and your gf will know, but the young 'un won't. Have your fun with no backlash.

My work here is done.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

11. she says that she wont even let me refer to the girl as queerspawn

[pdx_prog]

12. Am I missing something?

Does your GF have a daughter or are you planning on adopting a baby?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

15. ten years later i am planning on adopting a girl.

[pdx_prog]

18. Go for it Pri....

a lion cub...

:toast:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

19. i will. alone or partnered. in my late 30's i want to adopt a baby girl.

around the age of 5. probably biracial (those are the hardest children to adopt out)

[pdx_prog]

22. You have a good heart...

There are so many kids out there that need and deserve a home where they are wanted, appreciated and loved...:)

I have a feeling there wouldn't be a shortage of any of that in your house...:)

[LeftyMom]

16. I'm sure they have sperm donors (formal or no) in New York.

A couple I worked with was going to use donor sperm from one partner's brother to insem the other partner, that way they'd both be related to their kid. Unusual, certainly, but a pretty cool idea, I thought.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

17. i dont want to have a baby of my own. that totally freaks me out.

i want to adopt.

[AllegroRondo]

20. Good for you

there are so many kids out there that need good parents. You're doing a great thing.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

24. i am not doing it today, just to clarify.

i think in 7-10 years i will be ready financially for a child.

[Solon]

33. That's a good way to go about it...

Too many prospective parents try to adopt kids when they are either not emotionally or financially ready for it, and get rejected. The emotional ups and downs associated with this can really wear on a couple, plan well ahead, and give yourself time to meet any requirements necessary to be able to adopt, and you will be successful and be a good parent as well.

[LeftyMom]

21. Well, I was just bothered my the assumption that you couldn't.

Assuming all your bits work, you or MrsPri certainly could if you wanted. That's all I was trying to say.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

23. oh yeah i figured thats what you meant. i just wanted to clarify where

queerspawn would come from.

:loveya:

[SOteric]

25. When you have a child in your life,

you'll likely want the best for him or her as they grow to adulthood.

While it's a fine cultural statement you're considering, no one should have to live their life as someone else's socio-political commentary. If the child grows to seek a career in sciences, politics, or to succeed in business; he or she would be stigmatised and find that coworkers and academia were disinclined to take one seriously with such a name.

But privately, as a nickname, anything you call your child with affection will not harm their self-esteem. It's all in how you say it and how you value your child.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

26. oh this is totally going to be a nickname. i would never give her that as her first name.

i think i might name her kennedy or cameron as a first name. gender neutral. though trends in names change. so who knows.

[Gormy Cuss]

27. In the words of the future queerspawn, your girlfriend is

a butt butt poopy-head. }(

[La Lioness Priyanka]

28. lol

you really are very funny


:rofl:

[ThomCat]

30. Tell Lisa I agree with you.

She'll love being called Queerspawn. It's going to give her steet cool creds when she's a brooding teen. :7

[La Lioness Priyanka]

31. given the nicknames i had as a child..atleast this one will be cool right?

[ThomCat]

32. Absolutely!

It'll do her a lot more good in school than "Manda Panda" or "Buttons." It doesn't make her sound like she's a pet.

[Solon]

34. Guess it depends on how its used...

Also how it could be misused by kids in school and stuff if they learn about the nickname. Its cute to say when its family or close friends who say it, but can be used as an insult as well.

[TheBaldyMan]

35. well duh! everyone knows that's a boy's name

[La Lioness Priyanka]

37. i want her to have a gender nuetral name/nickname

[TheBaldyMan]

39. how about "it-thing-being" , IMO that has a certain ring to it.

[wildhorses]

40. what about gay dawn?

well...wtf??...it rhymes:P

[La Lioness Priyanka]

41. hmm

i'll think about it

[YellowRubberDuckie]

43. Wait...Are you pregnant, Priyanka?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

44. no dear god no....

we were just discussing my future theoretical daughter...

i refer to this unborn daughter as queerspawn

[YellowRubberDuckie]

52. I love it.

Want some of my husband's...stuff? I'm giving it away for free. LOL
Duckie

[La Lioness Priyanka]

53. lol...no ..i dont want to actually have a baby

queerspawn will be adopted...

:)

[YellowRubberDuckie]

57. Then technically, queerspawn won't be queerspawn.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

58. well she will be parented by queers. its not like lisa could get me knocked up anyway

:)

[YellowRubberDuckie]

60. No...but that's where the sperm would come in...

[Radical Activist]

55. if its a boy, would you use the same name?

Just wondering. It sounds like a gender neutral name. :)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

56. since i will adopt. i know it will be a girl.

queerspawn will be her nickname. she will get a mundane gender neutral first name

[Radical Activist]

59. ok

Well, it was an intersting thought.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

45. Playing devil's advocate , and out of curiousity.

If you did'nt call her Queerspawn and someone else did , how would you feel?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

46. i would feel fine. just to clarify matters i am not really serious about this one.

i just refer to my future child as queerspawn.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

50. I see. I envy anyone who has kids ....

I can't wait to have some of my own ... but I can wait. Best of luck when the time comes for you and your gf :) :hi:

[Crabby Appleton]

47. she's right, never give a kid a name that starts with "Q"

[La Lioness Priyanka]

48. why?

[Fleshdancer]

49. I say go for it

you can definitely call her that for the first three years since most people don't really develop long term memory until they reach the age of 3.

My daughter is 6 already and I still call her chickenbutt. She doesn't seem to mind yet but if it leads to therapy some day then the introspection will probably be good for her anyway. :D

[La Lioness Priyanka]

51. lol.

:rofl:

chickenbutt!!!

[Radical Activist]

54. tough breaks

I think its an awesome name.

[dropkickpa]

61. Go for it!!!!

I call Dropkid Stink butt and also Monkey Back (she's got a hairy back). It's actually to the point where I over heard a neighbor kid calling her chicken and she said "I'm not a chicken, I'm a monkey so mlllla (sound of a tongue being stuk out)".

I was called squeekbomb when I was kid (I had a VERY high pitched voice and was usually always shrieking about something or other), never bugged me. Though it's funny now because I have a pretty raspy low voice (think kinda like Kathleen Turner, with lots more swearing and a very slight Pittsburgh accent).
