Lew means lion in some european languages and llewellyn, lewis, lou, leo, etc, are all names having to do with lions. It’s not the most common name with that root, but it’s the name of a king that unified wales and not knowing it at all is p shameful.

Of all the crazy things in this thread, the thing that has blindsided me most is people not knowing the name Llewellyn.

WIBTA if I tell my exes new wife that her ring was actually mine that I bought? About 4 years ago I almost got engaged to my ex, but he called it off 3 weeks before our engagement event. He had really big issues with diamonds and I really wanted a diamond ring since young. I researched rings, and diamonds, and gold quality etc and because he couldn't put his views aside, he gave me the money and I got to buy whatever ring I wanted. I chose a simple solitaire ring and I remember it well. I put in lots of effort to find me a ring I really liked. Once he called off the engagement, I gave him the ring back. I know from speaking to him months after he had kept the ring and didn't know what to do with it. I have since moved on, gotten married and have a child with someone else. Recently, through mutual friends on social media, I saw he got married. After feeding my curiosity, I looked through his new wife's profile, and I saw my ring! My ex was cheap in our relationship so I know it's the same ring. I'm two minded about whether I should tell her or get someone else to tell her, or just leave it. Jewellery is sentimental, and that's such a low move for him to give his new wife my ring...he didn't even put in the effort to buy it...I did.

I kind of want her to say something about it on FB so everyone she knows can mock her for still being hung up on a relationship from 4 years ago despite 'moving on' and having a kid with someone else.

I have a stepdad, never knew my real father, so that would change some of the dynamic, but I just call him dad, to me that's what he is. Even when I hate him, he will always be my father. That said, that line right there makes me very suspicious about this. I don't think this person is as nice and thoughtful as they think they are, but that's just my read. If they knew they were going to trade up anyway, just give the same things, and no one would have to think, "I got no candy, they must think I'm fat".

Cyks posted:But how is it suppose to be pronounced? Lou-Ellen? As in the Simpsons character and Ellen DeGeneres? I'm Welsh and I could tell you how to pronounce it properly but I couldn't write it. You'd be better off looking at a YouTube video. In Welsh "Ll" is it's own letter that doesn't exist in English and it's own sound. The best I can tell you I'm writing is that it sounds crossed between the English "ch" and "sh" sounds while trying to clear your throat. Llywelen is therefore properly pounced "welshsound-oo-well-en". If you're not going to bother learning to pronounce it properly I don't know why you'd name your child Llywelyn but "lou-well-en" is probably close enough for anyone but actual Welsh people. I mean you could call them Lew as a nickname, but really it's not different to naming your kid Christopher and deciding you will call them Chris because Christopher is a long name for every day talk.

Rule of thumb I used for my kids is unusual/uncommon first name, and then a more traditional/'normal' middle name so if they decide they dont like having a weird name they can go by their middle name.

I always love these types of stories! AITA for not wanting my sister to be in my bridal shower because she’ll be wearing an arm sling quote:Hi everyone. Let me provide some details to this so I can get a genuine response to my actions. My sister is 20, 4 years younger than me, and has been playing sports her whole life. Just over three years ago, she discovered she has a torn ligament in her elbow that would require surgery to repair.

My (25F) partner (24M) of eight years watched a porn video and is convinced the girl in the video is me.quote:I have been so confused and hurt for the past day since he messaged me the video followed with a ‘we’re done.’ The girl in the video is of similar race to me and her lower half looks a bit like mine but that is where physical similarities end. The video isn’t of very high quality but you can make out she has a different nose, hair, face in general (only jawline is very similar). He won’t listen to sense. He says her moans sound distinctly like mine and it ‘sounds a lot like my voice.’ He believes it could have been from when I was around 16, just before we met.

Didn't there used to be a cadre of porn sleuths on SA who could track down a specific video based on the vaguest of descriptions, like "brunette, longish hair, Aerosmith poster on the wall"? Give them a screenshot and they could probably have the actress' entire filmography within 10 minutes.

AITA for laughing uncontrollably at my son when he asked me to replace a Christmas gift he broke out of anger? I know I likely am, but the extend of which I'm unsure about. My son is almost 17. This Christmas we bought him an expensive computer gaming chair, as he plays a lot of online multiplayer shooters. My son has some anger issues, which he's currently in therapy for, and these shooters tend to bring out his temper more than normal. However, for the past few months he's been keeping it together well, so I figured the chair might be a fair present. I was wrong, because the day after Christmas he was gaming, started to have bad luck and apparently people in-game were loving with him because he was losing his patience. This culminated in him screaming insults and then picking up his chair and slamming it into the ground, breaking the back of it. After talking him down, we had a very serious conversation about him no longer being allowed to play multiplayer games while under my roof until his therapist feels comfortable with his progress, talked about coping mechanisms, etc. However, I made it very clear this was unacceptable and he would be grounded. We've had these heart-to-hearts many times, so it's not like every time he has an outburst I'm making light of it. It's a serious issue and treated like such. However, when he came to me later that day and told me he'd like me to replace the chair because it was a gift, he "really liked it" and "it would only be fair", the frustration, disbelief and disappointment in his behavior boiled over and I started laughing hysterically. As in a full laughing fit, barely able to breathe or talk. The more he'd plead his case, the harder I'd laugh, repeatedly asking him how it was "fair" in his mind to have me replace a gift I paid for that he broke in anger. This obviously pissed him off more, which led to him getting emotional, but I just couldn't seem to stop myself. I tried walking out of the room and asking him to drop it but every time he'd say "but I need a chair!" or "What am I supposed to do now" I'd laugh again. I tried explaining that I'm not laughing at his feelings, I'm laughing at how absurd it is for him as a teenager to expect me to replace poo poo he can't be bothered to treat with respect and then whine about it when he broke it. He's still pissed about it, and feels slighted. I feel bad for laughing, and honestly wonder if I had some sort of mini-stress break myself, because it's never happened before and I couldn't seem to stop. But at the same time, I stand by the fact that his request was ridiculous enough to make most people want to laugh. How badly did I gently caress up?

WIBTA if I stole my girlfriend’s daughter’s Pokémon card? So a little backstory I’m 29 years old, and my girlfriend is a 30 woman (who I love very much), has two girls (6 and 8). Before Christmas I bought them each two packs of Pokémon cards and myself two packs of Pokémon cards. We had a bunch of fun opening them and seeing which ones we got. TBH they have no idea how the cards work so in the car when we opened them I traded one of my worse, but “cute” cards with the youngest child for a really good card at no hesitation. The youngest then told me that she only wanted Pokémon cards for Christmas. I happened to leave my cards at my girlfriends house with no thought of losing them. However, when I came back I found out that both of them had split my cards between themselves leaving me with none. So Christmas comes and I bought her three special packs of Pokémon cards, with four, 10 card packs in each one (totaling 126 cards in total). What I didn’t tell them was that I also placed packs of Pokémon cards in their stockings which they only found while taking them down last night. They opened them to find a holographic “Mew” card in them. The oldest explained to the youngest that the Mew “didn’t even do anything” because they’re not very good at reading and there’s no damage numbers on the card, I know better though. Would I be the rear end in a top hat if I take the card for myself since they already took my cards from me and don’t know any better. I don’t think my girlfriend would care but I also haven’t asked her yet.
