Tzen posted:lol on the subject of names, it took ages to figure out the middle names Are middle names mandatory in Usa? My kid is just Name Dadslastname Momslastname, and we barely considered adding an extra first name. We did discuss the order of the last names (mine is technically a middle name), but it was only really serious on my wife's part. Also reading about covid over there is bizarre, here in Denmark we are all but back to normal. I do not envy your freedom, but you have my sympathies. I have basically no worries leaving my 4 year old with 32 other kids 4 days a week (and one day with my mother).

middle names are a super easy way to get your overbearing father to be happy you gave him a sort-of namesake. I mean, in my case at least.

Middle names are where you go hog wild with whatever dumb poo poo that you just have to pass on after opting for a sensible first name. If the kid grows into a cool middle name, great. If not, it's not like they ever have to use it.

we wanted our kid to have a nature middle name that is also an acceptable name that could be put on a resume or whatever and not be thrown out and it worked. we had a post it full of potential first names but we didn’t know until we met her and it just fell into place. the first name has like 5 different nicknames so she has tons of options

It does indeed suck. We've both been wearing masks inside and she's been keeping her distance from the kids as best as she can. She almost definitely picked it up from one of her students. Lol.

we loved the name Ida, and then 8 months and one day after she was born, the storm almost destroyed an American city. at least it wasn’t as bad as Katrina, but it was odd hearing that name all last weekend on the news!

I'm really feeling the COVID and RPG chat, totally my jam. My kindergartner is only in school because of the mask mandate plus HVAC upgrade and she's coming out at a moment's notice if things worsen. I wouldn't send her at all if we hadn't done such a bad job socializing and teaching her the past year.meanolmrcloud posted:we loved the name Ida, and then 8 months and one day after she was born, the storm almost destroyed an American city. at least it wasn’t as bad as Katrina, but it was odd hearing that name all last weekend on the news!

Tzen posted:I still lol at the parents that named their kids Isis before ISIS rose to prominence I met an adult Isis a few years back. She didn't give a gently caress, and it was really easy to tell her apart from the terrorists. My wife is also called Ida, but I was the last person to break something by throwing it. Honestly, don't sweat it with stuff like that. The important thing is not picking a name that gets associated with negative stereotypes, like Jayden or something. And even that advice is mostly just thinly veiled classism.

I don’t know if this is true but apparently hyphenated last names on SS cards won’t show the hyphens any more? my kid and her cousin were born 6 weeks apart and both are hyphenated but the cousins card doesn’t have the hyphen and we do. the Social Security guy said they don’t add it anymore . this was like 5 years ago.

middle names aren't considered part of a legal name (according to the SSA, not sure if this is true more broadly). i don't exactly remember what the birth certificate they gave us to fill out was but i think there was room to write more than one middle name if you wanted to. especially if you wrote small.

skewetoo posted:Googling "why am I bad at smash" My kid wouldn’t play breath of the wild past the first area for a couple of years. Then when I picked it up and started having fun he got interested. It wasn’t until he got annoyed that I had completed most of the content without beating Ganon that he was motivated to pick up the game and show me how it’s done. 😆

I will never finish botw and that's fine with me we keep finding dumb quests to do and it's way more fun to hunt down and tame a giant horse I named Big Boy than it is to defeat Ganon.

Oh, I had already done all of the quests and was spending my time doing dumb stuff like hunting down korok seeds and playing with speed runner tricks like bokoblin bouncing. He was aghast that I had no interest in beating the Big Bad. And honestly Ganon is kind of anticlimactic. By the time you feel ready you’re overprepared. Maybe it’s different in master mode. Luckily he’s as terrible at smash as I am.
