Why are people so judge mental on baby names?

Why do people have to be so judgemental about baby names?Why are people so judge mental on baby names?
Because everyone is entitled to their opinion. And they're entitled to express it here, as long as they're not being profane or smutty or racist.

It's just as judgmental to LIKE a name, you know. But that doesn't bother you, for some reason.

So YOU are being judgmental of the people with negative opinions. Who are you to judge their opinions?
When someone posts the question, "What are your opinions on these names" or "Do you like these names", of course people are going to respond with their feelings.

There are many names I have expressed dislike for, but if I met a child with that name, I wouldn't be judgemental of the parents or child.

When I dislike a name on here, it's got nothing to do with people with the name, it's the fact that I personally dislike the name and wouldn't use it for one of my children.



Opinions will always differ from person to person.Why are people so judge mental on baby names?
People are judgmental by nature. Whether or not you can help it, you're always judging everything in your head. Everybody has different tastes in names, so of course they're going to have an opinion on a name, whether positive or negative.



Of course, there's a difference between being judgmental and flat out rude, BUT many people figure, if you ask a question be prepared to deal with the negative comments and opinions.Why are people so judge mental on baby names?
I think people are judgemental about baby names because there are some odd names for kids lately, and people don't think about the child having this name for the rest of their life. My mom always said that if you go to the back door and yell the kids name a few times, that will let you know if it is a good name for a child.
Because their trying to be that person to stick up for the unborn child, and try to prevent them being stuck with the bad name!



When I have a more negative opinion on someone's baby name, I feel bad for the child and I try to give them reasons as to why that name is a bad decision!



These are human beings were naming, and some people want to be so creative and unique that they forget that a person has to go through life with that name
If people ask what they think of this baby name I'm going to give my opinion and If I hate the name I'm going to say that I hate it. I really don't care what someone names their kid. It's not being judge mental its giving someone my opinion like they asked if you don't someone to judge it don't ask simple :D
People are judgmental because you are naming a human being, and some names are absolutely ridiculous. My friend's cousin named her son Hazard. Are you telling me that you wouldn't be judgmental over a name like that? And names with "you-neek" spellings such as Mahckynzye or Allyssibithe are NOT cute, they're just going to make life difficult for your child always having to spell out their names for people, and some of them (like Allyssibithe) will likely have a hard time knowing how to spell their names by the time school starts. Other names like Spike or Rex are often suited more for a dog than a human being. So many people these days are trying way too hard to give their kids weird names, not thinking that their child will be unique regardless if he or she is one of many in their class. A name doesn't make you unique, something that many parents these days don't seem to understand.
People are judgmental about everything. Plus, this is an anonymous public forum. People come here to get straight forward and honest opinions about names. If you are super attached to a name and don't want to hear any criticisms about it then don't come on here to ask what a bunch of complete strangers think. If an opinion is being asked for people will give it even if it's not what you want to hear so if you don't want to hear it then don't ask.
Judgmental links into honesty. And honestly if the focal-point of this forum! It's why so many people post on here when they could have just asked their family or friends - they (subconsciously) seek honesty and that is often not something one will receive from parents and friends since they're far more likely to sugarcoat in order to spare hurt feelings.



I personally don't like it when I'm told that my names aren't being well-received by some - but if they give valid explanations instead of just "I DUN LIKE IT! GROSS!" - then I sometimes reevaluate my opinion. And that's a good thing because, if you don't get reasoning's, or any judgment at all in some cases, then there will most likely be problems.



For example; a woman had twin girls and posted on this forum. Apparently she refused to listen to any sugarcoated opinions, had the twins, and named them Vagena and Vamajesty. No joke. And she regretted it seven months later after all the stick she had been getting. THAT is why people need serious answers!
People are not judgemental, they're just honest. If someone doesn't like the name you have picked out for a baby/book character/whatever, they will tell you, because at most it will be affecting another person for their entire lives.



You ask for opinions and we give them. Would you rather get an honest answer or have us all sucking up to you? (not "you" directly)
I have no idea. Seriously, let people name their kids what they want to, and stay out of it. It's not going to affect your life any. So please stop.
I'm not sure, but it's sad that people worry more what others will think of their baby names. We want everyone to like the name we pick.
I completely agree!

If they don't like it, they want to fire off with some smart comment, making them look bad!!

God bless! : )
Everyone is entitled to an opinion.
because some are aweful and some are really cute, but i dont get that syked about them lol.
