New Name
Posted: 02-19-07 10:30am

Ok, so I've been thinking.

Should I change .kayoni's name to plain .oni?

Her name, initially was going to be .oni .joilee. But people gave me sh't, so I changed it to .kayoni.

I don't like it. In my heart, I want just .oni.

But I *just* got her birth certificate.

I was thinking, when I go to get our marriage license, I could change her name.

Personally, I love the name .Kayoni .Joilee.. It's very unique & it just sounds really pretty. But if you really don't like it, I'd go ahead & get it changed! I can't imagine raising a baby with a name I hated lol.

Well if you think her name should just be .oni then got for it,why not? it's not like you call her that anyhow.one thing I do want to say though,you don't necessarily have to.my aunt named her son jarred pierce and she didn't like Jarred so she calls him pierce but never changed it.if it means that much to you,go for it.

imo,I like her name! it goes with her middle name so well!

Love it's up to you. if you just like .Oni then change it. i love it. I wouldnt' have given you caca about it. it's what ever you want. i would change it...if you would wrather .Oni as apposed to .kayoni. She is your child and you should never let people sway you in any direction that you dont' wish to go. you seem like a pretty strong gal and i am finding it kinda odd that you would have gone with that other people said.

you decide, but i like just .Oni.

right! And when people say it(her maw maw) they make it sound so stupid. They're like "kay-oooni"...and it makes me cringe!

I mentioned it to .baron and he had no problem with it. He said sure...whatever you want to do.

Besides, when I introduce her...it's "this is .oni."

I wonder how much it is to change a name?

That's just it. I like .kayoni. But I don't like how other people say it. They totally mess it up. Ya know?

My granny still can't say .kayoni. It's "kahunas, keani, etc." And she's not just playin around...she seriously gets confused! lmao! It's hilarious.

I don't know.

I don't know girl. I know you call her oni (which I can never remember how to pronounce because i'm retarded like that) and it suits her. Kayoni is a pretty name though. Confused You could always leave it the same and just call her oni. it's a nickname. and at least in her case her nickname has something to do with her name. my nickname has absolutely nothing to do with my name. Mad i always have to explain it. oh crap, i did the same thing to chuy!! i hope he doesn't grow up ticked at me for it like i did with my mum. Embarassed

It's "oh-nee"!

you so silly!

Ok, let me explain exatcly why I want to change it to just .oni.

If we have another girl, I wanted ".Keoki .jhanelle." But .baron says *hell* no! He wants ".kasia .jhanelle."

But he's fine with just .oki.

And I *really* want .Oni & .Oki! How effin precious is that?!?!

So that's why I want to change her name to .oni so I can name the other girl .oki!

Is that wrong?

Thanks .sadie!!!!!!!!

Kay is a nickname that I got as an adult. *edit* I will erase this in approximately 5 minutes.

I love the name .Oni but I'll be totally honest and say that I'm not keen on the idea of two sisters being called .Oni and .Oki. But that's me.

Perhaps I don't like it because the cats on .Blue .Peter (popular kids show here) were called .Kari and .Oki...

I don't think it's wrong .Sarah.. The names .Oni and .Oki *do* sound really cute together.

If it's what you're going to call her anyway I don't see any reason why you shouldn't get it officially changed to .Oni!

No-one ever calls me by my real name and I'm sometimes tempted to legally change my name to .Zanny. hehe

I like my name even though people mispronounce it all the time. Rolling Eyes I don't like my old nickname. When I went to college and people started calling me "Kay" I was sooo happy I had something to replace that old nickname. My mother never calls me by anything but my old nick and so as a consequence so did everyone else. I started school under a nickname. That was horrible.
