What do you think of "AMES" for a boy? Posted: 04-11-08 07:33am


When I tell all my girlfriends that my husband and I are naming our first born AMES, the women are openly puzzled by the name or ask why, which is rather rude. Even if you don't care for the name you should still support it, IMO. All my husband's friends (guys) seem to really like it. Is the name that bad or are my friends just odd?

Ames was a cheap department store (a lot like K-mart or Wal-mart) that went out of business a while ago. Sometimes people comment on names because they really are bad.

I know you are not asking for a review of the name, but I think Ames would be a great nickname for James or Amos. By itself...it reminds me K-mart. I disagree with what you said about how even if a person doesn't like a name they should support it. Where is that a rule? I will not support anyone if they are using a name I think is bad.

Living in Florida, I have NEVER heard of Ames Dept store. Thanks for the feedback but a non-existant discount store will not sway our opinion of the name.

Then why ask for opinions? If you don't want to hear that people think your name is bad...don't ask!

If you and your husband like Ames that is all that matters.

Agreed.

It's your little one; you can name him whatever you'd like!

What are you thinking of for a middle name? I really like Ames! Some people are soooo ignorant, do not let them sway your opinion, you will regret it if you do! And yes I agree, people who question or act negative when you tell them of your new baby boy's name, are ignorant. PLEASE PEOPLE - have some respect! I would never disrespect someone like that. If you don't like it, FINE, you are entitled to your opinion - just don't respond at all, if you can't say something nice!
