Baby name meanings

So I just looked up my son’s name (Donovan) and found out that it means “dark prince” 😂.

Anyone else choose a name for their baby with an...... interesting meaning??

The name Callee is a Gaelic baby name. In Gaelic the meaning of the name Callee is: meaning from the forest.

We combined my nickname (Cal) and my grandmother’s name (Lee) to get the spelling.

I named my son Seven. Seven is the number of completeness and perfection, both physically and spiritually. It derives much of its meaning from being tied directly to God’s creation of all things. ❤️ and he has my late Father’s nick name, Chase, as his middle name.

My youngest son has two middle names because the first middle name my husband chose which is Philippe and it means Lover of Horses and I thought it sounded creepy. So I chose Oberyn for a second middle name. It's derived from Oberon which means Noble or Bearlike. Also Oberyn is from Game of Thrones which I love.

Anamta (An-amta) this is actually a phrase in arabic from a prayer & quranic verse. Translated it means “those you have blessed”. The ‘you’ here is God. Can also be read as those God has blessed/ those blessed by God.
Its unique as the name is actually a phrase.

Nursery and eating off the floor

My boy starts nursery next week at 12m. He loves to practice his pincer grip. He loves to practice eating. We just went for nursery taster and he spent the time outside trying to eat sticks and dried leaves. We stopped him but i was worried the nursery staff were too busy with the sick kids to notice.

Editing to add - there were alot of staff outside though and it wouldve been harder to be faster than us at stopping him eat things as we were both watching like hawks. They say they have 1:3 ratio of staff and that they would notice.

I'm really worried he will choke on something he shouldn't be eating but he LOVED being outside.

My partner suggested we ask he be kept inside until this phase has passed...is that too much?

Screen-Free

Any other moms doing no screens? How do you get anything done or deal with the crying?? I feel like I never get a moment for myself or to even do things that need to be done like cleaning or cooking. My baby loves to be held all day but hates carriers. No judgement please! We are trying to do no screens for the first two years. Sometimes I have to just let him cry for a bit while I do something for myself and it feels awful. And let's not even get into the screaming in the car...I don't know if it's true and I feel kinda bad for saying this but I feel like screen-free parents just deal with a lot more crying 😞

Being too sensitive?

I wanted people’s opinions on this and wondering if anyone else is in a similar situation! My husband is being super sensitive over friends and families opinions on who our new born baby daughter looks like. I think it’s ridiculous we are even bickering over this and having heated conversations. A lot of people have said she looks like her dad but some are saying she looks like me and just because he can’t see it, he gets annoyed with them for thinking it. I had a friend that came round to meet her and she said “she’s 100% ALL you” (me), he found this rude and disrespectful. I don’t think it is at all! Everyone sees babies differently and everyone has an opinion. I for sure don’t get upset if someone says baby girl looks like her daddy. It takes 2 to make a baby and she is gorgeous so it doesn’t matter, I’m the one that grew and birthed her but I don’t take offence! We then had a deep conversation and he opened up to me and said because he didn’t have much growing up as a child, he just would have loved our baby to look like him and to carry his features, considering she’s his biggest achievement. He’s convinced all MY friends and family just want her to look so badly like me and not him. (He’s very good looking may I add). I just get anxious every time someone comes round now as I don’t know what they will say regarding who she looks like! This is something I cannot control. He should be proud she’s gorgeous, happy and healthy. What are your opinions on this?!
