Speaker 1 (00:01):
Dumb in the Morning with Melissa Moore, the podcast on
Cool one oh five. There's a note that came in
from Kelly and Golden, and she says, is it ever
okay to offer your opinion when people tell you what
they're considering for a baby name? Now before we even
(00:23):
read her story, because she's got a story attached to this,
answer that question, Melissa, I'm.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Going to go initially, no, nope, it's not your business.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
It is it is not.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Nope, nope. And I think that's why so many people
now don't tell you the baby name. And it's not
because they don't know, it's because they don't want to
hear any feedback. They don't want to hear your opinion.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Isn't it funny if they tell you before the baby
is born? Right, we feel okay, maybe saying something about it,
but once the baby pops out, I guess you just
have to shut up and else too late.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Now right, it's a done deal. So I can't wait
to hear what Kelly's question is or what our story is.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
She says, my brother in law and his wife live
in Florida and they're expecting their first child, a little girl,
in October they are both graduates of the University of Alabama,
and they told us one of the possible names is
Crimson with a K and the middle name tiede Tyde.
(01:24):
So Crimson with a K and tied with a Y. Yes,
she writes, Crimson Tide. If you're not familiar, let me
just jump in here. That's, you know, the nickname of
the University of Alabama's sports teams, right, they are the
Crimson Tide. And apparently these guys are very loyal to
their old school. Anyway, back to Kelly's note, she goes,
(01:47):
it's truly a horrible name to stick on a child.
And I want to say something, but my husband says
it's none of our business, which is what you were saying.
But listen to what she says next. She goes, well,
if it's none of our business, why are they floating
it out there to everyone? You know, they must be
gauging our reactions. I'd like to share my reaction. It's dumb,
(02:11):
she says, What do you say?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
I say the same thing. Still, it may be dumb.
You may look at it and be like, that's awful.
It'd be like somebody here in Colorado saying I'm gonna
name my kid buff or Buffy after the buffalo. See
you Buffalo's middle name fulsome, Buffy fulsome.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Here's a stripper for you right there.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
On the centerpole.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Fye.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I think we all know we would be like, huh,
you don't say, but but they're testing you. Don't fall
for it. They don't want your opinion. It's a test.
They don't want your opinion.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Here's another thought to throw in on this. By the way,
here's our number three oh three, five oh four, oh
one oh five, five oh four, oh one oh five.
It's not so much the we want you to write
in and vote on Crimson Tide because we will have
no say in what this baby in Florida is named. Correct,
But the whole question of can you when people are
(03:12):
floating it out there before the baby is born, are
you supposed to just like we're back to blowing smoke again.
Are you supposed to just regardless say oh my god,
that's such a beautiful name. Or do you feel like
people are looking for a reaction and you might go,
I don't know, gonna stick that child with that? You know,
(03:33):
here's what I can I share my opinion?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Well, I of course you know you're going.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
To yeah, but I felt like I would take some
of the sting out if I ask permission.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Oh, okay, share.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Here's the thing about goofy baby names. This is just
my opinion. It does not reflect those thoughts or feelings
of Slapshot Broadcasting or Melissa Moore or Coolno. Five. But
when I hear people come up with outrageous names for
their children, to me, it strikes me as like a
(04:08):
selfish thing to do, because you can just put that
on them and then go merrily along on your way
while they have to go through their life with it.
They're the ones who have to suffer with having to
spell it for everybody and explain it and apologize and
all that, and you just get to go merrily on
(04:28):
your way. And I that's I've always thought that about
goofy names like that.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
So Gwyneth Paltrow and she and Chris Martin named their
little girl, who's now twenty two, Apple, you would have
been like, bad, Apple is not a good name for
a kid. Well, no, I'm just saying because that I
remember when she named her daughter that everybody, everybody, even
after the baby was named, because she's a celebrity, they
were like, oh, that's not good, but she's Apple. That's
(04:54):
just that's her name and whatever. I just think it's
so funny that, yes, everything you said is true, but
it's still none of our business.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
That's fair enough. That is fair enough. Brandy from Castle
Rock just wrote in she goes maybe they are gauging
reaction so none of their friends take the name, don't.
I don't think there's any chance of that happening, Brandy.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Oh my gosh, there was a Seinfeld episode years and
years ago where the name seven was floated around.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Right with a guy named seven. By the way, you
did not Schinn.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Are you sure it wasn't Schinn?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
No, no, no, no. His name was sv and his
name was seven. And all of the kids in his
family had really bizarre names like that, right, and his
siblings were not named one through six. They had just
different but they were all really bizarre and he was seven.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
And how did he feel about his name? He probably
liked it, right.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
He loved it? Yeah, yeah, And I gotta admit I
kind of liked that one.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
See that's where I think you just let people do
what they're gonna do. I mean, the kid is going
to have a chance, like Crimson could be Kim or Krimmy,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Or Primmy Crimmy.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I'm trying to think what a nickname or yeah time.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Brandy adds a friend of a friend named their daughter
and their Red Sox fans. They named their daughter Fenway.
I think that's cute, kind of cute.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Actually, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Sometimes that's a good one. That's not Crimson Tide though I.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Know it's not roll Tide. But here's Here's what I
think is funny is that we all feel like, Okay,
well there's weird. Names are weird, but yet it's subjective,
like somebody may be like Finway, that's an awful name,
but yet somebody else may be like, hey, that's kind
of brilliant.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I love That's true, right, yeah, exactly why it's like
music or art or anything else. Everybody has an opinion.
We're sharing this note from Kelly and Golden. Family members
down in Florida are expecting the first child, a little girl,
in a couple of months. She says, they're both the
parents are both graduates of the University of Alabamaat University
(07:01):
of Alabama, I just walked around that campus a couple
of months ago, I was down there and that's a
gorgeous campus. Wow, it's really pretty. Anyway, she says, they
told us one of the possible names for their baby
is Crimson with a K. I might add m hm
middle name tied with a Y tyde, So yes, the
(07:23):
Crimson Tide. Kelly says, it's a truly horrible name, and
I want to say something. My husband says, it's none
of our business, Kelly is. I guess Kelly's stance on
this is that they wouldn't throw the name out there
to a bunch of people if they weren't looking for reactions.
So she's like, why not just give your reaction.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
She thinks they're fishing. They want to know if it's
going to float or not where. I think they're testing you, Kelly.
They're looking to see who's gonna support them and keep
their mouth shut. I mean, the bottom line is you
don't have any say. You can say that's an awful name.
I mean, you can say what if that kid hates Alabama?
You could bring up all of these points and it
(08:05):
does not matter. They're going to do what they do.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
It's funny. Leanne and Firestone says, the kid will probably
grow up and want to go to Auburn. You know
that's wow wow or Tennessee it's their rival. Yes, yes, uh,
you know what I was thinking too. And by the way,
thanks for all the text messages that are coming in.
I was thinking, you know, with friends, you can't really
(08:28):
say anything, but I think with family you can.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Oh. I think family's worse. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Family may be worse, but I think you can say
things like we say things to family that we don't
say to just acquaintances.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Right, it's family can still hold shit.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Right here, my siblings and I sitting around the dinner table,
are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Right? I remember my sister and I were pregnant at
the same time, and she did not want to tell
me what she was going to name her baby. And
I was like, well just tell me. She's like, no,
everybody has an opinion and they feel like they just
need to give it to you. So even though everybody
knew what we were going to name our daughter, she
would not tell anybody what she was getting named her
(09:08):
son until after he was born, because she goes, then
it's done. And she did the same thing with her daughter.
She's like I don't want people's opinions, so I don't share.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
See. I think that's wise. I think that's wise. I
would not do it. But I'm the guy who votes
for not knowing the sex of the baby until it's born.
And I know I'm in a minority now because everyone
wants to know everyone, the vast majority of people. And
I was like, no, just find out. I like, we
did not find out about Domic. We waited until he
was born.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
But did you you had names picked out for male
or female? Right?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Correct? Okay, yeah, it's not that hard people. You just
pick out two names and so on.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I mean, but.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Painting the room, I'm like, well, do you really need
to paint the room a particular color? I just it
makes me laugh.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Did you share the name?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Though? I don't remember. Oh, I wouldn't have my did.
But you know, he's Dominic the third. I mean, it's
not like that outrageous.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Was it like some crazy curveball coming?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
And if I could go back in time, I would
I would not name him that well, I guaranteed I
wouldn't listen to this. As someone who is stuck with
one of those names, it does suck. As a child However,
as an adult, I have come to appreciate it. There
are still those idiots who make it much harder than
it needs to be. Her name is Tamby tamb I,
(10:27):
Oh yeah, yeah, which I think is an interesting name.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I'm sure people call her Tammy or Bamby or you know.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Right right, Tammy. They probably do think she's saying Bamby.
I got made fun of a lot with my name
as a kid, but then I grew into it as
an adult, and I'm glad I have the name now
as an adult. What about you? Were you a fan
of Melissa or did you not care what?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Oh? I was Missy? Mmmmmmm, I was Missy grown up.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
And you don't like that or you do like that.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I as an adult. No. It's funny though, when I
go back to Indie Missy, Missy Sue and I'm like,
oh yeah, here we go, Here we go, you guys,
And it sounds normal back there, and it sounds normal
from family. But if my husband Tim, he's like Missy
and I'm like, don't do it, don't do it?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Ohud you ever, I don't think.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
You want to go down that road with me.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Speaking of not going down that road for all of
the multiple people who are writing in about the name
Crimson Tide and its association with a particular gender, we
were hip, I understand.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yeah, I saw a few of those.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Yeah, Mike says, I love sports. I would never do
that to my kid.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
And isn't that kind of the thing. I wouldn't do
it to my kid, but it's your kid, and there
I still think. I don't know. I mean, maybe I'm
wrong in this one. I just think that people, even
if they ask you what you think, they really don't
want to know.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Quinton says, I think it's fine to give slight feedback,
but preferably have it be positive. Well, then you're not
being honest saying you just got to blow smoke.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I think you say, wow, that's really unique.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I've never heard that before.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Wow. There are ways of saying it without saying it.
I guess, right, and I think, oh, yeah, Crimson Tide?
Is that for sure? Have you settled on that right? Right?
Speaker 2 (12:19):
What were you thinking for a nickname? Like? How are
you going to shorten that one?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I think those are the kind of questions you can
throw out there if you want them to be thinking
about it, but just going Wow, that sucks. Is not
gonna be good.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I've heard this a lot. Patrick from Kingsburg says, my
wife and I even looked at the initials to make
both the names and the initials work with an eye
toward blah blah blah. Okay, yes, yeah, that's right. And
I think I've heard a lot of people say that, like, yeah,
we test out. You know, what are the initials going
to say? Right? You don't want it to be if
I want it to be Adam Steven Sandler. I mean,
you don't want your kid to go through life as ass.
(12:54):
You know, I was thinking they're Seinfeld reference by the way,
with a license plate.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Although the kid in elementary school would be loving it.
They'd be putting their initials on everything.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Renee says, I won't say my kind daughter's name. Oh
when they told me what they were naming her, I thought, gosh,
she is going to be a stripper when she's older,
She says. I kept my mouth shut. I so wanted
to say something.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
When Grandma thinks that that's bad.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
You know, Renee, it's family. I think you can say
anything too.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I know, I think family's worst. Family holds grudges way longer.
Friends you can at least friends you can break up
with or drop a friend. But family if they're mad
at you. Ooh, that's a long time. That's a lot
of family dinners.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Oh you'll love this. Here's the hit. We'll bring it
home with this one. This is from Trenny. He's in
Denver and he says, friends of mine are brooklyn Nets.
Fans name their daughter brook middle name Lynnette brooklyn Net.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I think that's funny.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I think that's cute. Why not my god, by the way,
Buffy folsom is still up for grabs if anybody would
like to grab it there. Yeah, don't don't feel like
I've got the rights to it.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
That's just a free gift to you. From Melissa says,
there you go. I like Aaron's response. She goes, you
could always just say quote I don't like it, but
it's not up to me.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
That's subtle. That's like a sledgehammer.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
That's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
My goodness.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Uh. Nataline says, my mother in law said, one of
my names I picked out was a dog's name. Turns
out her daughter had already picked that name in case
she had a boy.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Oh the manipulation.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yeah. In fact, Lisa says, save those kinds of names
for your pets. Crimson tied, make your cat Crimson tide.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I guess, make your cat one, and then get another
cat name at the other. Then you yell Crimson tide.
They both come running.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
It's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Well, if it's a cat us here today People Ideas
Left and Right.

So she's like, why not just give your reaction.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
She thinks they're fishing. They want to know if it's
going to float or not where. I think they're testing you, Kelly.
They're looking to see who's gonna support them and keep
their mouth shut. I mean, the bottom line is you
don't have any say. You can say that's an awful name.
I mean, you can say what if that kid hates Alabama?
You could bring up all of these points and it
(08:05):
does not matter. They're going to do what they do.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
It's funny. Leanne and Firestone says, the kid will probably
grow up and want to go to Auburn. You know
that's wow wow or Tennessee it's their rival. Yes, yes, uh,
you know what I was thinking too. And by the way,
thanks for all the text messages that are coming in.
I was thinking, you know, with friends, you can't really
(08:28):
say anything, but I think with family you can.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Oh. I think family's worse. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Family may be worse, but I think you can say
things like we say things to family that we don't
say to just acquaintances.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Right, it's family can still hold shit.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Right here, my siblings and I sitting around the dinner table,
are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Right? I remember my sister and I were pregnant at
the same time, and she did not want to tell
me what she was going to name her baby. And
I was like, well just tell me. She's like, no,
everybody has an opinion and they feel like they just
need to give it to you. So even though everybody
knew what we were going to name our daughter, she
would not tell anybody what she was getting named her
(09:08):
son until after he was born, because she goes, then
it's done. And she did the same thing with her daughter.
She's like I don't want people's opinions, so I don't share.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
See. I think that's wise. I think that's wise. I
would not do it. But I'm the guy who votes
for not knowing the sex of the baby until it's born.
And I know I'm in a minority now because everyone
wants to know everyone, the vast majority of people. And
I was like, no, just find out. I like, we
did not find out about Domic. We waited until he
was born.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
But did you you had names picked out for male
or female? Right?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Correct? Okay, yeah, it's not that hard people. You just
pick out two names and so on.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I mean, but.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Painting the room, I'm like, well, do you really need
to paint the room a particular color? I just it
makes me laugh.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Did you share the name?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Though? I don't remember. Oh, I wouldn't have my did.
But you know, he's Dominic the third. I mean, it's
not like that outrageous.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Was it like some crazy curveball coming?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
And if I could go back in time, I would
I would not name him that well, I guaranteed I
wouldn't listen to this. As someone who is stuck with
one of those names, it does suck. As a child However,
as an adult, I have come to appreciate it. There
are still those idiots who make it much harder than
it needs to be. Her name is Tamby tamb I,
(10:27):
Oh yeah, yeah, which I think is an interesting name.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I'm sure people call her Tammy or Bamby or you know.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Right right, Tammy. They probably do think she's saying Bamby.
I got made fun of a lot with my name
as a kid, but then I grew into it as
an adult, and I'm glad I have the name now
as an adult. What about you? Were you a fan
of Melissa or did you not care what?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Oh? I was Missy? Mmmmmmm, I was Missy grown up.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
And you don't like that or you do like that.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I as an adult. No. It's funny though, when I
go back to Indie Missy, Missy Sue and I'm like,
oh yeah, here we go, Here we go, you guys,
And it sounds normal back there, and it sounds normal
from family. But if my husband Tim, he's like Missy
and I'm like, don't do it, don't do it?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Ohud you ever, I don't think.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
You want to go down that road with me.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Speaking of not going down that road for all of
the multiple people who are writing in about the name
Crimson Tide and its association with a particular gender, we
were hip, I understand.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yeah, I saw a few of those.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Yeah, Mike says, I love sports. I would never do
that to my kid.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
And isn't that kind of the thing. I wouldn't do
it to my kid, but it's your kid, and there
I still think. I don't know. I mean, maybe I'm
wrong in this one. I just think that people, even
if they ask you what you think, they really don't
want to know.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Quinton says, I think it's fine to give slight feedback,
but preferably have it be positive. Well, then you're not
being honest saying you just got to blow smoke.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I think you say, wow, that's really unique.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I've never heard that before.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Wow. There are ways of saying it without saying it.
I guess, right, and I think, oh, yeah, Crimson Tide?
Is that for sure? Have you settled on that right? Right?
Speaker 2 (12:19):
What were you thinking for a nickname? Like? How are
you going to shorten that one?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I think those are the kind of questions you can
throw out there if you want them to be thinking
about it, but just going Wow, that sucks. Is not
gonna be good.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I've heard this a lot. Patrick from Kingsburg says, my
wife and I even looked at the initials to make
both the names and the initials work with an eye
toward blah blah blah. Okay, yes, yeah, that's right. And
I think I've heard a lot of people say that, like, yeah,
we test out. You know, what are the initials going
to say? Right? You don't want it to be if
I want it to be Adam Steven Sandler. I mean,
you don't want your kid to go through life as ass.
(12:54):
You know, I was thinking they're Seinfeld reference by the way,
with a license plate.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Although the kid in elementary school would be loving it.
They'd be putting their initials on everything.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Renee says, I won't say my kind daughter's name. Oh
when they told me what they were naming her, I thought, gosh,
she is going to be a stripper when she's older,
She says. I kept my mouth shut. I so wanted
to say something.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
When Grandma thinks that that's bad.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
You know, Renee, it's family. I think you can say
anything too.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I know, I think family's worst. Family holds grudges way longer.
Friends you can at least friends you can break up
with or drop a friend. But family if they're mad
at you. Ooh, that's a long time. That's a lot
of family dinners.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Oh you'll love this. Here's the hit. We'll bring it
home with this one. This is from Trenny. He's in
Denver and he says, friends of mine are brooklyn Nets.
Fans name their daughter brook middle name Lynnette brooklyn Net.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I think that's funny.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I think that's cute. Why not my god, by the way,
Buffy folsom is still up for grabs if anybody would
like to grab it there. Yeah, don't don't feel like
I've got the rights to it.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
That's just a free gift to you. From Melissa says,
there you go. I like Aaron's response. She goes, you
could always just say quote I don't like it, but
it's not up to me.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
That's subtle. That's like a sledgehammer.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
That's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
My goodness.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Uh. Nataline says, my mother in law said, one of
my names I picked out was a dog's name. Turns
out her daughter had already picked that name in case
she had a boy.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Oh the manipulation.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yeah. In fact, Lisa says, save those kinds of names
for your pets. Crimson tied, make your cat Crimson tide.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I guess, make your cat one, and then get another
cat name at the other. Then you yell Crimson tide.
They both come running.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
It's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Well, if it's a cat us here today People Ideas
Left and Right.
