The kids will be alright (no matter their names)

Facebook keeps recommending this story to me, which deals with parents regretting their choice of their child’s name.

The mothers who regret the trendy names they gave their children

Some people make take this as some kind of algorithm based, robot snark on my choice of names for my children but I choose not to. I have a name which makes me basically ungoogle-able as it’s so common. It wouldn’t have been out of the question for me to choose something really crazy for my kids but I went middle of the road crazy.

They have to hate me for something — if this the worst they can throw at me is wishing they were called Noah, then I’ll deal with it then.
