My husband (27m) and I (26f) are expecting our first child, a little girl in February. Names are a hot topic for us as we want her to have the perfect name. But no matter what, he shoots down EVERY SINGLE name I suggest! Which I have suggested over 50 of them. Yet he hasn’t suggested a single name to me. I don’t know if he’s got a name picked and is waiting for me to say it, or has nothing picked out but it makes me upset.
Some of the names I’ve suggested (and absolutely loved) are Ella Faith, which he said was ‘way too basic’. Mya Evelyn, Amelia Sage, Ophelia Hope and Isabel Rose.
Do you guys have any advice or have gone through the same situation?
TDLR; husband hates every single name I have suggested for our unborn baby but refuses to suggest any names himself. Starting to get fed up with him doing this.
EDIT: we had the talk you all suggested and he’s kind of come around to the name Ella! But he say’s it’s ‘too close to his own name’, as his name starts with an E and sounds similar. I think the matching name thing is cute though
EDIT 2: I believe we have already maybe settled on a name! We used the baby name tinder app, and both ended up liking the name Lucy. I suggested her name to be something like Lucille or Lucia, but we call her Lucy for short and he agreed for once! Thank you all for this help. I never expected this to turn out so well so fast!
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC
r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes
Punchline !
Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub
Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
Do your worst!
They were cooked in Greece.
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
I've been wallowing for a few hours and need to vent. I was on grindr perusing around and found a really cute trans girl-- let's call her Amy. We talked for a bit and decided to hook up. Half hour later, I was sitting next to her on her bed. Without thinking, I said I was nervous because I haven't had much experience with guys (what I meant was I haven't had much exp. with sex with people with penises.) I apologized and corrected myself right after, but Amy got upset because I misgendered her and told me to leave.
I'm not upset because we didn't have sex-- consent is super important in sex, and I wasn't going to push it if she wasn't in the mood anymore. But I feel like a terrible person for not paying more attention to Amy's pronouns and identity. I, another trans woman of all people, should have been better about things like that. I'm supposed to start E in a few weeks, but do I even deserve to take it now? Aren't trans people supposed to respect other trans people's genders? Am I still able to call myself trans if I can't respect Amy's identity?
I'm a pretty isolated person. As of now my only work is coaching high school kids how to row. I don't meet new people that often, especially not trans people. The first time basically ever that I meet a trans girl, I fuck it up. Who's to say I won't fuck it up again? And how long will it be before I find another girl who wants to meet me? I deleted all my other dating apps-- tinder, bumble, hinge, OKCupid-- because they use my male name. And all the pictures of me are of me presenting male because I absolutely do not pass as female yet. Remaking an account for myself as a trans woman anywhere other than grindr seems like a disaster waiting to happen. I think I'd just get misgendered (Ironic, isn't it?), made fun of, or even harassed.
Could y'all call me Isabel (or Isa, or Ivy, or a good girl) and tell me everything's going to be alright? I know most of these assumptions about myself from one bad experience are a stretch, but my mind's been running and right now I just feel like a toilet full of poo. Thx xoxo
And now I’m cannelloni
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
But that’s comparing apples to oranges
And boy are my arms legs.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
When I got home, they were still there.
I won't be doing that today!
Hindus, on the other hand, never had any beef.
At work, I have a workstation.
edit: cheers u/cheer_up_richard
This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
There hasn't been a post all year!
Wows
I’ll show myself out
Where ever you left it 🤷♀️🤭
