Lady: Oh my, what a pretty little girl you have there.
Me: Why thank you. Beatrice, can you say thank you?
Beatrice: Thank you.
Lady: What's her name?
Me and Beatrice: Beatrice.
Lady: Peaches? What a cute name!
Me: No, not Peaches. Beatrice!
Lady: Beatrice????!??!??! You really named her Beatrice?????
Me: Um, yes?
People are still mispronouncing her name, but twice now someone has questioned me, to my face, if I in fact named her Beatrice. What is the matter with people??? Andplusalso, I love how Peaches was an acceptable name to this lady while Beatrice was absurd...
In other news, there were 3 Penelopes in the church nursery this morning. At least I named one of my daughters a socially acceptable name.
Happy Sunday from Peaches and Penelope!

WOWZA! I think that is so rude for her to question you to her face. I mean if she wants to name a kid peaches she should go have one. So rude! I think both of your girls have such sweet names. ;) Personally they both will thank you for naming them Beatrice and Penelope when all their friends are Jessica or Wild Flower. HA
ReplyDeleteI am finding it where more and more people think it's acceptable to ask people why they named their kid xyz. Keep opinions on names to yourself.
Your girls are cute. I love how you dressed them a like so sweet and southern. ;)
LOL! This is too much. I can't believe how BIG Beatrice has gotten. Both girls are beautiful! Penelope is a very common name these days... my goddaughter shares it too. It's pretty, although popular.
ReplyDeletePeaches? Really? I love Beatrice's name, I think it is classic and feminine. What a strange old bat to think that Peaches was a better name than Beatrice.
ReplyDeleteThat is just crazy! People are so rude and say anything. I think that your girls have names as beautiful as they are :) Love it!
