the name is pronuonced ABCIDEE ,SO SHE SAYS

Answer 1

Ok i know its your sisters child so its her decision BUT ask her to think about what would happen once the baby is older and people start making fun of the baby's weird name. Its the baby who is gonna suffer. Anyways ask your sister to imagine the baby is older and she(sister) gets mad at the baby for something.............A.BCDE GET HERE RIGHT NOW(isn't that weird)!!(Ask your sister to say that OUT LOUD and see how it feels).

Answer 2

I'd feel sorry for the poor child. What will the middle name be? Maybe s/he can go by that, or change the name later. You might ask your sister to think about how that name will look on the top of a resume or job application, or when read outloud with a middle name at graduation. I think it'd be hard for anyone to ever take a person with that name seriously. Our daughter's name is Elle, and we love the name, but some people actually think her name is just the letter L! A few have suggested that we name our next child M or Em, which we are not planning to do.

Answer 3

If she's insisting on giving the child the name ABCDE, how about just giving the child initials that are sequential? Like ABC if her last name starts with a C or BCD if it starts with a D. But do everything in your power to keep her from actually naming the child ABCDE.

Answer 4

OMG can people really get stupid on names. NOTHING IS WRONG WITH COMMON OR UNCOMMON NAMES that are already out there.

Cruel punishment for any child with rediculious names.

It's Not a name It's the start of the Alphabet and the baby will have serious trouble in school as they grow. Not to mention an automatic outcast in middle school and high school when kids start paying more attintion to names and details.

Answer 5

If your sister wants her baby to be made fun of all through school, then she should name it ABCDE. It's your sister's child, so she is entitled to whatever name she desires. Think of nicknames if you are uncomfortable calling them that name: try Abby for a girl (uses the A and B) or if it's a boy try Abe (uses A, B, and E) Ace (uses A, C, and E) or Aden (uses A, D, and E). I don't know what else to tell you. Good luck!

Answer 6

I think your sister is setting up her child for a lifetime of ridicule. But at the same time, there's nothing you can do about it. You sister has her own mind, and is able to make her own decision about what to name her child. You can give her your opinion about it, but in the end you need to respect your sisters decision, because it's her child. If you continue to hound her about it, she'll soon lose respect for you, and quit having a relationship with you. If you want to rist that, than continue to hound her about it. But if you want to have a healthy relationship with your sister, and this child, than you need to let her make her own decision, and pray that she changes her mind. But you can also be there for your nepher/niece when he/she comes home crying because he/she has been picked on again, and be there for your sister when their child comes home crying, and she's crying because she realizes what a mistake she's made in naming her child.

Answer 7

Baby has the right to change it if he or she does not like the name given by idiotic parents. I have changed my name six times just for some thing new. But parents ought to be very considerate of the child when naming him or her. Not only they should care for their own fancy thinking, but they should consider how it will effect the child as he or she grows up in the society...

Answer 8

I have seen this name before. Suddenly, it is popular, not sure why. Personally, I hate it. It makes me feel like I think my kid is going to be too stupid to know how to spell her own name so I need to make it easy for her A B C D E.

If she thinks she is choosing a unique name, tell her she is wrong. My sister-in-law is a teacher and so is a good friend of mine. Both of them have seen tons of Abcde's lately.

Answer 9

Sounds like a cruel joke to me; in my opinion it's a sorry excuse for a name. Talk to other family members about this, then you can all sit down together and let her know how you feel about her name choice and the problems and embarrassment that will arouse. If she is absolutely serious, just let her do it and she can deal with the consequences.

Answer 10

Personally I wouldn't name my child ABCDE. I would think they may get teased. But if your sister wants to name her child that then she can. If you don't want to call the baby ABCDE, then give it a nickname!
