It's not for other people to judge! If thats what you like for your children, then thats your choice. friends just have to accept it. maybe they don't realise that it offends you when they criticise you for giving your kids long names. just tell them that thats what you like and your children are happy so mind their own business!

Hi there,
Really it dose not matter how long or short a name is. Plus it is no ones business but yours.
My children's names are quite long as each child has an individual name and two family names.
The only advice I took was from my father who told me:
If you have a boy give him a mans name. If you have a girl give her a beautiful name.
By using family names I have given my kids a link to their families past.
I don't explain my choices to any one. Neither should you. You chose your children's names with love and care. No one has the right to say that their names are wrong for you or them.
You love your kids and that is all that matters.

In the event that you are telling the truth (which is doubtful), Those names are way too long. And what's the deal with one twin getting a massively long name, and the other getting a really short name. Not too mention you've spelled a lot of those names a bit ridiculously.

First of all, you made this up, it's quite obvious. You just wanted to write a whole whack of names on the board and get sympathy from us and have us tell you your names are good.
Three middle names for each child is excessive and just selfish on the parent's part, if you ask me. And why would you give each child three and poor 'lil Ann got none?
You crazy.

You do not have to and should not feel bad about what you have named your children. You picked something that you like and it is not for others to decide. I think that if your friends have a problem with your kids names then maybe you do not have very good friends.

Who uses there full name anyway??
My full name is Charli Jane Jason Leanne LAST NAME
Seriously DON'T WORRY!!! I only used my first and my middle initial J.
If your 'new' friends don't like it, go and find some new ones!!!
They aren't worth it. You obviously put a lot of time and effort into your children's names. As did my family, and my name consists of a lot of my families names!!!
Your kids won't care and nor should you!!

Well, your children's names are a little long for my taste but they're pretty names and good combinations. Don't worry what they think. These are your four little girls and obviously you like those names. I've always thought people should do what makes them happy when it comes to naming their children.

Their names are quite long but it doesn't really matter. Wondering why Ann doesn't have any middle names when the others have three each?

Your "new friends" are making a judgment based on their own opinions. You have the right to bless your children with any name or names you like or decide. It's a personal and individual choice. You go, mom, and feel good about it. I think those are very pretty names, and that's my personal opinion! Good luck, and I hope that helps you.

I bet your a really good mam too and can i just say WHAT THE HELL HAS IT GOT TO DO WITH YOUR FRIIENDS. yes the names are long but they are all lovely names and you obviously picked them for a reason or just because you liked them. Your NEW friends need to keep their opinions to themselves i would never critisise my friends for there ( personal ) choice of childrens names. Please ignore these people. love and luck to you and your children.
