DAYS: New listing for Hope's baby girl's name

[Darn]

Oh God, nevermind. It's not worth it.

[Vee]

Wow. Experiencing "the change of life" lately, King?

[King]

I'm sorry! Darn, I am just a little touchy when it comes to naming a character I will have to hear mentioned for next God knows how long - especially when all the choices STINK.

[KLN]

I agree with King.

Ciara is a very famous music artist. Associating the name "Ciara," -- especially spelled the way it is -- with the music artist is completely normal. If you're not a fan of the artist, it's not surprising that you might not be a fan of the name either... and you certainly wouldn't be hot on always mentally associating the character with said artist. What's offensive about that?

I mean, hell... what if they were naming the child Osama? Don't tell me you wouldn't associate her with the wellknown terrorist. What if they were naming the child Ling-Ling? If Bo and Hope were asian, there would be no problem. But guess what? They're not asian. I don't want the child named Ling-Ling... and I don't want the child named Ciara!

I'm by no means racist. I just don't like what I associate the name with.

[Ryan]

Lol, I hate all the damn names too. I chose Cassidy, but I hate the damn middle name.

I wouldn't mind them calling her Ciara (pronounced Kyra or whatever). I happen to like the singer Ciara (pronounced C-era/Sierra). I don't think she's trashy at all. She doesn't give off the impression that she's slutty or trashy.

[Mason]

ITA. There's nothing racist or ignorant about our objection to the name Ciara at all.

I don't know, I don't associate the name "Ciara" with a hip hop artist at all, I associate it with trendiness ... I know, it's a traditional Irish name, but being a 1st generationer myself I think I can safely attest that when cultural names are given by people who grew up/spent a good amount of time in the US they tend to pick names that mesh with the present culture, while still being traditional. Of course that's not a hard and fast rule and I'm certainly not gonna judge a kid based on her name ... but if we don't nitpick about something what are we gonna do with our lives

[Ryan]

Lol, Ling-Ling!! He's a character on "Drawn Together". I love that show......

Btw....I have a cousin named Sierra on my mother's side of the family and Ciara on my dad's side of the family.

[King]

Hahaha. Yeah. I don't see the big deal either. If one of the options was like....Carmen. Or Rosalita. Or Juanita.

[King]

Oh, Ryan Chandler, you're so Chandlerlicious.

[KLN]

It just pisses me off that Days has such a young fanbase... surely a fanbase that LOOOOOOOVES some Ciara... and because of THEIR votes, Bo and Hope's child is going to be given such a fked up name.

[King]

There should be a pencil-in vote. And we should vote for Kennifer.

[Ryan]

Name the baby Bope Wilhelmina Brady!!

Lol, j/k

[KLN]

That's it, that's it, that's it!!

I'm starting a petition. Kennifer it is!

[Ryan]

All in favor of the baby being named Kennifer?

I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
