Members King Posted December 23, 2006 Members Share Posted December 23, 2006 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.

Members KLN Posted December 23, 2006 Members Share Posted December 23, 2006 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.

Members Ryan Posted December 23, 2006 Members Share Posted December 23, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mason Posted December 23, 2006 Members Share Posted December 23, 2006 ITA. There's nothing racist or ignorant about our objection to the name Ciara at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members billyjill Posted December 23, 2006 Members Share Posted December 23, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Posted December 23, 2006 Members Share Posted December 23, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KLN Posted December 23, 2006 Members Share Posted December 23, 2006 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.
