Input wanted- forum name

[hawkward]

The mods and admins are starting the voting process for the new name of the forum. Before I vote, I'd like your input. For anyone following the naming thread, were there any names that were a hard no for you?

[muscari]

I browsed through (some) of the naming thread and there were quite some that made me roll my eyes lol. There were some that made me cringe for real and think "F, no" but I can't quite remember from the top of my head. I tried to find the thread but I can't.. am I blind or did it get moved someplace?

Phenomenal Women (My only concern with this one is that we have a dads' board. Yes, it's dead at the moment, but if new men come in, I don't want them to think they're not welcome.)

That's a lot of choices! My only input would be that I think anything with "mom" (even if it's Not Just for Moms) in it could be tough for someone having a hard day. I also agree with you that Becoming Family could also be rough. Im not super invested in what we end up being called but a lot of those names would really leave me wondering what the focus or point of this board is if I were just searching around, so that may be something to consider if we hope to attract more posters.

Those are actually enchanted's notes, but I left them in when I was C&Ping because I agreed with her! 

I do like "Becoming a Modern Family" a little more because of the implication that there's more than one way to be a family. I think The Time Between is my favorite right now though. 

[muscari]

Oh wow thanks hawkward for that list! Beats clicking thru endless pages ☺

Agteed with cali on the mom thing. I remember reading some comment on that and all I could think was what about the dads we had/ have?! As well as not great for all our loss/IF/CFNBC ladies.

A lot of the name suggestions dont make sense to me but i may just lack the snark for that lol (or it's a language barrier?).

I do like the implication to there being more then one way to be a family.

All in all I don't really see any popout that have my preference.. Sorta like life unscripted but it feels to much like a tv show?

The time between is nice.

And as bad as it may sound.. i guess after alllll the drama and forum hopping and what not (and losing both friends as the whole feeling of togetherness in the process) I guess I just don't feel too invested in things to be really bothered? I want this place to work but mostly cause I just long for things to go back to some sort of normal. Which likely isnt possible anyway..

Hope i make sense. Not at my brightest at 3am lol. Back to bed!

I'm not a fan of names with family or parenting in them, but they're not a fuck no, never. Names referring to drinking and mom's, however, are.

I don't remember what it was, but I like the poop one.

[addymac]

I kind of like "Life, unscripted". But eh. Too many options and too many of those are just inside jokes for parenting / never going to get more new members.

[muscari]

Ditto on the too many inside joke thing. addymac

I can't find the poop of LED lol nowI am intrigued 💩

[boxerific]

Ditto to nixing the ones that have Mom in them. I'm meh about those that include Parenting or Family. Also a no to the one that deliberately spells out a word that rhymes with punts. I just... hate that word.

Oooohhhhhh! :snicker:

[oldbaylover1024]

Ditch the ones with Mom and the ones with Parenting. Family I'm fine with.

May the force be with you, admin staff. DNW to be the making the final choice. I do not envy you LOL
