I mean, seriously. We are white knighting Kylie so hard we are going to pretend Mariposa “Posie” isn’t terrible? I feel like I’m living in the Twighlight zone. Chicago, North, Saint....it's a step up at least. You forgot Reign. |

Chicago, North, Saint....it's a step up at least. See I see their names different. There's an element of culture there that I don't side eye. Mariposa i straight up weird to me because neither of them are Spanish speakers. There's no cultural context. But I can't block this stuff from my head. I'm definitely side eyeing mariposa. |

I take issue with the female CEO comment. I also take issue to someone who says shit like, "daycare is raising my kid." Well if that's what you believe have at it but no, daycare never raised mine. It was said TIC but my kid is at daycare from 7.30-5.30 Monday to Friday so yes they do play a role in raising him. To think otherwise would be burying my head in the sand |

And also no authority here. I'm just expressing what I'm thinking when I hear the names.
I can pronounce Mariposa and it does not sound pretty as a person's name. I also visualizing an English speaker like Kylie pronouncing mariposa. Kind of how all gringos pronounce baños. Or how all my teachers pronounced Guillermo and other names. This is why I think it's dumb name.

There are some German words that are sometimes used as names in the States and it would sound weird here but I just try to remind myself that they are being used in a different environment. Has the name been officially released yet? |

This is why I think it's dumb name. I agree. I think it's...well within something the Kardashian/Jenner people would do, however if they're going with a butterfly thing I actually think Monarch is much more their "style." I could also see her just naming her kid...Butterfly, so. |

Like it's not enough to market themselves with their ass thing, the braid thing, but they want to zone in on the Latina tbing too. I know it sounds like I'm reaching, but its hard not to go there with them. Can never do nothing with them. And I'm not hating on their bodies. I'm just saying their whole stint is 90% cultural appropriation. |

I actually don't Kardashian and am not interested in them. My comment was more just in general I try not to say I think a name is bad. But that's just my thing. |

Names are very personal and I really don't usually give a hoot what people name their kids. I'm speaking more to the kardashian brand. I don't side eye kim kids name. In my head, there's a cultural element there. But with Kylie, it's just irritating because of course she would. |

It didn't matter to me. Some have said it before.
I define a role in raising a little differently and that's ok.

I would hate Mariposa for a name whether it was a Latina or Kylie.
Posie is even more horrendous. Reminds me of Poser.

I’ve written Stormi about 4 times and it just looks like I’m spelling something wrong.

Travis' last name is Webster I believe..... so Stormi Webster. Ok then. She can always have a bomb career in meteorology.

When I hear Stormi I think of Stormy Daniels. That was my first thought too. Suddenly Monarch doesn't seem so bad |
