A name of a first born and naming rights?

Is the name Serrinaeh (Ser-ee-nay-ah) a good name to be given to a first born baby girl? Does the father have any say in giving naming rights in the traditional western civilisation sense?

A name of a first born and naming rights?
Shorten it and make 2 names out of it. Like Sereen Nayah.....


It would be best to talk it over with the father %26amp; reach an agreement that way. Also look at the meaning of the names you choose that way it is more meaningful to you.


I personally wouldn't pick a name like that for my daughter but this is you %26amp; hubbys decision.





Have fun!
Reply:You both should help pick out a good name. No that isn't a good name because no one will be able to figure out how to say it right. You want something that is easier to say and spell and read.
Reply:I would probably change it to Sarah. I don't like names that I can't even spell, much less the average other person. My ex husband thought he should get naming rights. Sorry... my Grandmother named the first child, which is a tradition in my family. The second one, I named. Yes I am selfish. I don't care. I told him to get over it. I did take into consideration what he wanted to name her and compromise. Somewhat.
Reply:Here in my community it is traditional for the parents to agree on a name.
Reply:Ithink Star would be a nicer name, and in the good ole' USA the father and mother usually come up with a name together, like he make choose the first and she the middle or vica versa!!
Reply:I would not go with the spelling you have chosen, but the name is great. The only reason I mention the spelling is that it will be very hard for your daughter to learn to spell it, and she will be given a very difficult time with it throughout life. I saw a 20-20 special that showed people with abnormal name spellings are less likely to be hired for a job, than those with regualr spellings. Even if they are more qualified for the job.





As to the father, most of the time both parents try to agree on a name. You wouldn't want to give your child a name that her father dislikes, and then is annoyed with you each time he says it.
Reply:Rights? Well, he certainly does have a say. My feeling is sense I carried this baby for nine months and will breastfed for at least a year I get veto power. So, yes I get more power in the process but he doesn't get shut out.





We sit and talk about our names and why we want to name our child that name. Usually our names are sentimental so it's very important to compromise.
Reply:The parents share the picking out of names. Both parents have "naming rights".
