I decided to write this blog entry, not because I'm trying to complain; rather I'm trying to knock some sense into people who tend to be so closed-minded.
You'd probably be surprised at how many people have said these things to me in the same exact way.
After the 10th time of hearing,
"WHY DYLAN?"
"Dylan is sooo white."
"Dylan is such a white name."
"Idk. Dylan reminds me of 90210 too much."
It gets kinda annoying.
And what do I always respond with?
"Why YOUR name?"
I'm sorry, but I don't even understand the slightest bit why my future son's name matters to anyone but to his mother (MYSELF) and his father (MARK). If we agreed on it, please don't go all out stating your opinions and questioning our decision when you have no importance in naming our son. Our child. The whole "Why?" part of it all is just so annoying because it's as if someone's trying to say, "Ew, I really don't like it" in a nicer way. First of all, we picked the name Dylan because we like the name, the sound of it, the meaning of it. I know Dylan may sound like a "white" or "American" name, but what do you expect us to name our son? An Asian name? Would "Pacifico" be acceptable because it's a Filipino name? Or would a Thai name like "Chet" be better? And the whole 90210 thing; I didn't even think of 90210 when I thought of his name. So there are my responses for you. I know I sound angry, but I'm not. I'm just slightly irritated at how ignorant & rude people can be. I am not the type of person who goes out judging anyone by blabbing stupid crap out my mouth in an offensive, disrespectful manner. I know you think you're joking or trying to say it in a "nice" way, but please, do everyone a favor & keep it to yourself.
Sigh. Then again, this is how the world is.
