Baby Names and Speech impediments...

So, my wife and I are expecting our third in September. And, of course, we throw back and forth baby names most every day. One that we both like is Blaise. (For a boy)

However, according to the name book, Blaise means "stutter" or some such, and that got us thinking....wouldn't it be terrible if the kid ended up with a speech impediment that caused him to not be able to say his own name.

"Hi, my name it Blai-the!"

Of course, we spent a while laughing at all the names you could do that with...including our 1 year old, Isaac. (Ithaac)

Or what if a kid couldn't say their Rs?

"Hi, my name it Wobert!"

Just was wondering if we're the only parents to consider impediments when choosing child names.

**No offense intended to anyone who might themthevthes be in thith pwidicament. Weally.

PS- I would love my child no less if they had a speech impediment or any other affliction. I just wouldn't want them to have to deal with the embaressment of not being able to say their own name. (My parents don't hate me just cus I can't spell!) 😉
 
i think Baby Names and Speech Impediments are terrible names for kids. what kind of cruel parents are you? :|

I can't imagine how...

It's pronounced Blaze...just in case you didn't know...which I hardly find feminine.
 
We have had two kids, and picked their names so they wouldn't have the same name as everyone else in their class at school, but we never considered speech imediments. By the way, I do not care for the name Blaise. Sounds like a porn star to me.
