Why did the nurse and doctor laugh at my newborn?

Question

We named him Peenith--it means "brave warrior" in my culture.

The nurse and doctor were looking at each other and laughing. I was very offended.

Answer 1

Thats funny..SORRY

Answer 2

It may not have been nice but you better get you use it. If you're going to name your child something that sounds so close to the male reproductive organ you and child better have thick skin.

You'll probably also want to save up for some therapy for your son.

Answer 3

Because your newborn has a stupid name!  

Answer 4

they were being jerks

Answer 5

What's even funnier is how many people here fail to recognize an obvious joke.

No, actually that's tragic, not funny.

Answer 6

You should have showed them your p***s that would have shut them up! When ever I find myself in that position I just flash em so I assume you would get the same result;)

Answer 7

Well, that is rude, but the name does rhyme with a male body part if you know what I mean.

Answer 8

I told you that you should have named him Slappy, Jr.

Answer 9

Im laughing too.  

Answer 10

not as offended as your son would be if you really gave him this so called name!!!

i don't care what people say their crazy names mean it doesn't change the facts that the names are hideous--no offense but if the truth offends so be it.

no child deserves this kind of name an the excuse it is part of some made up culture is no excuse for child cruelty!!! just my opinion and i am tired of being reported cause people lack common sense,get over yourselves and join the real world people!!!! good luck,really!!!

Answer 14

How much longer until 6th grade starts up for you?

Although, for an 11 year old, I must say that your spelling and punctuation is top notch! Just a little lacking in the humor department, but that will come with age.

Answer 15

Answer 16

Did you go to an American hospital? Or one in your "culture"?

If American, then cuz your baby's name means, well, errrr, ask anyone american that isn't me and you'll find out!

Answer 17

Answer 27

Well, it's clear to me, they were just jealous. Probably wishing they had a lil' Peenith of their own. Merrick needs anger management.

And for all of you who are going to give me a thumbs down get over yourselves because you know it is true.
