Woman seeks advice over family member’s list of “stupid” baby names

<p dir="ltr">A woman has asked for advice after seeing her cousin’s list of potential baby names, with many of them being classed as “just stupid”. </p> <p dir="ltr">The woman took to Reddit to explain how her cousin sent her baby name list to her family group chat, and no one has yet replied. </p> <p dir="ltr">"This was all sent in a family group chat and no-one has replied yet. I feel bad because at least she has put some thought into these names, especially compared to how most of us were named. On the other hand, well, you saw the names," the woman posted on Reddit. </p> <p dir="ltr">The names her cousin has shared and her logic behind them include: </p> <ol> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Urf (Earth..because no matter where the child lives in life, it will always be on Earth. Can't fault the logic on that one – Elon Musk might take umbrage though.)</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Seaeoh (CEO. Apparently names dictate destiny and this name will cosmically transform the child into a successful business magnate.)</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Stamp (She was in a long distance relationship with the father for a while and they used to send each other letters with...stamps. Sounds like what a caveman character in a film would be called.)</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Biotic (Connected to antibiotic. This will protect the child from disease. Antibiotic would be and I quote, 'Ridiculous because it would sound like 'Aunty' which would cultivate bullying because she would sound old.')</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Ayeai (AI. In the future AI will take over and if it turns nasty it will go easy on her kid because they share a name.)</p> </li> </ol> <p dir="ltr">The woman explained that her cousin's logic for going with something very different for a name is "so many children nowadays have unique names that it will eventually become normal and people with 'standard' names will be the ones looking foolish." </p> <p dir="ltr">She also added that her cousin's husband isn't "brave enough" to say anything about the names and hopes she will lose interest. </p> <p dir="ltr">The people of Reddit had a lot to say about the choices, with one person commenting, “Those are all just terrible." </p> <p dir="ltr">"I say this in the kindest way possible. She is delusional and I dare say, stupid. That poor future child deserves better," wrote another user. </p> <p dir="ltr">Another suggested a normal name might actually be unique now and wrote, "Having a 'standard' name is what is unique now. How many kids are being named David and Lisa?" </p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Image credits: Shutterstock </em></p>

The Chase star splits from second cousin after failed open marriage

<div class="post_body_wrapper"> <div class="post_body"> <div class="body_text "> <p><em>The Chase</em> star Mark Labbett affectionately referred to as "The Beast" has shocked fans as he announced his split from his second cousin and wife.</p> <p>Mark and Katie have confirmed they’ve separated after seven years of marriage, blaming the split on their 27-year-age gap, according to <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/12534450/the-chase-mark-labbett-split-wife-katie/" target="_blank" class="_e75a791d-denali-editor-page-rtflink"><em>The Sun</em></a>.</p> <p>Mark, 55, said: “There was never any deceit on Katie’s part but it’s got to the point now where I realise it is better for us to go our separate ways and remain friendly.”</p> <p>Katie, 28, has been dating a man named Scott Bate, 30, for 18 months. She said: “I just want everyone to know what’s what and that we are all happy.”</p> <p>In an exclusive interview with <em>The Sun</em>, Mark and Katie, who have a three-year-old son, opened up about their unusual arrangement.</p> <p>Mark said: “When Katie first came clean to me about her boyfriend, I’d had an inkling. But right from the start, my attitude was quite pragmatic – this was spilt milk, what could we do about the situation to make it OK?</p> <p>“We had a family. We couldn’t just throw that away lightly. There were other considerations.</p> <p>“But COVID-19 provided the perfect storm. My mental health suffered and the differences in our ages became magnified.</p> <p>“With Katie seeing Scott after lockdown, it’s got to the point where I realise it’s better for us to go our separate ways and remain friendly, without the stress factor of living together.”</p> <p>However, Mark admits his wife’s ongoing relationship with Scott had taken its toll despite the couple’s initial attempts to have an open marriage.</p> <p>Mark said: “Our son has mentioned Scott’s name quite a few times. Each time he does it, Katie looks a bit sheepish.</p> <p>“My only concern is that Scott’s good with him, which he appears to be. We’ve started speaking and are beginning to chat more and more.</p> <p>“We’ve spoken about some of the bigger things, and Katie knows what my red lines are, and I know hers. So this way, nobody is shocked or surprised.”</p> <p>He added: “Jealousy is so negative. Nearly every other emotion has some benefit but jealousy just sort of makes you stop functioning.</p> <p>“I don’t want to get to the stage when someone mentions Scott’s name and my shoulders tense.</p> <p>“All that matters is what is best for our son.</p> <p>“I will never ever slag off Katie in public. One day, when our son is grown up, he will be reading this and I don’t ever want him to read anything bad about his mother.”</p> <p>The pair have had marital troubles previously, as Katie cheated on Mark while he was away filming US and Australian episodes of <em>The Chase</em>.</p> <p>“I was so unhappy. Mark and I hadn’t been great and he was away working all the time while I looked after our son. I felt so alone," Katie shared.</p> <p>“My friend came over one night and took me out, introducing me to all these new people who became my social group.</p> <p>“Because of our ages, they’re not the sort of people Mark could or would want to hang around with.</p> <p>“I didn’t go out with the purpose of meeting someone. It just ended up that I met someone I clicked with. It went from there.”</p> <p>The pair initially met in 2010 on Facebook and were married 12 months later. </p> <p>Mark has confirmed that the pair haven't discussed divorce yet. </p> <p>“Katie and I haven’t discussed divorce yet. That will only happen if one of us decides we want to remarry.</p> <p>“At the moment, I’m more than happy to be on my own. I find it easy.</p> <p>“You can’t speak for the future, but I am conscious I don’t put a target on my back.</p> </div> </div> </div>

Why the Queen’s cousin called Prince Charles a “gruesome child”

<p>As her first cousin, Princess Alexandra is often seen close to Queen Elizabeth and has been referred to as her best friend.</p> <p>Alexandra often accompanies the Queen to official events, including sitting next to Her Majesty in the royal carriage to Ascot.</p> <p>She was also one of the bridesmaids at the Queen’s wedding to Prince Philip at Westminster Abbey, but Princess Alexandra ruffled feathers by referring to a young Prince Charles as having “gruesome habits”.</p> <p>In 1952, Princess Alexandra wrote a letter to her brother Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, where she was explaining a conversation between herself and four-year-old Prince Charles.</p> <p> "Darling Eddie," she wrote. Princess Alexandra continued to explain that at a family gathering in Balmoral, they were playing a popular game known as "stone" when a guest named Martin "hit me quite accidentally on the mouth, which was extremely painful".</p> <p>The next day, there was a blister after the injury, which required attention from a doctor.</p> <p> "So this morning Dr Middleton came and pierced it! Ho Ho. Charles was fascinated and insisted on watching. Gruesome child don't you think?"</p> <p>The letter, which was dated September 21 1952, also described the ways in which Alexandra had been spending her time with the family, as well as Prince Philip.</p> <p> "We had a long discussion about black stockings. Too stupid. He is so sweet."</p> <p>Princess Alexandra finished off the letter sweetly, wishing her brother to take care of himself.</p> <p> "Well look after yourself. With very, very many hugs &amp; [kisses] from Georgie."</p> <p>According to the<span> </span><a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.royal.uk/princess-alexandra" target="_blank">Royal Family’s website</a>, Alexandra has  "supported the Queen throughout her reign, through representing Her Majesty in the UK and overseas and attending events of national significance".</p> <p>Alexandra is patron and president of over 100 organisations, including the Mental Health Foundation, St. Christopher’s Hospice and Queen Alexandra’s Royal Naval Nursing Service.</p> <p>The letter that Princess Alexandra wrote to her brother has been in a private collection for 25 years, but was eventually sold at an auction in 2010. The letter sold for around $800.</p> <p>At the time, Auctioneer Richard Davie said: "It is a rare letter with good references to the Royal Family."</p>

Rowan Baxter’s family speaks after vicious murders: “Everyone else, they’re shocked – I’m not”

<p>The cousin of family killer Rowan Baxter has spoken out about her family, saying he was an “angry child” while growing up together.</p> <p>Alana Hampson told <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.news.com.au/national/queensland/crime/there-was-a-lot-of-violence-rowan-baxters-relatives-speak-out-about-killer-dads-upbringing/news-story/f54961c4792b002951ab055b067135a1" target="_blank"><em>news.com.au</em></a> that while she was estranged from her older cousin Rowan, she lived with him and his brother Charles as a teenager while going through foster care.</p> <p>“He was an angry kid,” the 38-year-old admitted.</p> <p>“There was a bit of cruelty there sometimes, little hints throughout his life. He would yell at you to get out of his room or swear at you. Rowan was like that real abrupt kid. Just one of those rough tumbling boys with attitude.”</p> <p>42-year-old NRL Player Rowan Baxter burned his estranged wife Hannah Clarke and their three children to death last week in their family SUV before stabbing himself and dying.</p> <p>In a 2004 newspaper interview, Rowan told reporters he had quit rugby union to join the Mt Albert Lions rugby league club after being repeatedly overlooked for selection by the Bay of Plenty Steamers.</p> <p>“Word got back to me they (Bay of Plenty) thought I had anger problems,” Baxter told The Daily Post.</p> <p>The 42-year-old was reportedly involved in two vicious brawls while playing club rugby for Te Puke in 2002 and 2003.</p> <p>“That’s the way I play, I don’t regret it, that’s who I am,” Baxter said.</p> <p>Ms Hampson’s mother, Dorothy Ann Baxter, is the sister of Rowan’s father, Charlie — one of nine brothers and sisters in the clan from New Zealand’s Tauranga region.</p> <p>“I haven’t been around my family most of my life — I hate my family,” Ms Hampson told</p> <p><a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.news.com.au/national/queensland/crime/there-was-a-lot-of-violence-rowan-baxters-relatives-speak-out-about-killer-dads-upbringing/news-story/f54961c4792b002951ab055b067135a1" target="_blank">news.com.au.</a></p> <p>“(He was) f***ed in the head. There was a lot of violence. The Baxters had a hard life. (One of my other cousins), his younger baby died. The baby coffin was put in the car and he did doughnuts.”</p> <p>Ms Hampson said that while she herself hasn’t had “clean life”, her cousin’s acts are unforgiveable.</p> <p>“I haven’t had a clean life myself but for someone to do that … I can’t believe anyone would do that. Someone told me you’ve got to forgive — you can’t forgive that,” she said.</p> <p>While she last saw Rowan “a long time ago”, she says the horrific murders have left the family shell-shocked. “It’s affected all my aunties, they’re speechless,” she said.</p> <p>Heart-stricken Dorothy Ann Baxter described Rowan as “a good boy” who “lost the plot”. Ms Baxter confirmed she hadn’t seen Rowan since he moved to Australia.</p> <p>“He was always a good boy. I can’t understand,” she said.</p> <p>“He’s lost the plot. I don’t know. He couldn’t handle it then one day he just lost it. It’s not good. But I know he wouldn’t do it out of his own mind so he had to be … lost it, just lost the plot. Some of us do. I’m not saying Rowan was good for what he did but people do lose the plot.”</p> <p>Ms Baxter spoke of funeral arrangements for Rowan, saying: “Of course there’s going to be a funeral</p> <p>“They’ve got to get him back here first, the cops have still got him haven’t they?”</p> <p>She added, “We’re going to say goodbye to him. He’s going to be put with his mother. I’m just glad my mum wasn’t here because it would have killed her.”</p> <p>But Ms Hampson says she is “definitely not going to the funeral”. </p> <p>“I can’t bring myself to see that,” she said.</p> <p>“It’s a bit hard to swallow. He can rot in hell for what he did to those kids.”</p>

The apple doesn’t fall from the tree! Israel Folau’s cousin loses job over religious comments

<p>The cousin of rugby star Israel Folau has reportedly left his job at a Catholic school days after he was reportedly quoted speaking against the Catholic Church. </p> <p>Josiah Folau was an employee at St Gregory’s Catholic College in Campbelltown in South West Sydney and attends the same church as his elder cousin. </p> <p>The 20-year-old was recently quoted saying the Catholic Church was the “synagogue of Satan.”</p> <p>Ben Fordham, 2GB radio show host, reported Folau’s religious beliefs was part of the reason he decided to part with St Gregory’s. </p> <p>“I’m told his employment came to an end,” Fordham said. </p> <p><img style="width: 500px; height: 282.23270440251576px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7829170/dailies-2.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/435a190e2e1f418d8bd188e3b3be7a23" /></p> <p>Folau is a member of The Truth of Jesus Christ Church in Kenthurst in north west Sydney - the same as Israel. </p> <p>He is often seen translating his uncle’s Tongan preachings into English. </p> <p>His latest Instagram posts are similar to his famous rugby star cousin’s who posts religious remarks often. </p> <p>Recently he posted a graphic that read: “If it was a sin 100 years ago, it’s still a sin today.

Woman, 92, adopts 76-year-old cousin after raising her like her own child for more than 60 years

<p>Muriel Clayton, 92, was pronounced the legal mother of Mary Smith, 76, by a court in Dallas, Texas, finally fulfilling a lifetime desire to have their bond recognised by law.</p> <p>Smith was just 11 years old when her father died. Her mother was in a mental hospital so newly married Clayton, 27, took her in. By the time Smith was 14, the arrangement was permanent.</p> <p>After the decision was finalised, Clayton told Dallas Morning News, “I feel great. This is what I have wanted to do for a long, long time, and now it has come to pass.”</p> <p>Explaining her motivation: “I'm an old lady, and I work jigsaw puzzles. And I have a big picture of my life – my jigsaw puzzle. But I needed one more piece to make it complete – and this is it.”</p> <p>Clayton said she wanted to adopt Smith decades ago but would never have suggested it while Smith’s biological mother was still alive.</p> <p>“She was a sweet lady, a really great lady but she just couldn’t live in the real world,” said Clayton. </p> <p><strong>Related links: </strong></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong><a href="/news/news/2015/06/james-harrison-blood-donation/">This man has saved the lives of 2 million babies</a></strong></em></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong><a href="/news/news/2015/06/koala-joey-and-mum-in-surgery/">These pictures of a baby koala clinging to his mum during her surgery will make you feel things</a></strong></em></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong><a href="/news/news/2015/06/centenarian-sews-1000-dresses/">This 100-year-old woman has sewed over 1,000 dresses for charity</a></strong></em></span></p>
