Barack is not my first choice for a baby's name, but I still think it's a nice name. I might give it some thought if I ever become a dad.
shareNo. When my kid is in school, they're going to say: "do you smell what Barack is cooking?"
shareNo
shareIt means ‘blessed’ which is nice but I don’t find it all that nice sounding, so no.
shareI thought it meant "lightning." The old PM of Israel was named Ehud Barak. Heard that was what the name meant.
I think the name sounds cool but I would never name a child after a politician and the name is forever linked thus.
I heard the name was of African origin which is an origin I have no relation to.
I gave my daughter a lovely name which is sometimes claimed to be Jewish and on other websites claimed to be ‘American,’ whatever that means…
Much like ‘Celebrity Net Worth’ sites a lot of these ‘baby name meaning’ sites seem to be full of nonsense.
No, I would never name my kid after a rather mediocre politician.
shareSurprised you would even answer the question with your homos shouldn’t be parents crusade. Leave it to the straights, mate 🙃
shareNo, I'm not against gay couples raising their own children from a father's previous heterosexual relationship.
I'm against depriving a child of a mother by design. If gay men want to play house - adopt a stray dog.
Yes, I’m well aware of your position.
shareOkay, so I'm not against gay men being parents. I'm against gay adoption of infants.
shareYes, again, I understand that you believe it is preferable for a child to be raised by a deadbeat dad and crackwhore mother who don’t want them, as opposed to a same sex couple who are willing to nurture and love them.. because umm.. that’s the way nature intended it, right?
shareI never said that. Take children away from unfit parents. And put them up for adoption by a qualified heterosexual couple.
Yeah, nature kinda intends babies to have mothers, does it not?
When gay men start having buttbabies we can talk.
What a gross thing to say.
I don’t like you or your attitude very much so no, I don’t think we will be talking about anything again, thanks all the same.
Typical intolerance for anyone who disagrees with the Gay Hivemind. We don't all think like you. Most of us have no interest in babysitting.
shareI HAVE RAISED MY DAUGHTER JUST FINE BY MYSELF...COULD HAVE DONE AN EVEN BETTER JOB WITH ANOTHER DUDE TO HELP OUT...YOUR POINT IS STUPID AND IGNORANT OF MANY FACTS. NOEMOJI
shareAgain, that's not the issue. No one is trying to take your daughter from you. But gay male couples are taking babies from mothers.
shareNO...THEY AREN'T...THE NUMBER OF ACCEPTABLE COUPLES LOOKING TO ADOPT IS MUCH LOWER THAN YOU THINK IT IS...GAY OR STRAIGHT...ANYONE WHO CAN LOVE AND PROVIDE FOR A CHILD SHOULD BE CONSIDERED...PERIOD. NOEMOJI
shareNo, infants and very young children are in demand for adoption. Give those kids the opportunity to have both a father and a mother.
Older and handicapped children are hard to place. Let gay couples adopt them.
Allow babies to have both a mother and a father. This stuff is not rocket science.
YOU ARE A BROKEN RECORD THAT DOESN'T CARRY A TUNE...YOU JUST KEEP REPEATING THE SAME BACKWARD'S THINK HORSESHIT...LOVE & MONEY...THOSE ARE AND SHOULD BE THE ONLY THINGS REQUIRED TO ADOPT. NOEMOJI
shareHuh? I'm not the one who raised the issue, Sheldon.
No, in the best of worlds a child has a mother. That's a no-brainer.
If you have a choice, give the child to a breeder couple. Common sense.
“infants and very young children are in demand for adoption.”
And yet orphanages are filled to capacity 🤔
They're filled to capacity with older kids and children with disabilities, not infants.
To me this isn't even controversial. You try to create as a normal a childhood as possible when you put an infant up for adoption. A household with a mother and a father gets first choice.
It's selfish for gay men to adopt babies. It just is. A child is not a prop and I ain't your mother.
For me, the important thing is a child receiving a loving, stable environment.
shareAnd there are mothers and fathers who can do that.
You try to replicate a natural environment for the child as closely as possible. I don't know how it works on Jupiter, but on earth mothers give birth to children.
There are broad psychological implications here. Adult role models of both sexes are important.
We can start with the obvious. Are you saying breastfeeding is not important in the development of an infant?
I wasn’t breastfeed and I think I turned out ok. My daughter wasn’t either and she seems fine too.
A child with two loving parents is better off than a child with no loving parents.
But breastfeeding is better than no breastfeeding.
Why is Breastfeeding Important for your Baby?share
Breast milk helps keep your baby healthy.
It supplies all the necessary nutrients in the proper proportions.
It protects against allergies, sickness, and obesity.
It protects against diseases, like diabetes and cancer.
It protects against infections, like ear infections.
It is easily digested – no constipation, diarrhea or upset stomach.
Babies have healthier weights as they grow.
Breastfed babies score higher on IQ tests.

It probably is.
shareJust give the baby the best possible environment. Having a mother is part of that. Gay male couples have to be a tiny share of available adoptive parents. I don't see why this is necessary.
shareWell, since you and I don’t run orphanages, we don’t get a say in the matter.
shareYes, in a democracy we have a say in state adoption rules.
And no one is above the rules, not even powerful politicians.

nature kinda intends babies to have mothers, does it not?
Dude, your attempt to avoid the obvious is telling.
We're talking about humans here. But I have never seen a female cat or dog abandon her litter to be raised by a male dog or a tomcat. It just doesn't happen.
The vast majority of human children are raised by mothers. To argue otherwise is ludicrous.
Whether a gay male can replace an infant's mother is another question. But nothing you have said supports that.
Probably not. I don't intend to have kids, but a few years ago, I had a dream about what I would name them if I did and I'm gonna stick to that.
