Sooo I’m currently 27 weeks pregnant with a baby boy. Me and my partner have chose a name that we love and kind of takes after my partners name which is Kyle. We’re calling our little boy Kyza. Last night at a family meal his nan told me I was being disrespectful and informed me “kaiser” is German for emperor and is what the Germans used to call hitler. I don’t feel like I’m being disrespectful I’m not naming him after him as some tribute I wasn’t even aware, I just like the name. At school we never really learnt about the German war and kids in school (at least in my area) don’t now. They learn about more recent wars. We ended up getting into a debate, I have lost family and friends during tours of iraq but have a friend surnamed Hussain, should I befriend her. Ian Brady was a disgusting man but she named one of her own sons Ian, does that make her disrespectful too.... and if North Korea started dropping bombs on every man and his dog would we ban the name Kim.... she said her main concern was they chanted “kaiser” my only reply was because they speak German. I speak English translated I’d be chanting emperor and I’m not naming my son emperor. It’s really really frustrated me I had to leave to table and go to the bathroom for an extra long wee! Am I missing something...?
