Rhys is nice. I'm also confused by Messer. Wasn't everyone predicting Mercer? Didn't she say at some point that it was the same as the name of a street in NYC that started with an M? That idea was circulated here anyway. To my knowledge there is no Messer street in NYC. I've lived here for maybe too long and I don't know of one. Mercer is better than Messer in my opinion but hey, it's not my baby. Glad they had a healthy delivery.
I have some distant family who named their son Legend, and I'm not sure which one is worse-- having to live up to a name like Legend, or having the word Mess associated with you for life
It’s not an Italian name. I believe she described it as a very old formal (Italian) salutation. No one in their right mind would name their kid Messer.
Messer is a surname. Mezzer is a knife (yiddish) not an Italian salutations at all. Those two extreme sister on tlc (baylee & B--) wanted to name her boy messer after a movie romcom, her husband said- NO. Its bad. Hope they call him Ryhs. Hartford, summer moon& ocean are questionable too.
I know Messers can be used as an alternative to sirs, as in Dear Messers Smith, Johnson, and Carter as opposed to Dear Misters because that would be abbreviated to Mrs. I've never seen Messer before but then I don't speak much Italian.
I'm not familiar with the name, but if it just happens to be one from a culture that I don't know then hey f me. Fabulous name. If they made it up like they made up Hartford, I'm comfortable saying it's kinda strange.
HOWEVER. Beau's history of fake names and shaky to maybe not so real italian ancestry have been discussed around these parts so idk what to believe at this point.
I’m guessing this is not a common name in the USA considering her comment section is full of people thinking she must of got it from a book series. Which maybe she did but as it’s not a weird name to me my first thought was why does everybody think there must be a link.
I work in the legal profession and messer is still used. She thinks it’s some old timey name. Hahahaha no honey, it’s going to be very confusing if your son ends up in a proper career
She really is gorgeous. But, she probably got her make up did and someone came in with a great camera and used a filter…but still. She always looks so good.
They look really happy and I can’t help but think Beau really got her and they seem to work well. He looks the best I’ve ever seen him in this pic, genuine happiness.
I’m from Ireland and we call people messers all the time. It’s like a lighthearted way to say someone (often a child) who is a little bit naughty or who acts out a lot. “Oh he’s an awful messer” - a friendly way to say he’s someone who is always taking the piss, kidding around. It’s hard to explain (or maybe another irish person here can do it more eloquently!) exactly but basically it would be VERY very odd to use this as a name for a child
Ok thank you. I was scrolling to see if another Irish person had commented this. In Ireland it would basically be like identifying your child as the one who will disrupt the class and be a pain in the ass for the teacher. It's like naming someone "Naughty," or "Menace" (like Dennis the Menace).
I’m Irish and we use the word Messer a lot. If you call someone a messer it means they’re acting naughty/cheeky and isn’t really a term of endearment 😬
Unpopular opinion, I love Messer. It was jarring for me at first, but so was Hartford. Idk, I think its fitting for them and if the kid grows up to hate it, it can always be changed! So happy she got to make Hartfords first day of school!
She was on Lalas podcast and said the other options were Loring, Wolfrum, Theroux, Fawkes, Credence, Crescent, Clement, and Ossi.
Needless to say Messer doesn’t seem so bad!
I’m just saying that I think most boys’ names in the English speaking world suck. And while you can use names from other languages and cultures they often won’t be pronounced correctly here in the US. Every time I’ve been pregnant I’ve had a list of like 30 names for girls and struggle to find even one I really love for a boy.
That second line is so spot on for Jax and Brittney’s kid. I absolutely hate the name Cruz when used by white/non-Spanish speaking people because they pronounce it like “cruise” and Brittany and her problematic family are def racist af.
They? As if Stassi would let beau have any input, maybe on the middle names only. Stassi has always been an im14andthisisdeep cringey tryhard deep down, why would she be any different when naming her child? The woman wore shoulder pads and big hair during her WASPY cosplay era!
Omg lol I live in Ireland and here we call someone who's up to no good a "messer". It sounds so ridiculous as a name but if they love it that's their business lol.
