I know the admin are doing their best to try to be inclusive, but it's definitely been eye-opening to see how the loss/IF community can be so easily ignored by others.
I don't think it's ignoring. I think it's just hard to see from a perspective you haven't experienced. Until I had experienced a miscarriage I didn't completely understand how it feels. That's one of the reasons I think it helps that we (the admins) come from a backgrounds that have us involved in many of the different boards on the site (IF, GKU, loss, BMBs, Parenting, etc). We're trying to run our current idea by people from the communities we are missing background in to get their thoughts and feelings before we post our idea.
Maybe not intentionally ignored, but definitely forgotten about. I was just surprised by the amount of names suggested that completely leave us out.
I agree that this is a perfect reason why it's important that the admins come from various backgrounds.

Half the suggestions don't even include dads, let alone loss parents. Most people default to their own perspective; that's just human nature, not a snub.

I think perhaps some of us fail to grasp exactly what words you feel are inappropriate.
Also I think there is a difference between names that exclude and names that don't include. Many of the names we've talked about don't reference any one type of group specifically at all.
Oh, that is fantastic. This, this is wine. Look at what these idiots are drinking. Look at these dicks! I mean obviously, it's not really delicious, like hot chocolate or Coke, but for wine...brilliant.

It's not so much about words that are inappropriate, but naming the board something that is related to being pregnant or having living children (like the bun in the oven or mommy hood ones) excludes whole communities of people who are on here.
I'm glad that we're (hopefully) moving away from those kinds of names, and I'm excited to see what the admins are up to.

We are really trying to be inclusive with this name, but we do recognize that it's not going to be possible to find a name that makes all 7,000+ members happy.

I honestly think it's as close as we're going to get to an all-inclusive name.

so are we waiting on the debut of "THE NAME" or on the final poll? i thought there was gonna be another poll but if ya'll have it all figured out I'm really excited! edited because I'm not just cool with it. I totally trust that ya'll have got it under control
There was going to be a poll, but then we were making the new short list of names and fell in complete love with this one. If everyone hates it then we'll make a new short list and poll, but we think most of you will be happy with it.

For what it's worth you can unclick and rechoose on any poll up until the poll is closed. However, we're not going with any of those names due to issues brought up in the thread. Announcement coming VERY soon!

But it IS a name suggested somewhere within the 21 pages of this thread
