What's our name?

[TJ]

Back in that other place, we were SAIF.  I really like the idea of this board being called "Parenting After IF" with the emphasis on parenting there.  But... that would make our acronym PAIF, and there's already a PAIF.  So, who should we be?

[leahb12]

I like PAIF. I think that best describes our board.

[Robeano]

Oh this is a tough one. I also much prefer parenting after IF, but as mentioned, there is a PAIF already. Maybe we should talk to them?

Or find another word that means parenting, like Raising a child, life after IF (ha LAIF would be like laugh)

[Robeano]

Okay did a google search for synonyms for parenting.

Good ones: mothering (seeing as we have no dudes on the board), care giving, upbringing, child-rearing

The "fun" ones: spawn, hatch, construct, erect... Lol

[luvboston]

I kind of like LAIF because its would mean life after infertility
Or we could do LPAIF life and parenting after if

[bellalou]

Children
CAIF

Whoa... clucky vs. @ducky -- that one's tricky!

ETA: Oh, well, I'm an idiot apparently.  Ducky kept her numbers.  That'll keep them from being confused.

[k8teeintx]

LPAIF seems most appropriate to me!

This way we can talk about our DHs and not just our littles!!

[chiwifey]

I like LAIF

[leahb12]

I change my vote to LAIF.

I like LAIF but I'm not sure everyone would feel comfortable (those who haven't felt like they are past IF...ttc again, not over the sting of it, etc). I imagine that would be most girls but I'm not sure.

I really like parenting after IF but i don't think we can ask the PAIF ladies to change their name just bc we want the abbreviation. ☺

Babies after IF (BAIF - lol). Did someone say moms after IF? MAIF...oh Lordy.

[karabear4409]

I like LPAIF. It doesn't have the same ring to it that LAIF has, but I think it addresses some of @ducky719's concerns.

Hahaha...all I can think of when I see BAIF or MAIF is MILF. I have the inappropriate brain of a teenage boy.

[TJ]

Surely there has got to be the perfect acronym for us. Come on creative peeps!

[smillemom]

PWIF- Parenting with IF? Once IF always IF?

[Robeano]

I also like LPAIF, cuz in my head I say it Le Paif, and then it sounds French and cool lol

But I like that includes parenting and life after IF.

[kmc84]

I like LPAIF. Or we could swap it to PLAIF. I like saying that better.

[bellalou]

^^^^^ yes! This makes complete sense!
meaning PLAIF

[jenny935]

I'm cool with the L is the P is included as well.

In addition to Ducky's points, f it's written as "Life after IF" in the side bar, would it attract people looking for CFNBC stuff too? Maybe not if it's under parenting, but that's the gist I took from it at first.

[richzep]

I like the PWIF option but I'm totally good with PLAIF.

[phishgirl]

I'm confused!!!!

I couldn't see the poll on the app, only on my laptop.

[phishgirl]

I can see the poll. I'm just confused. I think as much as I like parenting with IF I think it's confusing and we can't expect another board to change its name because we want to. I'm leaning towards kids after IF.

I LOVE LAIF!  Good one Robeano!  Wish I was clever!  but, alas, I am not.  sigh......

[TJ]

Sorry phishgirl I really meant that as silly. Obv we wouldn't ask PAIF to change their name!

I just thought about Children After IF -- only bc the acronym is hilarious... CHAIF.

I'm a little drunk.

[bellalou]

Ya. That made me lol

[richzep]

I change my vote to CHAIF!! Lol!

[phishgirl]

I didn't take it as a jab. No worries TJ
