He should have been named after Bob to be honest. As far as the names Bob picked out for his daughter's I find them very sweet and warm. I think the grandson’s name is Daft personally.

Agree with you x 100. There is nothing at all wrong with Michael's parents....Tiger should have gone to them. I'm not giving Bob an inch on this one. Also...basically none of the millions we all gave him for Band Aid/Live Aid got to the starving people we were trying to save. Where did the money go, Bob? I just saw your post after putting mine up.

Those step sisters would be rotten rolemodels to a young girl who has been orphaned. Bob hated Michael with a passion. He did this purely to spite Michael's family. I have zero respect for him.

Similarly, Meredith was traditionally a man's given name, later popularized for women. Ashley, Lindsey, Kelly, and Shannon are all surnames, and in past centuries it was relatively common in upper-class families of British descent to use family surnames as given names for male children. In the last 50 years, some of those surnames have become popular as female given names. Spellings like "Ashleigh" and "Lyndsey" are simply modern spelling variants, and people commonly feel freer to be "creative" in spelling choices for girls' names. It's not that these modernized spellings are somehow the "proper" version for girls' names while the traditional spelling is a boy's name.

It's both a religious and an ethnic identity. The reason saying "So-and-so is a Jew" sounds offensive to people is that we've bought into the nonsense of anti-semites who believe that Jews are racially inferior and that therefore it's an insult to say that someone is, in fact, a Jew. People who think that the term "Jewish" is neutral while "Jew" is somehow magically offensive may be thinking that the adjective describes an aspect of the person (i.e., their faith and maybe their ethnic heritage), while the noun represents everything that the person is (i.e., the ethnicity stands as a complete descriptor of the person). But that's like saying it's offensive to say "So-and-so is a doctor" instead of "So-and-so has a medical degree."

But the ones that choose you and treat you right? The only reason why blood family is your "family" is because someone they had sex with or the product of their sex had sex with someone else and resulted in that. Hardly a calling card, no credentials checked before those people are deemed acceptable to be your family. I find it more commendable that Bob was willing to legally claim her as his own instead of keeping her in not-even-stepdaughter territory. Besides, at least on the surface, couts look into suitability of adoption, no such investigation is done into blood parents.
