1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: This is the Fits In with Her with Kate Richie podcast. Richie,

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: what's going on in your world?

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 2: Well, it's not my world because I am certainly not

4
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 2: having a baby. Okay, no announcement here this morning. But

5
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 2: you know what, when it does happen, you'll be the

6
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 2: first to know.

7
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: There's a special bell that gets rung in the studio

8
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: just in case Kate's having a baby.

9
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: Really prefer a gong a glitter cannon.

10
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: Let's do a gong and a glitter look.

11
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: Friends fall out for lots of different reasons, Okay, And

12
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: I think in the world of women choosing baby names

13
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 2: and people's approval of baby names, and perhaps the theft

14
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: of baby names, this is what you have to keep

15
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 2: it to yourself exactly. I agree. I didn't tell anybody,

16
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 2: or we didn't tell anybody about our chosen names, not

17
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 2: even the family.

18
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: I disagree. Was she conceived in May?

19
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: She's an August baby and different spelling, which she's very

20
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: to point out to everybody that gets it wrong, A

21
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: bit like her mama when they leave a tea out

22
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: of Richie. So she's learning from the best. No, So

23
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 2: I agree, keep it to yourself. We didn't even know

24
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: the sex of the baby. So we had a few

25
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: different options of both genders. This friendship group, and it's

26
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 2: it's a local story actually, And how lovely when you

27
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: have people in your friendship group who are giving birth

28
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 2: for the first time around the same time. You know

29
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: you're going to your appointments at the same.

30
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: Time, and you know that pople are going to grow

31
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: up together.

32
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 2: Well, that's the plan, isn't that you can start the

33
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: little Sunday schools or the day cares and things like that. Anyway,

34
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: they go for breakfast about three weeks before the baby's born.

35
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: They're chit chatting about all things babies, and the conversation

36
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: of names comes up. And it's not a big con

37
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,919
Speaker 2: it's not a huge conversation. But let's just call her Mary.

38
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: She's at one end of the table and she overhears

39
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: her friend Allison at the other end discussing names. Now,

40
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: I don't know what the name is. Let's just say Angel.

41
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: Angel is that from home and.

42
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 2: Melissa George and she was a big fan in the

43
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: nineties and she wanted to call her baby Angel. Anyway,

44
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 2: she overheard it, and this woman Mary, she said, in

45
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 2: that moment, I realized that's the name. I need that

46
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: name for my baby, didn't mention it. She goes into

47
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 2: labor before her friend does and named her baby Angel.

48
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 2: Sends out the obligatory photo with the you know and

49
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 2: mum and baba doing well, length, weight of the baby,

50
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 2: and little you know, little Angel is here, safe and well.

51
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 2: Now the friend, who was still yet to give birth,

52
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 2: did not reply. Turned in miss Satan. It's still it's

53
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 2: still never been discussed. It's very very quiet on that front.

54
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: But she just knows that she stole the baby. And then,

55
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: I mean, she's made tried to make herself feel better

56
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: by thinking that her friend's gone on and used her

57
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 2: second favorite name.

58
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: Can I jump in, Kate, Richie, you can.

59
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: It's surprised you waited that I didn't.

60
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: Just talking, it's impossible to own a name. Nobody owns

61
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: a name.

62
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: I think that's.

63
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: You just And the other thing is to you're so

64
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: ignorant at the time and caught up in yourself that

65
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: you need to.

66
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: Rely pregnant women.

67
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't get women on a whole Kate, No, but

68
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: you've got to understand that those people, right, that the

69
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: likelihood of them all spending their life together is unlikely

70
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: they're friends, don't get me wrong. But then they'll go

71
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: to different schools, possibly in different grades.

72
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: Well they didn't even different together at breakfast, they were

73
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: at other ends of the table. That's a sign.

74
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: You're just crazy to think that this side by side

75
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: person who's stolen my name will ride along with me

76
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: throughout life in this awkwardness of having our names clashings

77
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: that you don't own a name.

78
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,839
Speaker 2: But I agree that you're going to get maybe your

79
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 2: paths will fork at some point.

80
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: I made him mind, Eddie Glenn. He rang me and

81
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: he said, mate, we're so excited we had a little boy.

82
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to call him Jack, and I know you

83
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: love Jack and you're going to have a Jack too

84
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: one day. Awesome, great mate, that is Edie Glenn. He

85
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: told you to your fame, not one part of him, Cad.

86
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: I understand that.

87
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 2: But in that in those very early days and weeks.

88
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: And months, I can't own a name. Can we go

89
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: to Margaret and Penrith, What do you think is it

90
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: okay to still a baby name Margaret?

91
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: No, it's never Margaret in the world, and you can

92
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 2: call the child any name.

93
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: But your story is your store. My sister in law

94
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: stole my baby names. Oh I see, and what's the

95
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: relationship with her?

96
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 2: Like now, Mark, did she some way?

97
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: Yeah? What? What weeks apart?

98
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 2: What was the name?

99
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: It was Kimberly.

100
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 2: Kimberly.

101
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

102
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 2: Ye.

103
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: You've got to understand our children are now in our.

104
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,799
Speaker 2: Thirty But when she turned to the hospital, she said, oh,

105
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 2: so you had a girl. We didn't know who were

106
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 2: having a girl. He didn't know she was having a girl.

107
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: She said, didn't you have Kimberly picked out? And that

108
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 2: she could see her Kimberly, I said, yeah, but then

109
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 2: we decided it was a bimbo name.

110
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:46,239
Speaker 1: She's thrust that knife into your bat Margaret right there.

111
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of bimbo Kimberly's that may have

112
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: given you that idea. I don't know. Kim One just

113
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: said it because I was annoyed. Yeah, I mean, boom,

114
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: what a great response this.

115
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: My sister rang me and said, we're having a kid

116
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: with her of calling it Francesca, what, I didn't want

117
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: to know.

118
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 2: That's but because that's kind that's a little bit too

119
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: close for comforting.

120
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: My grandmother was Norma May. And then you went and

121
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: named your daughter mate, and I'm like.

122
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: But look, I'm not I'm going to sound highly uneducated here,

123
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 2: but I'm sure aren't there names within other families, maybe

124
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: European families where like the first son is always called

125
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 2: the same name, So in other cultures it's not that

126
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 2: big a deal.

127
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: I've got to make Bernard or Bernard however you want.

128
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: To say, No, one's stealing that name.

129
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: He's been unfortunately two and fiftieth in the world. He

130
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: doesn't even like it, but he's the seventh one in

131
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 1: a generation. All the men are called Bernard. How for
