If one more person asks what his name will be.....
I swear I am going to lose it. If I get one more cousin, friend, uncle, aunt, mom, or dad asking me "Come on tell me I won't tell any one" I swear I am going to start kicking people. I don't want to tell ANYONE!!! With my last DS every name I picked got a face, or a comment. I didn't want that this time. For the love of god I actually cringe when my phone rings.

What I do when people won't stop pestering, is give them an obviously made up name. "We're calling him Sheboygan" or, "We were playing Scrabble, and decided to name him after the remaining tiles, so his name will be XFGHT"

Re: If one more person asks what his name will be.....
 Way to go for sticking your ground. I am on the same boat. Everyone always ask and for a while I got away with saying we haven't decided yet.
Now that I am so close to my due date and everyone knowing my personality they don't believe we don't have a name so I get pestered even more. Bad enough my mother asked my 7 year old DS and he told her "I can't tell you because then you are going to spread it around to everyone." What a mess that was. So now they know we have a name for sure and are keeping it to ourselves. My mother refuses to understand why we do that. She thinks its dumb.
When people found out I was naming my first DS a Jr I got so many "don't you want him to have his own personality?" questions I wanted to scream.

I'd just pick an outrageous name and start telling people that's it with a serious face

Re: If one more person asks what his name will be.....
We decided on a name and I made the mistake of telling my MIL and she reacted very poorly to it. So now it's out.
Then I made the mistake of telling my mom a name we just recently chose and she was like "oh". Not "oh that's nice" or "cute". Just "oh". 
So annoying!!!!!

And this is exactly why I am not saying anything. With DS number one we decided if it was a girl it would be Gabriella Lynn and if it was a boy it would be Gabriel James. Well you should have heard the "Your going to name it what?" I swear I was only 3 mos along when we did this and I swore in my heart we would never tell anyone anything to do with the name again. My son ended up being a Theodore (teddy) after DH but my DH was a Jr and I hated the idea of a third. His mother who had passed away a year prior to DS was named Ernestine and so DS's name is Theodore Ernesto. People raised crazy eyebrows at that but I didn't care. So with this one I am keeping mum. We are still between three-four names but I am not saying anything about any of them.

Re: If one more person asks what his name will be.....
People at work bother me more than anyone. My family has given up and refers to the baby as "Rocco". Of course there are one too many gullible people who actually think I would name my kid that. No way in hell!

Re: If one more person asks what his name will be.....
Before we knew it was a girl we were telling people our boy name was Angus, after the guy from AC/DC. When we found out it was a girl SIL has started calling it Angus-ette.
At least the immediate family is amusing themselves.
FIL has been calling her Williamina, his name is William...

No, I'm not kidding. He is now banned at suggesting names.

Re: If one more person asks what his name will be.....
This bothers me too! I just tell people we are still thinking about it and leave it at that.
It also bugs me when people constantly ask how I'm feeling and when I'm due... but maybe that's just pregnancy hormones making me testy.

We're not sharing names either for the exact reason you aren't. I don't want to deal with any poor reactions. I don't care if they don't like it!
