Is it strange to name your baby before you

have the baby?

I pretty much tell people as long as she is a she, her name will be Hannah Grace. So a girl from the office had a beautiful "Hannah" wall hanging made and it's on my desk. A few people have commented "You already have this child named?" I didn't think it was strange to have names picked out in advance...is it?

I don't think it's weird at all. We refer to Steven as Steven or Stevie all the time.

I agree that they are weird for commenting. Chat Icon

Do they have kids?? Hmmm.... I think they are strange! I know some people have a few names chosen before the baby is born- but they wait until they see the baby to choose the exact name.

Not at all. We have our name almost picked. My frend had her name picked before she knew it was a boy and even called him by that name in the womb.

Re: Is it strange to name your baby before you

It is only weird if you write the baby's name on the thank you cards...which my SIL did...he wasn't born yet...that was weird.

Re: Is it strange to name your baby before you

My sister and BIL knew the name, just didn't tell anyone. We found out the day Matthew was born. She said she didn't want to "jinx" anything.

No I haven't signed her name to anything. Sometimes I write "& baby" when I'm writing something to close family or friends.

Thanks everyone for making me normal againChat Icon
