only 9 weeks and already getting $h*t about names

Are people kidding me??????? We told the familys this weekend and of course everyone asked if we had names. If its a Chat Icon we will be naming it after our fathers if its a Chat Icon the MIDDLE name is going to be after my 2 grandmas who passed away.

Some one said "oh that sounds like a nun's name" another said well then you should also have <dh> grandmothers name in there as well. Yea NO.

The reason behind my grandmothers names are that I feel like my grandmothers are watching this baby, my first sonogram took place on the 24th anniversary of my paternal grandmas passing, and this baby is due around the time my maternal grandma passed away 11 years ago. To me is like they are saying "we are taking care of this baby" . Needless to say the negative comments all came from his side.

Uggggh so dont need this now

Re: only 9 weeks and already getting $h*t about names

we're not going to tell anyone until it's 'too late' (already on the birth certificate)

no family can avoid commenting on names..... just ignore them.

Re: only 9 weeks and already getting $h*t about names

That is why ours are staying a secret. We just don't want to hear it, and when the baby is in their arms and they are hold him/her they won't be able to do anything but love the name we picked.

Re: only 9 weeks and already getting $h*t about names

Yeah whenever anyone asks if we have names picked out, I just say we are working on it. We have told some people, but at this point I don't want opinions as to what they like or don't like. I think we will save our final decision until the day of to let everyone know.

Re: only 9 weeks and already getting $h*t about names

Anyone who asks we say "Since we told everyone the sex of the baby we are not telling the name we have chosen".

We are doing this specifically because we don't want to hear any wise response or other peoples opinions. Most of the time people mean well, but it's not their child and they don't get a say in the name chosen.

Re: only 9 weeks and already getting $h*t about names

I'm sorry. I hate when people bug about names. It's your baby, so who cares if other people don't like the names? When they have kids they can choose the names.

That is why we aren't telling names until the baby is born! (Except maybe on here, of course!)

Re: only 9 weeks and already getting $h*t about names

I've had boy and girl name since BEFORE i was BFP

Some love the girl name.. others cringe. Frankly I don't care. I get "She'll be made fun of"

So what? I was made fun of cuz i have two different colored eyes (something you can't hide) and really i learned, kids will ALWAYS be cruel. Parents have stopped making them accountable. So might as well give her a name she can enjoy in her adulthood.

So feel free to quote my daughter's name if you want a 'reaction' hahaha and hide your name until it's too late Chat Icon

If I have a girl (and they're leaning that way) her name will be :

Re: only 9 weeks and already getting $h*t about names

My advice to you - when anyone (and I mean anyone) asks you - tell everyone you aren't sure.

I used to get soooo upset during my pregnancy about it - cause this one didn't like it, it reminded someone of someone that they didn't like - blah blah blah.

We got to the point we said we didn't know and that when the baby got here and we looked at him or her - we would know then.

At least your MIL didn't tell you that the name you liked sounded like a terrorist! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I think i'd take that the kid would be made fun of over being a terrorist! Chat Icon

Won't all kids be made fun of at some point in their life for something? Chat Icon

Kids are mean, if it's not a name, it's the clothes. If it's not the clothes, it's the hair. There will always be something!

Re: only 9 weeks and already getting $h*t about names

I don't care what anyone says! I had to hear it to from some people about the names we picked, but it didn't bother me at all, even if you keep the baby's name a secret up intil the end, someone will still have a comment for it.

Your the parents if you like the name don't worry about what others think! Its not there child. Chat Icon

Not sharing our names on purpose. We knew our name the first time around and threw it into the mix when we told people ideas but never pinpointed the name. No matter what people will always find something bad to say Chat Icon

What makes me laugh is its not even the babys first name, its her middle name!!!!!!!

Of course they (meaning his side) had no problem when our son was born, because he was named after dh.

Re: only 9 weeks and already getting $h*t about names

Don't answer the question anymore. Say you aren't sure. It's such a crappy thing for anyone to comment about.

Ps. We also named our DD after both our paternal grandmother (same first name) and I am so happy about it. I love the fact I honored them both.

Re: only 9 weeks and already getting $h*t about names

That is why we did not tell anyone the name until he was born... we did not want to deal with any of that!!!!

ETA - we were completely honest - when anyone asked us for the names, we owuld say we are not telling anyone. We really feel it would be most special to say it only when the baby is born...

And, it was.... I went as far as not even telling the nurse as she held me for my spinal - she was trying to take my mind off the spinal (I was having a c/s) and she asked me what the names would be. I still wouldn't say... Then he was born, and they asked us, "Whats his name?" And DH and I said at the same time, "Cailen."
