Ok - WHO DOES THATChat Icon

What makes people think they can laugh at someone's choices?

Both of those names are lovely.




Unfortunately, a lot of people do -

my honest response to anyone who makes a face or laughs or tells me they don't like the name or whatever is "I don't care what you think" .....b/c I don't.

Re: Why I don't tell people my name choices...

i love Amelia. It is adorable. Both the names are fine choices.

When I would tell people my baby names they would always make other suggestions. I was always thinking " I already made my choices why are you making other suggestions" it would annoy me so eventually, sarcastically I would just agree with them and then say "ok, thats what I am going to name my kid' after a while - people got the hint and stopped

I think they are both beautiful names. I cannot believe that someone would be so crass as to laugh at your name choice.

Like them both, but love Mia as a nickname!

People are so annoying! It's one of the reasons we haven't told anyone I'm pregnant yet.

I love them both!

Do they have kids? What are their kids names?

If there is a big generational difference that could explain why but I still think it's incredibly rude to LAUGH at someone's name choice. Don't like it, fine, but to laugh? Rude.

I don't tell names either and this is part of the reason why.

I think they are beautiful names!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! People can be so rude sometimes - I remember a post a while back when someone was really rude about a name someone liked - honestly people need to just be more polite.

Both names are just so lovely.

Re: Why I don't tell people my name choices...

I truly think those are beautiful names. The people who made comments should learn to shut up. What are their names? I be they're nowhere near as pretty as the two you chose.
