Oh sure-I got a lot of "oh, I don't care for that at all". We still named him Owen.

Yes, my mother, father and sister. My brother didnt' care less. But those other three sure didn't hold back on their opinion!! Reason why we aren't telling anyhone DC#2's name. I don't want to hear anyone's trap. Chat Icon But of course now that Xavier here it's all about Baby Xavier and the million nicknames they have for him. Chat Icon

That always amazes me that people comment on it, it really does! I learned this time around that I'm going to keep my mouth shut on which names we pick.

We only told a few people. My dad is not one of them, since we don't really get along and he's an a$$hole.

Anyway, I spoke to him today and he tried to goad me into telling him. When I refused, he said something like, "I hope to God it's not something like ______ " and all I could think was, what if it was that name?

The moral of the story is that people don't THINK before they say stupid $hit, and it bugs me to no end.

I had a few people make faces, to which I would reply, "As long as me and DH like it, that's all that really matters, he's our baby"

Some people are jerks!Chat Icon

Re: The balls on some people I swear

This is exactly why DH and I did not tell anyone! When people ask me, I just say, "We're really not sure, yet." I have experienced first hand family members saying those things behind the mom's back once the baby is born and named and I figure if that happens, at least I don't have to hear it! When women are pregnant, people feel free to say ANYTHING to them.

My SIL did that to me with my first. To the point that it made me question it and I CHANGED it. Do I regret it? Not really...but it does annoy me!!!!

Re: The balls on some people I swear

Wow! That is ballsy. I really don't want to tell anyone the baby's name until he/she is born. Now controlling DH on that is going to be another thing. He can't keep his mouth shut about anything. Chat Icon So we'll see.

That really is horrible. DH and I decided we aren't telling anyone the name we pick until LO is born because we don't want to hear anyone's opinion. People are so rude when it comes to stuff like this. We just don't want to hear a hint of a negativity about whatever we decide to go with.

Two of my closest co workers asked me what my name choices were.

I said "right now, we like Alison and Alyssa. But I think it's going to be Alison"

They both made a face and said "ugh. Alison is so plain. Why would you even think of using that?"

I smiled and replied with "honestly, I don't give a sh*t what either of you think" Chat Icon

I dont tell anyone our name choices in order to avoid that. But also, I cant imagine anyone would be so rude to my face! I am sorry people said that to you.
