Should I start telling people my little girls name?

Question

I’m 22 weeks. When my brother was having his baby he told people the name pretty early and someone ended up taking the name so it looked like he stole it 😕

Answer

We didn’t tell until after the birth due to not wanting to listen to commentary on the choice

Answer

That’s entirely your choice. For us, we will be announcing the name as soon as we know the gender. I don’t care if others use the name, or if people don’t like it. My daughter has her name. My son has his. I want it known.

Answer

Luckily I don't personally know anyone else pregnant so I have told a few people our names. Our boy choice is named after my FIL and then my grandpa so even if someone took our choices we'd still use them.

Answer

I would wait until your baby is born. That way know one can take it or say anything bad about the name.

Answer

With my first two kids we announced the name as soon as we found out the sex. I had a lot of friends who actually copied parts of the names and tried to act like they didn’t. This time around I decided to wait till birth to announce so that way nobody can copy the name and I won’t get unwanted opinions on what they think of the name or what they think sounds better.

Answer

I announced her name when we announced our pregnancy at 20 weeks. 
Idgaf who steals the name, I had it picked and shared with the world at 20 weeks so anything after that is stealing it from me lol.

Answer

I had this happen to me too, and now my sons name is super popular which kind of sucks because we chose it to be unique.
So this pregnancy I’m not announcing the names to anyone other than family until the baby is here

Answer

Totally up to you! I wanted to tell people the name we chose because we knew tons of people pregnant and wanted to stake a claim with the name, however if that wasn't the case we probably would have held off so we wouldn't have to hear all the judgment. That being said we didn't really get negative feedback on the name we chose at all... I dunno if our friends and family just have a lot of tact or what, but that wasn't an issue for us.

Answer

My girls are 9 years old and 7 years old almost 8 and I do NOT say their names on social media, still.
