I'm 20 weeks pregnant and found out a few weeks ago that we're having a girl. We chose Arabella as her name but a lot of people and mainly my MIL keep saying "you may as well just make her ari and get it over with so that people don't call her bella"

WHO TF CARES first of all.. and everyone keeps asking what I'm going to call her...? uhm, by her name? 😂 so annoying. Why pick a beautiful name just to call her something else full time. why is everyone so wrapped up in what to call her when the answer should be simple..

HER NAME 😂
