Did you tell people the name before ?

Question

We told my mom the name we are using and a close friend but we aren't telling anyone. We will tell initials. We also aren't revealing gender until the shower. We aren't even finding out until then. I'm not the nicest person add pregnancy hormones to this and I won't be nice when people are negative about names. It's your child. As long as you love it and it's not going to get your kid best up. All for it!

Answer

I know! People could be so rude. I put up a poll on this site for help to pick out a baby name and people were just harsh- like adult bullies or something. Anyways- name your child what you want to name your child.

Answer

Yes our little girl will be named Marlowe Rayne (due in January) and people either love it or hate it.  Personally I don't give a shit cause it's our child so no one else needs to worry what we are doing with our kids unless it will affect them in a negative manner.

Answer

I did. I was debating on wether or not to share it, but now I'm glad I did. My friends always ask, " How's Anthony William doing?"  I love it!

Answer

I told everyone the name me and my SO had decided on and people went haywire saying things like it was ghetto and trashy to name him something he'd never be able to spell so we felt kinda bad and decided to change his first name to his middle name and give him another first name now my MIL is like "I don't like the fact that you two are giving him two first names" when my SO politely said "it's plenty people with two first names, you've named your kids already this had nothing to do with what you like" I just walked away because there was nothing else to be said after that..

Answer

I told my daughters name because it's kind of common but not used that much ( Chloe) and I didn't want anyone else to steal it(lol) plus I honestly don't care what anyone has to say. I love the name and that's all that matters.

Answer

I am not telling a soul till its born. Including my husband.

He knows it starts with a b. It's family tradition to name all your kids the same first letter. He has a son already, b name.

It was a big deal to me to have my own letter,  but he wouldn't budge. The best compromise is that I can pick whatever name I want as long as it's a b.

Everyone knows about the letter and have thrown nearly every b name in the book at me, but no one's hit it yet.

Answer

every single darn person asks if we already have names and i cant stand people asking me because i don't  have names!!!!  well i got one  which my lovely husband insists in naming one of the boys after him and everyone tells him he cant do that because the other twin boy is going to ask why didnt he get named after him.  hubby doesn't want middle names either. Uugghhh!!!  so that doesnt make it any frikin easier!!   Fml.   i hate this name picking thing, im not enjoying picking out names for my kids.  sad isnt it.  i dont know what to name them!!! 😞😞😞

Answer

we announced the name at her gender reveal. it made it more official so people are less likely to comment. they comment more when they think you're still deciding.

Answer

We tell everyone. We have picked a name that we know is our little girl's name. No one can change our minds.

Answer

We told our immediate families and prefaced it with "we have picked a name... We love it and once you meet him you will too... So if you don't have anything nice to say about it, don't say anything at all" my MIL said nothing at first but then a few days later came around and now she's calling him by his name ms even buying him personalized things for the nursery. Everyone else will have to wait until he's born to hear the name though!
