In-laws sharing name - venting

Ugh, I’m so frustrated and just need to vent for a second.

I’ll be 34 weeks on Monday with our baby boy (our first after a history of miscarriage) and my husband and I have narrowed down to two names. I wanted to keep them to ourselves (both because we hadn’t decided yet and because I know how people can be about names), but my husband really wanted to share with close family. I agreed that sharing with our parents and siblings only would be a fair compromise and we told them the names we were considering a few months ago.

Today, however, we found out that my in-laws have been sharing the names with everyone. I’m definitely overreacting (thanks hormones...) but I just feel so devastated. I feel like they have taken away our opportunity to announce and share our sons name however we decide which is something I’ve looked forward to given our history and just with our first child. I feel so petty that I want to change the names entirely just because (we won’t, I’m overreacting, see above).

I know technically we are the ones who told them, but ugh I’m just so mad and disappointed. 😔
