Baby name(s) announcements?

Question

Did you announce your baby name(s) to your families or social media? In a way I want to keep it a secret until my babies are born & announce it that way. But we have a lot of babies due this spring/summer in my family & I’m worried someone will use the names lol or what if I announce the names then change my mind before they’re born?! 😂 I’m a mess.

Answer

We prefer to keep it a secret bc people think the name is up for debate and will criticize or suggest names they like better. They usually don’t say sh*t after the baby’s born.

Answer

We told people. We loved our name and if someone didn’t, don’t really care. We’re preggo with #2 and have our names picked out. My mom has already made a few snarky comments. Oh well, if you hate his/her name that much, then don’t see your grandchild 🤷🏻‍♀️ and we’re not even doing weird names. Totally common, normal spelling, easy to pronounce names.

Answer

We let our family/ friends know our short list of boy names, but no one knew( including us 😂) what his name was until he was born. We wanted to wait until we saw what he looked like. Maybe do that so you have “dibs”???

Answer

I did only because I have a family member due a month before me and I wanted to make sure she didn't use the name we picked. I'm glad I told her because she had the same name on her list but took it off after learning we're using the name

Answer

People know the names but I won’t post names until we make the announcement of babes arrival. We also don’t know what we’re having so when we had the baby shower I had two puzzles with the names on each.

Answer

I’ve only been referring to her as “W” on social media. I tried to keep my pregnancy a secret, that didn’t work. Tried to keep her gender a secret, was too excited. So I decided to keep her name secret until she’s born. 😊

Answer

I never announced them on social media and still haven’t to this day and my daughter is almost 2 and my other is 6 weeks.
I only told people who I talk to in person family and close friends but they was told in person.

Answer

We used a nickname around people other then family when I was pregnant. And then announced his name when he was born

Answer

I always keep my babies name a secret til they’re born. Only my husband and I know the name. Not necessarily cause afraid of judgement, but I think it’s fun keeping everyone in suspense, and surprising everyone with the name announcement along with the baby has arrived announcement. Plus, I wouldn’t wanna tell people we changed the name if we happened to once baby is born.  But doubt that will happen. I wouldn’t worry about others “stealing” the name, someone could use the name you like whether you tell them the name or not (kind of a slim chance of that happening unless you pick a real popular name) and if you find it someone else is naming their baby what you wanted, just decide how important it is to you that you don’t use the same name, or just still use the name if it doesn’t matter to you.
