If you kept your baby’s name a secret or surprise, when did you announce?

Question

If it wasn’t any of these times, how did you end up announcing?
If you didn’t keep it a secret, or make it a surprise, no need to comment. Just looking for answers from people that did. Thanks!

Answer

I didn’t want to hear the opinions of others because it’s not their baby it’s mine. We announced at birth!

Answer

I’m very protective of babies names lol idk it’s just a little pet peeve of mine knowing what someone would use my babies name even though it doesn’t matter but it matters to me lol! 
I didn’t announce their name until birth!

Answer

I didn't announce till birth. Mainly because we weren't sold on a name and wanted to see what she looked like first

Answer

Her name was picked out while my husband & I were dating lol. I guess we confirmed the name at the gender reveal...which was only like 6 people

Answer

I've waited til all my babies were born to announce their names. Not that I felt like anyone would steal them but I guess I protected my hormones lol . Because its silly but I will do the same with this babe.  I don't even think I will announce until babe is born either . This will be different for me! Well to social media and extended friends and family.  Close relatives will / di know.

Answer

Def plan on keeping mine a secret until birth. Don’t need anyone stealing my baby names or hearing people’s criticism I’ve mentioned names I’ve liked and people are already making comments.

Answer

Not pregnamt yet (but hopefully we'll be soon 🙏) but we're planning on announcing first to close family when we decide on a name, my best friend and my fiancee's very close friends will find out with our families (see above), and everyone else will find out at birth.

Answer

I'm a people pleaser and didn't want to hear people options so we told people once she was here. I had my family worried as they thought it was going to be something out there and crazy. So they were pleasantly surprised.

Answer

We did a slow reveal, I guess - we only told immediate family right away. Then over the next two to three weeks, told other friends and family, and then announced on social media when baby was about 3 weeks old.
