When you told your friends and famiy the name you picked for you baby?

did they wrinkle up their noses and tell you they didnt like it?


What are you stories?

When you told your friends and famiy the name you picked for you baby?
My in-laws absolutely detested it. My sons name is Evan Scott. They kept telling me (every time I saw them) that it was not a good name and that I needed to pick another name. They kept throwing suggestions at me. I stuck to my guns and lo and behold they love him and his name to death!
Reply:my sister did make a funny face and roll her eyes when I told her I picked Aislynn (means a dream) for a girl. But I ended up having twin boys, and she liked both their names.





now, 6 years later, my sis is about to have her 1st baby. I made a funny face when she said Joshua was a name they were thinking of for a boy. She also said Matthew for a boy and Ava for a girl. I'm the only one she told, because she said she didn't want to deal with people's opinions of the name. So everytime someone asks her, she just says "no, we haven't decided yet, will probably wait till we see him/her"
Reply:I don't have kids.
Reply:We have decided to name our little girl Shaylee Marie and boy did we get reactions. LOL Some friends and family thought it was okay and then others would be nice and just try to name our baby for us. It is very frustrating when people think you really want their opinion. LOL
Reply:My mum HATED it, his mum LOVED it!





They both couldnt picture her with any other name...





Shes 3 now, her names Lily
Reply:I have four boys and most everyone loved the names. My ex mother in law hated the first two. She is full blooded Greek (born and raised) She was horrified that I chose Jewish names (Mitchell %26amp; Elliot) for the first two.....lol I didn't even know the origin....I just liked the names!!!





My boys names are:





Mitchell Harrison


Elliot Paulson


Grant Lawson


Tucker Carson

Reply:Well when my daughter choose to name her daughter Nike Chantelle, she was scared so I told my family and her husbands family about her daughters name. And I thought my mom was going to fly threw the roof. She was so mad, and I kept repeating how much it reminded her of a shoe. The rest of the family agreed and kept asking if Nike was a girls name. We just simply explained to her the concept of "Nike the Goddess of Vicotory" But I personally thought it was adorable :]
Reply:I'd tell you my story, but since I don't have one of my own, I'll tell you my brother's story ---





He and my sister-in-law NEVER said ANYTHING about the names they were considering. No one found out until the day my nephew was born and they made the announcement. They also chose to remain in the dark about the baby's gender until his birth day, so we were all 'surprised'.





I agreed completely with the way they handled it. Although, personally, I would choose to know whether the baby was a boy or girl, I'd keep the name considerations private. It keeps negative opinions at bay. When you're expecting, you should only experience good karma.
Reply:I named both my kids 'normal' names, so the family was happy. I made sure that the middle names were after grandparents that had passed


Richard Earl


Gina Margaret
Reply:OMG with every one of my kids I swear NO ONE liked their names until they were born. Not that their names were too unusual or weird....my mother-in-law tried to talk us out of it...my mom told me that it was a dog's name...my sister simply laughed. Now every one tells us how cool our kid's names are. I figure as long as you LOVE it...and it's not going to cause your child emotional distress (meaning you're tried to come up with the worst nickname someone could think of and if it's still not too bad) than I say...Who cares what anyone else thinks?





This time around we're not telling anyone that knows us...that way no one can complain...





We have Reyna for a girl and Ronin for a boy. (are you wrinkling your nose yet?!! LOL)
Reply:Actually I do not have any kids, but a Mom told me what she was going to name her daughter. It was Reagan, and at the time, I did not like it. Well, after the baby was born and I started to care for her, it grew on me. It suits her just fine. Even, though I did not like the name, I did not tell the Mom or make funny faces. Neither should your friends and family, unless it is something horrible and they are trying to protect the baby from years of hell, and being made fun of.
Reply:Well, my mom has been asking all her friends, and they all have completely different opinions. No one can agree on a name. My mom just gets frustrated now.
Reply:I'm still thinking of names because nobody like the ones I came up with; It makes me angry and hurt my feelings sometime. I have to realize that in the end it's up to me no matter what anybody says.
Reply:My husband and I could not agree on a name. We have not found the name we named our child. We were thinking about Jamie for girl. Not one family member said something nice about this name. Nobody liked it


When we change our mind about Jamie, we found Hayley. When we told our family members about Hayley, my family loved it, his family hated it


They got used to the name. My mother in law still not crazy about it, but it fits my daughter
Reply:everyone so far likes our names Sophie Diane and Jacob Christopher....although my mom REALLY wants me to use Emily because that is what she wanted to name me...dad wanted a different name though and I got Stephanie. But she still likes Sophie.
Reply:My Mom loved my daughters name (Adriana). So much infact she almost started crying when I told her that I was pregnanyt and what I was going to name my baby.


She's a little pissed off at me now because I'm not with my daughters dad anymore. Oh well, to bad for her, Im married to another man now and she loves him to death......she'll move on eventually.
Reply:My family liked the different names I had picked out for my baby. They were really supportive in what ever my decision would be. My in-laws on the other hand were a different story. It wasn't that they didn't like the names but that they thought my child had to be named after someone. Every time I mentioned a name my mother-in-law always asked, "who is that after?" Why did she think I had to name my child after someone? It just drove me crazy.
Reply:They said, "Those are totally nardly names. It's so way out there and in your face, man!"





They are:
