We arent pregnant yet, but frequently talk about possible baby names for the furture. Every time have ever had an idea of a name and I bring it up to someone (especially my mother
) I hear "eww I dont like that" or "Thats weird", etc etc.
It occurred to me that there is always going to be someone who doesnt like the name. For various reasons (what I am hearing the most is "eww i had a teacher (or friend, or relative, etc etc) that I didnt like that had that name and it ruined it for me" or something to that effect. You cant please everyone, I understand that. But at the same time, I dont want someone''s disapproval to ruin the name for me either. So it made me think, if they hear the name after the baby is born and named that, they cant really say anything.
So my question for you is, did you (or do you plan to) share your selected boy/girl names with people ahead of time? Or did you wait (or are you planning on waiting) to announce the name until after the birth? Just curious...
