Sharing Baby's Name, 👍🏼👎🏼?

We are keeping our name to ourselves for exactly the same reasons as you. A lot of people haven’t expected us to share the name so I think it’s quite common xx

Only my mum & best friend know the name we’ve chosen for our baby for this exact reason! I find it so disheartening when people comment on suggested name!
The name we have chosen i mentioned it to my dad (before the name was set in stone) & the reaction I got was “oh no you’re not calling him that!!” I was so angry and upset!! Luckily I got over it and we are definetly calling him it that!
But people can be so judgemental can’t that especially when it is actually nothing to do with them x

I am keeping my babys name to myself. I’m due in Feb but I have said that I am give close family like mum dad and siblings something personalised with his name on for Christmas but not to tell anyone x

I agree people make comments and it puts you off. I find that so irritating! So I am going to be doing the same. Everyone has an opinion on every name don’t they 😩 makes a difficult job even more difficult xx

We haven’t told anyone our baby girls name and don’t plan to until she’s here, our family are being lovely and understanding about it but work colleagues aren’t, especially my boss, she keeps asking me, or asking me questions like “is it old fashion” “is it a common name” ect I’m still standing my ground and not saying anything.

I have friends who told people their chosen name and had negative comments about it and we didn’t want that so decided not to tell anyone as we love the name and have had it picked for a long time x

im getting so fed up of people asking me for my child’s name as if i’m not more focused on trying not to pee every time i sneeze rather than thinking of a name !

We have chose to call our baby girl daisyleah we have told all family members when we did our reveal I wanted to keep it to our self but my other half wanted to tell everyone so we did we havnt had any negative feedback but I did see a few sour faces and thought it's our baby girl and who ever don't like the name will have to get over it x

We are keeping it to ourselves as well until we have made a decision. Whenever people ask, we say we have a list of names and haven't narrowed it down yet. People give their options and I just say that's nice will add to our list 🤣 and then try to change subject

We didn’t tell anyone our son’s name before he was born, and we’ll do the same this time when we decide on a name! I think when you tell people, a lot of them will take it as an invitation to share their opinions on it, and I quite frankly didn’t want to hear it!

We have shared what names we have chosen but not shared the gender with people. I don't care what anyone says about the names we chose because its our baby our choice. I have only had one negative reaction but it was about the name which we had chosen if the baby was a girl which was Sonia Matilda, Sonia is in honour of my late mother so she would have been known by her middle name and would have nicknamed her 'tilly' and my auntie said luckily we will nickname her tilly because their is no way she is calling a child matilda. Personally I think it's a beautiful name and goes lovely with Sonia but it turns out I am having a boy anyway just none of my friends or family know this and will have to wait until he is born to find out.

I didn’t tell anyone my LB’s name until he was registered. Also didn’t let anyone share his face/name on their social media either. His name was the one thing I wanted to keep for just us for as long as possible. I found earlier in the pregnancy that any potential names came with a lot of judgement/opinions and I didn’t want that. I wanted people to celebrate him and his name, not give me their “if it was me…”. Was the best decision I ever made xx

Don’t tell no1, they all have an opinion and try to put you off what you want. Me and my partner have agreed our babies name will be kept to just us, my other two children won’t even know the name

I’m not sharing the name until he’s born. I shared a few names that I liked before I knew the gender and was overwhelmed with everyone’s opinions… mostly criticism.
I’ve not got a nice little list of 5 names that I’m keeping to myself.
No one is going to say something negative ones he’s here.

We are keeping it to ourselves and have said it’s purely to have something nice to announce once he’s born 🫶🏻 don’t feel like you have to justify how you are feeling. Just do you and ignore the rest xx

I’ve shared my name with anyone that has asked. But I always start off by saying “I am happy to share but I’m set on the name and don’t want to hear anything negative, do you still want to know?” Never had a bad comment
