I haven’t kept baby’s name a secret at any point. She will be named after my grandma but I’ve kinda changed it to make it my own.
I didn’t think I would be bothered about peoples reaction to the name but why do people feel the need to be so obvious about not liking the name? Like at least try pretend 🤣
Baby will be called Dotsie (short for Dorothy) which is know won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but why do you have to be so obvious about it🤦🏻♀️

This is a gorgeous name😍I loved dotty if I was having a girl but we also loved Winnie and everyone hates it! At the end of the day it’s your baby not everyone else’s ❤️

I actually love Dotsie😍😍
Before we chose our boys name i had similar reactions to any and all of my ideas - so now no one knows the name we have chosen🩵
People can be so rude 🙄🙄

I am a firm believer of not sharing the name with anyone but your partner as everyone has an opinion on that 🤦♀️ You have to like the name and no one else. They can keep their opinions to themselves

What a lovely name and beautiful honour to your grandma 🥰
We are having an Iranian inspired name to honour my husband's mixed heritage (it's a beautiful but rarer name and an English one too, between us we have only known 1 person with the name and it's not in the top 100 names in recent years) but somehow when talking baby names my father in law has suggested her name FIRST TIME EACH TIME (plus other names!!) It's kind of spooky but at least we know he and mother in law both like the name 😅 we have had her name known for weeks before we knew gender and have things with her name on but we 100% know husband's dad is going to claim he planted the name idea haha x
