baby name

so we have picked out a name for our little girl and i’m struggling with what to do or feel about people who say it’s a horrible name. we wanted something unique so we went with Rowynn and i’ve had multiple people tell me that that’s only a boys name or that they won’t be calling her that they will call her something else and it makes me just want to explode. i know i shouldn’t care and it’s not their child but it still rubs me the wrong way 😅

i know it’s hard but just take it with a grain of salt we are making our little girl bonnie we both instantly knew we wanted that name after hearing it, we’ve dealt with ppl saying don’t name her that or it’s too old school but as long as you and ur partner loves it forget abt them

People are so rude! Rowynn is a beautiful name, here in Scotland we’d normally spell it Rowan and it can be used for a boy or girl. For anyone who says they’ll call her something else just start calling them something else, see how they like it!

there’s not much u can do to stop it ppl will be people i understand how upsetting it is

i think its a lovely name though for either gender

Rowan is technically the boy spelling while Rowen is technically the girl spelling in Ireland. So I’d definitely say it’s not just for boys. I actually know more girls than boys with the name.

I’m going thru the same thing with my son’s name I just don’t let it bother me cause I’m naming him what I want and I don’t care how they feel

Wow, that's awful. There are plenty of names I wouldn't have picked, but I would never be disrespectful like that!! I would probably respond to them like, "Oh wow, do you realize you said that out loud?" Or "well then, I guess you won't have the pleasure of knowing my sweet girl" or I would just laugh and say "oh, you were serious? Yikes!"

You'll never be able to please people with any baby name you choose. You go simple and you're gonna get grief for not being unique. You go unique and people are going to ask why you had to be so different. Name the baby what you want. I thought I was safe naming our daughter Brielle. Then people called her Brie. And then Brie turned into cheese-butt. And now we just roll with it because the kid hates cheese. You do you girlfriend. ❤️

What’s wrong with people? I’m keeping quiet just because of people’s unwanted opinions. Including my sister’s 🙈

People will get used to it and they'll get over it

So we had people say that with my first. After he was born they called him by his name, no issues. good thing too because if they didn't I wouldn't let them around him. This time around, I decided not to announce the name beforehand. once you name the baby people won't say negative stuff. But if you tell them ahead they feel entitled to give their opinions. At the end of the day there's no single name that will please everyone because everyone has different tastes/likes. Name the baby what you want to name her.

Exactly why we’re not telling family what we’re naming our baby until after birth.

Rowynn is beautiful! I’m not telling my family bc they’re very opinionated and rude, so they’ll find out when baby is here lol. But I’ve been telling friends and my husband’s mom knows
