I've picked my baby name, and when I've told a few people, their reaction has been a bit flat. My MIL was even bold enough to tell me no, and that I should call him something beginning with J, like all his cousins.
Does anyone else get an irrational rage when people disagree about their chosen name? He's my baby... I'll do what I want!!!

I named by baby Phoebe. I got a lot of “is that a family name?” Or “are you a huge friends fan” no and yes. Don’t let people steal your joy over your baby or their name!

This is why Im going to keep any ideas quiet, so no one can feel entitled to share an unwanted opinion!! You go with what you want girl 🩷

The cousin thing is absolutely ridiculous. That is your child. Tell her to change the cousins' names to match your lol.

My advice is to tell no one else. Some people will ask, expecting you to tell them, but seriously instead just say that you have a "few ideas" and give no details. Do not listen to your MIL. Idk why MILs think they get a say in anything.

I just made a post similar to this. My girls are going to be named Agatha and Lucinda and my dad straight out said they were stupid. But its our choice and me an my husband love them so poo poo on the haters

Yeah we just didn’t tell anyone 🥲

I don't say the baby name until they are born. The only time I say it out loud is doing the "Starbucks" test

I’ve had 2 babies and I called them Theodore (Theo ) and Charlotte . I didn’t tell anyone until they were both born . Then people don’t comment . It’s your baby and sod everyone else ❤️

I had people hate the name ( + grandparents) before baby born then after they suddenly liked it lol. For my one daughter I get asked if she's named after the place or the road ...NO it actually is a family name lol annoying. My one daughter I always get omg that's a beautiful name so it's annoying when my others there asking if it's after a place...
