i am about to go crazy, me and my husband have been thinking of names, and everytime we think of one, someone is so rude about the name we pick. and to be honest there children names are not what i would pick, i know it is our choice, but i mean there comments are rude and they make jokes about the names we pick, and make bad rimes with it.
i know you are wondering what names,
like
EMMA, Bailey, Hailey, Dixon, .... just to name a few.
and some of the names we pick out is my husbands and my grandfathers name, ahhhhh,
when we pick out a name, and some ask us, we tell them to just to tell them, not to get a opinion, bc it really does not matter but it is so rude what they say, and it is like our family too!!!!!!

Well I don't know what is wrong with those people because those are GOOD names!! Just sounds like a bunch of nasty, ignorant people that you have been talking to. Don't worry about it and name your baby what you like!!!
Congratulations & best wishes for you & baby____ when he/she gets here!!

I am currently 34 weeks pregnant with my 2nd daughter and each time I have known from quite early on what name I am giving my baby. Don't let other peoples opinions matter, the choice is yours because you are the parents and to say your child's name, and know that you have carried on a memory from other family members is lovely. Its what I have done. I believe that this is the reason why a lot of people don't tell or ask friends/relatives what they think about names you are considering, because there will always be some negative feedback. My daughter is Isabel Sheala, and when my baby is born I have chosen Madison Daisy. The middle names is after a parent and a nan. Good luck in YOUR choice. It is nice to share your thoughts but people don't always think before they speak.

My daughter and son-in-law are expecting our first grand-baby April 26. We are very excited about being grandparents. Like yours, it seems as though our family is full of opinionated people, too!! As a result, they have decided that they are going to pick the names for the baby (they opted not to find out ahead of time if it is a boy or a girl) and not tell anyone until after the baby is born and has been named. I don't know why, but it seems as though people are just more rude these days than they ever were. I would suggest that you tell people, when they ask, that you haven't decided on a name yet and let it go at that.

I know exactly what u are talking about. everyone has their own opinions on what they think is a good name or not, all in all ur the mommy and u will be naming ur baby. I actually love the names u have picked out. I agree with some of the people who have said to wait and tell everyone the name u chose after the baby is born. that is a really good idea. I may even do that! Dont let it bother u what people say, ur baby is going to be precious and the name u pick will be perfect!!!! God Bless u and that baby.

People love to give their opinion.. Used to drive me nuts when people would scrunch their nose up at the names that I loved. In the end, the name you choose is completely up to you, and your child will help to define that name as they grow older.
My oldest, Sterling, is a Sterling.. not a James, or a Ryan, or anyone, he's a Sterling..
Bailey, is a Bailey... not a John, or Mark, but a Bailey,
and
Jezika is a Jezika, not a Lisa or Amanda...
The name you pick will be the right one for your little one.. Just tell everyone it's your child, your choice, and if they don't like it, than they can deal...

The best way to avoid that is to not tell anyone the names you have chosen until the baby is born. It is your child, you pick the name you like. People are rude, don't worry. I love the name Emma. Bailey and Hailey are both very pretty too

I have learned after 3 kids , just to not tell anyone the babys name because of that. There is always going to be someone that will say something bad and make rude comments, or just make a face when you tell them the name. With our baby that Im pregnant with now, I try to keep hush about it as much as possible. THey can find out when the baby is born what her name is, and if they dont like it, then too bad. Its not their kid. Try not to let it get to you too much or affect your decision on the names. Which by the way, you mentioned all really nice names. I like them all.

I went through the same thing. We knew taht we would encounter comments so we withheld saying the same of the baby until after he was born. EVEN THEN - after the child was already named - people had a few comments!!! But it was way less than if he hadn't been born yet and people still thought they could change our mind. My advice would be to tell people that you have scrapped all the names you were thinking of, and now you are going to wait until the baby is born to decide. Obviously this is all a lie but it will get them off your back hopefully. Then just use whatever name you damn well please. Names are so personal - I cn't stand when people put their opinion out there. It's a taste thing. You wouldn't tell them to pick out differnt curtains or a different car! People simply have diferetn taste. But wiht baby names they think hey have the right to impose theirs on you. It sucks.

My mom is the same way. I am 30 weeks pregnant with a 3rd boy, she has to comment rudely on almost every single name i like. I actually found one she likes...but do not go by what others like. I just happened to find a name i liked, and suprisingly she does. BUT you can not please everyone, so don't even try. As for the rudeness...if it bothers you, you could tell people next time, "we have a few in mind" and leave it at that, then no one can say anything rude. I hate that so much too!! I finally told my mother she named four of us, so leave me alone to name mine! :-) Good luck!

When I was pregnant with my son my husband and I picked out our names the day we found out. We never changed them and never told a soul what names we had picked out so we didn't have to deal with any of the crap you're dealing with.
I think it's sad that you're being given such a hard time. Choose the name that you both like the best or you'll regret it forever. Choose your name and don't tell anyone until the baby is born.
For the record... I really do like all of the names you mentioned above...they are all very nice. I especially like Emma and Dixon.
Good luck!

I know what you mean! Isn't it funny what some people will say? My girlfriends and I talk about this all the time because people have done this to us too! I love the names you chose. Some of them were on my list but, I had a son. I named him Collin Nicholas and all the younger people loved Collin, all the older people hated that name said they never heard of a name like that. You'll never win. Just pick a name that you and your husband can agree on. (Sometimes that hard enough) :o)
Once the baby is born they will be so beautiful that noone will make fun of them regardless of what their name is! Good luck!!!
