Should I care what everyone thinks about the baby names I chose?

Question

I'm expecting my first baby August 22nd. My Husband and I don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet, so we picked a girls name and a boys name. Everyone likes the girls name thta we chose and I'm happy with it too (Madelyn Sharon). BUT, I love the name Beau for a boy. The middle name has to be James because it's my husbands family name, so the name would be Beau James. But it seems that very few people besides me like the name. Including my husband. The other name we have in mind is Jayson James but I had my heart set on Beau from the beginning. Should I go with Jayson because my husband and everyone else likes it?

How important do you think it is what other people think about your choices in baby names?

Answer 1

It is important for your husband to like it too, but its not important for anyone else to like it. I learned after several kids, just to keep my mouth shut about the babys name until they are born. That way I dont have to see or listen to negative responses about it. By the way Madelyn and Beau are both great names. Madelyn was one of my choices for our girl. Good Luck with it.

Answer 2

LOL. Beau James is my nephews name. The James bit for his g'father.

The thing that most recommends Jayson to me is the fact that your husband likes it. If that is a good compromise then go for it. Apart from that as long as his initials don't spell out a swear word or something, don't worry what other people think. This is between you and your husband.

Answer 3

It doesn't really matter too much what other people think - like your parents and in-laws. However, I think that you and your husband should be in agreement on the name. If your husband really doesn't like the name Beau, maybe try and find something else you both like. Or, you could compromise and give your little one two middle names such as Jayson Beau James.

Answer 4

Name your baby what ever you want, it is YOUR baby. This is the exact reason I have kept the name to my upcoming baby a secret. I know I can not please every one with my choice, but it is my choice. I just hope my daughter will be happy with it and that is the only person I am concerned with. Good luck and don't worry when every one sees your beautiful baby they will no longer care what you named him or her.

Oops I should add your husband should like the name too :) Good Luck

Answer 6

3 or 4, i like to pay attention others remarks on names through fact i admire extremely some. i think of it is so arrogant nonetheless while human beings say call your youngster some thing else or hate it, hate is this style of sturdy be conscious. As you mentioned each physique has a private opinion and not each physique will like the names you chosen

Answer 7

I say name it what you want. Its your baby. Who cares what everyone else thinks, once its born no one will even care they will be to wrapped up in the baby anyways. But I know how you feel and that what my own opinion is to my own family.

Answer 8

You shouldn't worry too much about what others think, but remeber that the name you give your child may affect him/her later in life, like if you name him/her 'Jigsaw Puzzle', or something that is equally strange. You can't go wrong with traditional names.
