growl.gif Why is it that when you get pregnant everyone wants to know the name, yet doesn't like what you picked and gives their opinion on what they think you should name the baby. I know this is normal and happens to everyone. It is so frustrating to me at times. I am the pregnant one, if you don't like my names, keep it to yourself, it's my baby. As far as pushing your opinion of names on me, you can keep that to yourself too. lol. Can you tell I am hormonal or what! rolling_smile.gif My mom even said if I don't name it what she wants, she won't give me any of the baby stuff she bought. I told her to just go ahead and take it all back then, cuz I am not naming it what she wants. ugh. Honestly I know people mean well but at the same time, my boyfriend and I are having the baby...please be respectful of what we pick.

I got a lot of suggestions, but no one came right out and said they didn't like the name.

I can't believe your Mom said that ohmy.gif -- was she serious?

Aww sweetie, I'm so sorry people are giving you such a hard time...like everyone else has said...name that baby whatever you want! Heck if that means Snickers Fried Pickle...let it be biggrin.gif

That is frustrating. Every time I would mention a name to my mom that we were considering she'd say 'oh don't name her that.' After a while I just quit telling her names.

hug.gif Thanks all for your support. I have been telling a few people, I will name it Curtain Rod if I want. lol. I love the names you came up with . I am still laughing and intend to use them when I am asked. lol.

My mom must not have been too serious, she came over with stuff yesterday. But she knows it gets to me and she will keep pushing.

Thanks Again.

I think that we should give a name depending on astrology combining with nice names from our idols.

we tend to like unusual names. ones you don't hear everyday so, we got a lot of flack for the names we picked out. rolleyes.gif i figured oh well i don't like a lot of names i hear either but ya know what life goes on and i'll name my kid what i want. lol wink.gif

People didnt like what i named my daughter, but f*** them, it will grow on them. as long as you like it, then dont stress! And if i had to name my baby what my mum has suggested for the second one, it'd be a very tormented kid for the rest of its life. no way! biggrin.gif
