Why is it that everyone asks what your going to name your baby? Like its really any of their business... But then on top of that when you choose a name and start telling ppl it, they always feel entitled to give you their opinion. Again, like it really matters.

My husby and I decided to name our baby boy Ephraim Nathaniel and we constantly get the "Oh, that's interesting." That's jsut a nice way to say they don't like it. I hate that. Just tell me what you think. I'd rather you just be freakin honest. But even if you don't like it, I do and I'm naming my child. Not you.

I've even had some family tell me that they refuse to call my baby Ephraim. That they'll call him Nate. I don't freakin think so!?! You'll call him by his given name. When and if he gets older and decides he wants a nickname then fine but just call him what I name him...augh. I hate ppl.
 
i like your (soon to b) sons name its cute, congrats by the way
omg i hate ppl when they just cant except what your naming a child, its your child call it what you want, thats the first thing we do for our kids is name them....
every1 loved my first daughters name( hannah) then when we had our second (mea-lee) every1 thought she was asian but we liked the spelling and we r having our 3rd in june and calling her ell'lee and no1 seems to b able to except it as they think it isnt a proper name but we like it.
actually we couldnt decide on a name so we let the girls pick it and i think they made a great choice( atleast they got over calling her butterfly or princess) lol

you no what i think if they want to get up during the night for feeds and nappy changing 2-3 times ea night or stay awake for days on end when he is sick then they have the right to call him what they want if not they should get over it and call him by his name
 
I totally agree with you. They should respect you and what you're naming your son and call him by his name. Besides, I HATE nicknames, personally.

The name we chose for our son is pretty common this year, but we chose it because we're naming him after my grandpa on my mom's side of the family. He passed away when she was 9 and it has sentimental meaning to us. BUT it's not his first name we get crap about, it's his first name with the middle name we've chosen. My sister and my best friend were both like "Oh... I don't like that." Um.. ok, I don't really care what YOU like. He's not your son. Get over it. :)

I thank you for making this board, because I wish I could just say that to them. Ugh.

EDIT: The name will be Noah Dean, by the way. (Dean is my boyfriend's middle name.)
 
I think thats why a lot of people just tell people "We haven't decided yet". It should be no ones business but your own - and they really shouldn't be rude like that. There's nothing they can say or do to change your mind - so they should just be nice and supportive regardless of what they actually think. And for what it's worth, I actually quite like that name.

When my sister asks my 2.5 year old niece what she wants to name her baby brother she says "Little sister" haha. She's going to be sorely dissapointed, I think!
