oh please

At this point we arent telling anyone else our baby name.
We have only told DHs family and our mates that we visit regularly that pretty much consider LO as a grandchild. He adores thrm. Anywho we have had every kind of response and I just feel like saying SHUT UP! So no more. DH still hasnt picked a middle name. He says I have no imput so I dont need to know lol but he technically picked the first name too.

What do you do when people tell you they dont like your kids name?

I'm not telling people until he is born. I don't care to hear people bitch and moan. People feel the need to say how they feel all the time and it isn't about them.

Very few online and offline like my daughter's name. I just shrug it off. I picked it for myself and her. I love it. I don't care about anyone liking her name.

I don't take anything they say to heart. we picked our names for a reason. no one has ever really picked on our names, but they tease me about the spellings sometimes. it's whatever...

I told them to deal with it. They kept telling me they would call her something else, and I made sure everyone knew they'd be using her name.
We either got a love it or hate it reaction.

I say "well then it's a good thing ok don't had to name him!!"
Actually we don't pick a name for sure until we meet the babies, but we aren't sharing our name list with anyone because I hate hearing the negative comments.

Same with us. Its not even a really out there name or anything. Oh well DHs family knows so we dont need to tell anyone else till she is born. They are just really old fashioned.

my grandma calls my daughter by her middle name, and it doesn't bother me. that is the one name that everyone has problems with... keirstyn.. she can't say it or spell it so she calls her Abbigail

I've never had anyone tell me they didn't like a name we chose after we decided on it. The name we picked for this baby my mom said she hated and it was a terrible name, "please don't name him that" when I told her we were considering it. Once we told her we had decided on it she was all "Oh... no, I think it's a fine name" LOL.

I tell them that unless they pushed him out, it isn't their choice, and their opinion isn't welcome.

How do you pronounce it anyway? I can't make an opinion because I can't get it out lol  

I never had anyone say anything negative about my daughter's names, but if they did, I really wouldn't care. My kids not yours.

We are naming DS David Jr and I've had quite a few family members act disappointed and say they think it's not unique enough or that it doesn't go with the girl's names.

That may be true, but oh well, they don't have to like it or approve.

Ainsley's initials are ARC, so her grandmother wanted to call her Joanie, like Joan of arc.

I was just going to ask this as well lol

Sorry you're dealing with that. ): We had similar problems with my son's name. We chose it years before I got pregnant but people still insisted we change it because of Felix the Cat. Apparently sharing a name with a cartoon cat means you'll be bullied. :/ We didn't listen, though, and I'm so glad we stuck with the name.

Personally I think it's really rude to assume a person care what you think about their name choices. I mean, yeah, if someone wanted an honest opinion about a a name and I didn't like it, I'd politely tell them. But that said, I would never think MY say on it mattered at all. I heard 'Oh, I don't like that name. You can't use it.' a lot. Uhm, no, I don't think this kid is yours at all so you aren't getting to decide this. Heh.
