Is this mean?

I want to keep the name of this baby secret until the birth. My reasoning is that with my first I was sixteen my mom was supporting me, she did everything for baby therefore she had the power to decide on baby's name, I mean her opinion. I named dd what my mom liked, out of respect. Well this time is different I am on my own, with no help from anyone. At first I was shooting out names everything my mom shot down, that's gay, that's ugly, they'll get picked on blah blah blah. Well I just let my family know that I have decided on a name (I haven't) and that I will reveal when baby is born, because everyone's opinion stresses me out. Do you think it's mean?

No
It's mean for everyone to be a dick about what you want to name YOUR baby

Nope   Im doing the same thing. My SO and I had trouble even finding a name we both remotely liked so when we found a name we both loved we didn't want our family members trying to change our mind.

Quoting *PeanutButter*:" No It's mean for everyone to be a dick about what you want to name YOUR baby"

This 

No. But my mom hated DD's name, and tried to get us to change it about a hundred times. It didn't work, and we named her what we wanted.

Thank you guys

Smurf that. I hate when people are so anal about what I name MY child.

I am going to do the same thing. With DS I told people which names I liked and everyone felt compelled to give an opinion that I did not ask for. So this time around I tell people I am naming DS "Yankee Doodle" because he is due July 5 and then they leave it alone.... 

Nope. I'm keeping the name and gender a secret this time. I've just told everyone we didn't find out, in reality I've known since 17 weeks

Nope I know a few women who kept it a secret. I also know a few who told people their name choices, only to have friends or family nick the name further down the line! I told work colleagues the names I liked for both genders and one of them was pregnant too, 3 weeks behind me. I had a girl and she had a boy, she also chose the name I had picked out for a boy, even though she had said she didn't like it! Obviously no big deal, I did have a girl and she was free to choose any name she liked anyway, it was just the way she went on about hating it when we were talking. My mother doesn't like DDs name either, kept pestering me to change it before I had her registered but I put my foot down!

I don't think it's mean. We're keeping our son's name a secret too (a couple of people know, but the majority don't).

We didn't tell the name of DS and we won't with this one either. I hate when people think that their opinion on your kid's name is that important...
