Yeah everyone can just kiss my A** if they don't like it. Lol... sorry pregnancy hormones talking. But yeah my hubby picked out her first name and I picked her middle name: Carisma Solyne. He always like the word Charisma but wanted to take the "h" off while I thought Solyne sounded cool and it means love in his language. My parents thought it sounded kinda weird and my dad even asked me,"Why don't you call her Angelina?" lol I was like ok dad. The hubby's side asked us why the name too, but I think they're getting used to it and they know that we're NOT going to change it. I just realized that not everything you do and say in life is gonna please everyone else. Oh well.

I def wot be changing it. I LOVE the name I picked out. And really its not hard to pronounce (Brinn-Lee) not that difficult.

And who cant pronounce Melanie? Really?!? come on people.

I think it is cute. One of my favorite kids ever was named Brynn she was such a gorgeous little girl!! I wanted to use the name Brynn but husband said no right off the bat.

Quoting CaraCruz:“ At first we had picked out Tristan Riley for our little guy.. But no one in the family liked it. They ... [snip!] ... like Sawyer. But she said "he'll be good for great grandma so I wont ever have to use his middle name" ... ok crazy lady.”

Awwww...i like your story of you came about his name...touched my heart...and ALL grandmas are a little crazy...LOL

Quoting Monica♥sMcKenzie:“ I think it is cute. One of my favorite kids ever was named Brynn she was such a gorgeous little girl!! I wanted to use the name Brynn but husband said no right off the bat.”

Thats what we are calling our baby. Bryn will be her nickname. I wanted to name her Bryn but Bryn Reese didnt go together as well as Brynlee Reese.

I named my son Cross- oh my goodness! This time around Im not telling anyone till the baby is born. ( my sister picks some TERRIBLE names and no one says anything to her cause its already the babies name!!!she will never tell a soul till the babies r born) I was almost crying on several occasions from people being so rude!! ( his father is named Christian- so it was my tribute to him with out using the EXACT same name)

Everyone seems to like the name we picked up..or else they aren't saying anything otherwise! LOL

We picked Alexis Renee, and my SIL has already decided to call her Alex, which is fine with us...LOL...I told my husband I want to nickname her Al  

Quoting Mommy2Dmitri:“ Awwww...i like your story of you came about his name...touched my heart...and ALL grandmas are a little crazy...LOL”

Thank you.. I figured it would be a good story to tell him when hes older. He is the first grandchild, first great grandchild and first boy 30 yrs so everyone is really looking forward to him. I just feel bad that my mom won't be here for his birth. (the hormones dont help any at all..)
Yes grandmas are crazy...

Quoting Aynsley's mommy:“ i don't have that problem but everyone wants to call her annie claire when her name is Aysnley Claire. ... [snip!] ... Claire. i tell them no you can call her aynsley or claire. no annie or ann, or anything else. i like the name you picked out”

I wanted to use ainslie! spelled different but said the same. i think it's adorable wtf is their prob?

my bf doesnt like it either so we cant use it  

Quoting Whitney 2008:“ I def wot be changing it. I LOVE the name I picked out. And really its not hard to pronounce (Brinn-Lee) not that difficult. And who cant pronounce Melanie? Really?!? come on people.”

If you love it, then you shouldn't change it for anyone, I know I wouldn't. But yea, it's amazing how many peoplecan manage to mispronounce "Melanie". And I'm talking about people who are born here and only speak English.   They need to pick up "Hooked on Phonics".

AWWWWWWW...WOW....They day he comes will be SOOOOO special...and your momwill be there   she will always be there...even when you are wondering if she is or not....My grandfather died in the same hospital Idelivered my son in and I always felt like he was there

I decided on K'mari Marika Modeste. My name is Kariann and the father's Mario Modeste. my coz said I should spell it Kay-mari. I like K'mari. What do you guys think?

Quoting j0cElYn:“ my sister picks some TERRIBLE names and no one says anything to her cause its already the babies name!!!she will never tell a soul till the babies r born)”

lol ... sounds like my sister-in-law. They named their son "Titus". None of us gave them any grief about it, until they told us that "We named him that because there's no way you can make fun of his name". THEN we started pointing out the many ways we'd already thought of...

It's true that as a baby gets older, they just grow into their name (or the name becomes them).

OP -- your name is awesome! We (hubby)picked the name Olivia Mackenzie. He had my daughter on his side for the "Olivia". I haven't told my parents the name (my dad doesn't even know yet that it's gonna be a girl -- he'd rather not know until "it" is born). Hubby's family lives in Arkansas/Colorado. I don't know if he's told them, but I can't hear them from *here* anyways! ;)
