HelpRe: Terrible nickname?
in reply to a message by Bex
This is exactly the reason I never shared our children's sex with my family before they were born, and it never crossed my mind to discuss names with them.

agree
We did share the sex, and there were discussions and suggestions about names, but we never told them what the final choice (actually two choices) were.

A relative of my husband's had twins this past January. I'd seen her at a family gathering,before the birth, and asked her, as others did, if they had chosen names. She said, "Oh, there's a few favourites, but we're not sure yet." which was a polite way of saying"Not telling".
So I didn't, of course, press her!

Well my reasoning was to get them used to it so taht I wouldn't be dealing with a massive backlash when she's born.
For the most part it has worked nicely, my grandparents, brother and friends are very used to the two names and they have grown on them, however my mum.. not so much.
I think for the next baby i'll move overseas and not tell anyone that i'm pregnant.

She'll adjust when baby is here. You don't hold your first grandchild and whinge about the name- she'll marvel at how amazing and brilliant and beautiful and precious she is. In the future, maybe don't share?
Our family mostly make up ridiculous names for babies and tell everyone it is that as a joke. My youngest bro was Chauncey and my nephew was Godfrey haha
