are you going to tell family and friends and ask what they think of the names?
I wouldn't suggest it...I have, but I have found that our mothers in particular and even some friends are very forceful with their opinions.
I wouldn't --- But that's because I KNOW that my mother and I have very different ideas when it comes to names ... And I know so many people who have gotten negative reactions to names they really loved.
It's like people think that because you tell them the name BEFORE the child is born - they have a right to comment on it.
"are you going to tell family and friends and ask what they think of the names?" -- No, DEFINITELY not.
Today I was at my grandmother's house. We've discussed my list, and she's been nice about it. VERY nice. But that's Grammie for you!
My aunt was there and we got talking about names in general. I mentioned how even though I LOVE the name Ruby, I'd never use it (I have a Max - the TV show/books "Max and Ruby" ugh).
She responded by laughing her head off (seriously - head thrown back and all) and said "Oh, Cheri, you CAN'T be serious! That sounds like the ugliest little girl EVER" and then she followed that with:
"So what names are you thinking of?"
um.
yeah.
right.
Needless to say, I didn't discuss any other names with her! Yikes!
