With my son I told my S/o were not saying anything about his name. We will mention names when they ask, but his name will be kept a secret I don't want to hear anyone telling me they don't like it..not doing it again. My son is named Charlie August..charlie after s/o bestfriend who passed away September of last year and August for the month my s/o was born

I'm with you on that one with my daughter my S/o knew he wanted to name her after his late grandpa jesse..so we knew her name would be Jessie. I had other names picked out but since it meant alot to him i allowed it. And I loved the name, when picking a middle name I decided on May, the month I was born. When his mom asked what we were naming the baby we both said Jessie may, she gave us this look and said mhmm you need to try harder. I immediately for mad, but her son even more. He said try harder? Her name is going to be Jessie may, and if you don't like it to damn bad she's our daughter. She shut up!! And would make fun of it here and there, and now she all of sudden loves the name when other people would say omg!! I love the name..when they ask her what her name is..she says Jessie may all proud after she hated it to begin with..

No everyone talked shit about the names I picked and it made me so mad! I hated it , I literally got to the point where I told everyone they will find out when my son is born

Girl, same... you're not overreacting at all. Before I knew I was having a boy I had names for both genders and my Mil insisted that the names be something else. I flat out told her, if she's not going to respect our name choice on either gender then she can forget about being a grandma to my child. 🤷🏻‍♀️ She has hundreds of other grandchildren from her other sons she's barely a grandmother to and never visits... 🤦🏻‍♀️

I wish she would just get a puppy and name her that instead 😂😂 then I can be left alone

@sassymom I was never going to tell my MiL my babies name because right off the back when she heard I was having a girl she just kept saying " you have to name her Lilliana, you have to name her Lilliana, if I had a girl that's what I wanted to name her, so you just have to name her that"

And I'm just there like... You're still not having a girl tho 🙃 this is my girl, my daughter, I'm the mom.

My husband is no help ofcourse , and let her say whatever she wants and promised her our next daughter will be named that.

When my sister was pregnant with her youngest, she told my mom what she planned to name the baby if she had a girl. My mom hated the name, so she got a puppy and gave her puppy that name (seriously, who does that 😒). So when I was pregnant, I never told the names I picked out until my babies were here and the birth certificates were signed.
