I love that name!!

I've always liked the name Zoey. It means life. How lovely.

I love the name Zoey. Who cares what they think. I personally don't share the baby's name till they are born cause I don't care to hear anyone's opinions.

I love that name!

My aunt, cousin and nan were really bloody spiteful about my daughter's name, what they didn't realise (nor did I), was it was my stepfather's mothers name and he was so chuffed. They really hurt us both! My other cousin was horrified, he went mad at them for being so rude and hateful. Now they pretend they've always loved it, but I will always remember how horrible they were. Bless your heart sweetie :( I would say though, if you want that name, don't back down. I didn't, and it couldn't be more fitting for her! Even hubby wasn't keen, though he was never rude, but he's so glad I persisted and ignored him. xx

Don't take it personally. My family does the same thing with every name I choose. I have a two year old son named Grayson and when I was pregnant with him and first told my parents I was thinking of using that name, they told me it was stupid and said kids would make fun of him and call him Gracie.

Now I've thought of several names for this baby and they do the same thing. My mom suggested a name to me a few weeks ago that I didn't like so I was like "I'm not really a fan of that" and she texted back saying something about me hurting her feelings and I was like "at least I didn't tell you it's a stupid name" ? just rude. And my friend did the same thing a couple of days ago.

I told her we were thinking about using Ezra and she said that's a pretty name. Then I said something about it being for a boy and she made a face and said that's not a boy name. I told her I've heard it in the Bible and in two different tv shows as well as one movie, all four times the name was used on a male. She'd never even heard the name before I said it and she just assumed it was a girl name. She then told me if I named a boy that he would get made fun of. ? that pissed me off because she has 3 kids & I haven't liked ANY of their names but I was never mean to her about it. In fact I never said anything negative about any of them.

People are just ass holes so just ignore them. Use whatever name you want.

Ive dealt with the same. My mom didn't like either of my boys name, and she's very rude. I refuse to tell her the name I have picked out for my baby girl. If she cant be supportive she doesent deserve to know. Conveniently everyone else has always loved the names I picked out. Dont let anyone else bully u into naming key words "YOUR DAUGHTER" something other than what u love. :)

It's your baby. It's up to you and your partner what name you pick and that's really harsh them saying it's an ugly name. Zoey is a lovely name. It's not like you are trying to name her after a fruit or something! Me and my partner have had our baby names picked out for years and if someone didn't like the names we picked well screw them because both me and my partner love the names and it's our baby not theirs.

Ya I'm still not a 100% sure I want to name her Zoey. I just told my family to chill out and I just liked the name. My husband and I like the name but we like other names also. So we might change it but who knows !

Definitely take it with a grain of salt. But may I also say, I think that can be useful as a gauge too when you share? Most of the time in family someone will always disagree with your choice, but if you find that everyone under the sun is grimacing at your name it might be a good idea to give it a second thought lol I love Zoey and all its forms though. I just mention this because last time we really settled on Cordelia for a girl then everyone, and I mean EVERYONE hated it. People we didn't know, ultrasound techs, etc. I told my husband we couldn't do that to our baby so we settled on Aveline instead.

Thanks for all the comments ladies. I just can't believe how mean family can be. This is suppose to be a happy time and they just have to find something negative to say I guess. You all made me feel ALOT better tho so thanks so much! ?

When we announced we were going to name our 1st daughter Molly last year. My husbands Grandmother said "Molly! What a ugly name for a baby!" It hurt like hell because her & I were so close! But now Molly Mae just turn 1 & daily I get comments from people like "what a perfect name!" Although I could never forget the comment I had to eventually forgive it!

Now we found out we're having another girl & I'm a little nervous about picking a name!

I have to dealt with the same experience with my ex n laws my last son was born an his name was jaymes an they made fun of how I spelled it an would call him something else makin fun of his name it was mean!

The thing about names is once you name your child Zoey, they will accept it and not ever think of her as anything else. So don't worry about it. My friend named their kid Brighton and I didn't like it but now that it's his name I'm used to it.

That's what my husband wants to name a girl :) only different spelling. I don't necessarily care for it but it's your child that you get to care for. I loved the name Alexis and that's what I gave my daughter, no one else's opinion mattered.

I think Zoe is a beautiful name. We decided not to share our name choices because we don't want to be judged by others.

That's why I'm not telling anyone baby names until they are born

Girl I totally feel you! Everyone in our family hated my first choice girl name. So if our baby is a girl I decided on Georgiana Harper and made it the middle name

I'm sorry you are experiencing this, people can be so insensitive. This is why so many people wait until their baby is born to tell people the name they've chosen. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, brush it off and stand your ground! It's your baby! You get to name it, and i think it's a beautiful name!

I'm sorry your family isn't being supportive. I like the name Zoey. The only thing that matters is that you and your significant other like the name.

It's just so mean to be saying that name is ugly. They just sounded like bullies and I couldn't help but cry. They probably think I'm over reacting because I'm pregnant but I really think it's not right

Everyone will get used to names, trust me. I named my first boy Daley and my brother still ribs me about it.

My family hates my girl name I've picked. I don't care and I told them that. I'm the one who will be living in the same house and yelling her name when she's in trouble so I better like it lol.
