What do people think of the name you have picked out?

@MelAnnDi I love the name!! Our little girls name is Vayda (Auto correct spelled it Vada in my original post) we got really rude comments at first now people love it and say they never heard it.

My MIL who convinced her daughter not to name her baby the name she had loved forever because she didn't like the NN options. She seriouy said she hated the nn addie. which to me is a more normal nn. she has been asking me constantly if we have any name ideas. Like we havn't even given it any thought yet. I keep telling her that once we decide we will share the name. She then acts like she doesn't care and says the suspense is killing her all sarcastically. So I'm almost tempted to wait until he's born to release it. The way it's going we may not agree on a name until we meet him anyway.

We just had our a/s today and found out we're having a girl, so we haven't even started brainstorming names. When we do, we won't share with anyone.

We are naming our baby Ellie. My Aunt's reaction was, "You're kidding,right?" It honestly made me love the name even more. My child, my decision.

I've only gotten very positive remarks.  We picked Jamison Josiah, for our son.  I've had not so positive for other children, but the children seem to like them (so far) and they are the ones that have to live with it, so I'm glad they approve.

I *love* the name Ellie!
That was on our short list if we were having a girl.
Tell your aunt to shut it.

We're not telling anyone. We haven't pinned down a for sure name yet. We're between Charlotte, Maggie, and Molly. We don't anyone's input or opinions. Apparently I am awful for not spilling the names. Whatevs. I have a feeling we would get a lot of crap for the name Maggie, but if we chose that name when she is born, how could anyone give us crap while looking at a squishy chubby cheeked baby named Maggie? No one would. That's why we wait.

I love your taste in names! Those are some of my favorites!

My MIL is pretty passive aggressive in general and it's no different with the names.
We're naming our son Thomas Jackson. That was my great grandfathers name and he's the greatest man I've ever known.
We're planning on calling baby boy Jack.
She calls him " Baby Jackson, his name for now."
She's upset that we're not using a family name from DH'a side of the family (let's forget about our last name and his grandpa Jack) and is convinced that I've corrupted her son and convinced him to name his child after JFK.
She thinks I'm joking when I say that I really want to name him Clinton but DH refuses.

We're not telling anyone just like we didn't tell with the first. Since DS's ne was attached to an adorable little baby boy an there was turning back once people heard we didn't get one negative comment. I'm sure some people don't like his name and that's fine, I just don't want to hear about it. And especially didn't want to while I was a hormonal pregnant lady! Works well for us...but I think it's a bit easier since we're Team Green so we don't know exactly what our child's name will be either. It would be harder to not slip and say the name if we knew sex I think.

MIL ruined my first girl name (luckily DS1 was a boy, or I think I would have heard about it forever). Since then, not spilling. I get lots of "Oh, you're so difficult," comments. O rly? It's your own fault I'm not sharing. If you wanted to know you could have kept your tacky-ass mouth shut. But you didn't, so get a pair and STFU.

But, seriously, even if I was telling people the names I'm a lot more mature now then I was when I was carrying DS1, so I think I would still be like, "Oh, you hate it. Good to know. Also, IDGAF."

How did she ruin a name for you?

She kept mum about it until I was overdue and then called DH and had a three-hour long rage fest with him (I could hear) about how it was an awful name, she had never heard it before and therefore it must be made up, and how she could never forgive us for burdening a child with that name. DH was rational and made calm, logical rebuttals (he even consulted the SSA name list for statistics, etc), but it wasn't working on the BSC. When I started crying, he basically said that she could GTF over it and that we were naming our child that (if it was a girl) and buh-bye now.

The name was Ophelia. I swear I would have used it on DS1 if he was a girl out of sheer spite. Honestly, I may use it still, but I don't know if it's worth the BSC fallout we would get yet. Still weighing my options.

I love the name Ophelia You should totally user it for a girl.

For reals. It's definitely still a contender. I think I'm going with Matilda for this one (if it's a girl, team green), because I didn't even think of Matilda with my first pregnancy and I love everything about it. But I think Ophelia's ((nn Lia)) number 2. Thanks for the encouragement....God knows I need it dealing with that crazy...
