Does anyone else get annoyed...

When people ask about the names you have picked out? I feel like now that we know it's a girl every single person wants to know the name. I don't know why but it annoys me. And I'm not talking about close friends and family and co-workers but the people on my facebook that I went to highschool with that I haven't talked to in 10 years. I almost want to keep it a secret. Anyone else feel this way?

I hate when DHs family asks. The only reason is I have a SIL who is due in June and we have no clue what she is having. If she has a girl I would be pissed if she names her any of my names. So I try not to tell them due to that. I know it seems petty, but I have had names stolen from me in the past.

YES!!!  I used to share with some people but since I do not actually care about their opinion I don't any more.  I usually just say something like "if we ever agree on something I'll let you know"...people usually stop asking after that!

Not really, but I can understand why you would.

Yes! I hate telling my names. I just tell them that we will figure it out some time between now and delivery! That buys you some time!

Thats all I hear from EVERYONE!  and they all want to add their names to the list. . . This is my third girl, think naming  #1 is hard . . .

i hate it! i even have strangers ask me if we have a name picked out. i just want to say why are you even asking? you dont care. ugh.

Thank goodness! I'm so glad it's not just me!

Ugh. Yes! We have our names picked out, but agreed not to tell anyone what they are. Whenever someone asks, we just say that we haven't decided yet.

My sis dealt with people stealing their baby names - first and middle, exact spelling! - and saying it was their dream since they were 10 and had no idea. Yeah right. Ps - that name wasn't heard of when you were 10!! So since we don't know what we're having yet, when people ask we are telling people Ryan for a boy and a girl is so easy for us that we'll have lots to choose from - really, it'll be Brooklyn but not sure on the mn. But I'm so not telling someone and they "steal" my name. I'll name my baby that anyways!!!

Sometimes.  I usually respond with yes we have a name picked out but we are not sharing because we don't want other peoples opinions to "tarnish" the name for us. If they don't like it too bad for them.  They will find out in a few short months anyway.  BTW our families know the names its just really my co-workers that I'm not telling.

Thankfully MH and I are agreed that we will share the gender but NOT the name with anyone.

I think in part, people ask just to have something to ask - when are you due? morning sickness?  boy or girl? names? and don't think anymore abou tit.  But it really annoys me when people will say negative things about the names that were picked out.

I'm not annoyed by it, I just tell them we haven't picked on out yet because the one time I told my friend my name idea, she said it sounded bad. And I don't really give a crap about anyone's opinions so I'll just keep it to myself as long as possible from now on.

Yup, but only b/c we're not revealing his name until he's born. We do have a name picked out, but when asked, I just say that we have it narrowed down to a few...noone's pressed me further than that.?

ladymeg

we have one favorite name that we're planning on using but I don't want to "wear it out" before he's here, so yes I just tell them that we haven't decided yet.. which truthfully we haven't, we've only picked out 1 so far

People haven't bugged us about it yet because we don't know the sex, but I know it's coming. I just plan to lie and say we don't have any ideas yet. We aren't actually picking THE name until after the birth, but I don't even want to tell people our options (which we already have). Once it gets to the point where we logically have to have ideas, I'll just say we're not telling anyone and they can consider waiting to find out an exercise in patience.?

If someone I hadn't talked to in a while asked I'd just explain once, and if they kept asking, I'd ignore them. ?

My Dh and I are debating on telling the names we like due to unwanted opinions and My bestfriend and I use to work together and I told her the middle name I loved and wanted to name my daughter ,the middle name was Reese, and when she found out what she was having everyone at the office asked her what she was consisdering and she told them my middle name. I was shocked she wouldn't even look my direction when she said it. When everyone loved it and asked how she got that name she just shrugged and said,"Oh I have always loved that name." I mean I was mad and all but it wasn't worth all the fighting later on I found out I was pregnant with twin girls but found even better names.

yes! we've always planned on keeping it a secret and now that we definitely know it's a boy we're starting to focus on names. we just found out yesterday and everyone i told today automatically askes, "do you have a name yet?" just let me effin enjoy my news before i stress about names!

mrs.meteowrite

We are keeping it a secret, so I just tell people "We know, but we're keeping it a secret."  Then they spend a whole bunch of time trying to guess or suggesting names.  Then I say, "See, if I'd told you the name, you wouldn't be having all this fun right now."   They don't usually like that answer, but, eh, no big deal.
