What's in a name? (ventish)

Ok so I am probably overreacting a little bit, but if one more person asks me if we have picked out a name yet, I may explode. When I found out I was pregnant, both H and I decided that we would wait until our DS was born before we named him. We told this to everyone as soon as we told them I was working on our first kid,Yet it seems almost everytime I see people they are asking if we have picked out a name yet. It's not like they don't know the two names we are going to decide between. I know they are just curios, I think the heat is making me crazy. :p

on a side note, I like to ask people why they decided on the names that they did for their kids. Not in a "ugh...why would you name her/him that!?" kind of way, more like a "That's a cool name, what made you decide on it?" way. If someone asked you this, would you find it rude? (I've never been told that It was, but sometimes I get the feeling that it is)

    I never find it rude when people ask why we chose our daughter's name, but most people seem to make some sort of positive sound or response before they go on to ask.

    Every time someone talks to me these days, they ask the same 3 questions:

    1. When are you due?

    2. Is it a boy or a girl?

    3. Do you have a name yet?

    The questions are always in this exact order, and I dread the third one because we are not sharing baby's name with anyone until after he is born. People look at me like I'm crazy when I say that we are keeping it a secret. I just don't want to see the look on people's faces if they don't like the name we picked out, and I don't want to hear their opinions about what the name "should" be!!

     Ugh - I totally know what you mean. We're team green, so by the time they get to question #3, people get so frustrated with us! Like we're keeping all these secrets just to piss them off or something. I've had a few friends say it isn't fair that they don't get to know the sex OR the names...I just keep telling them they'll find out soon enough.
