duh

When we tell people what we're naming our daughter (Kyla) and they respond with a "is that really what you're naming her?" No, it's all a lie...

    I honestly love that name for a girl! If we had a girl I wanted to name her that. That's also one of my friend's names, although it's spelled differently.

    We have had some similar reactions to what we are naming our boy... what kind of name is Axel? Are you really naming him that?.... mmm yep, we are, thanks.

    Axel is my great grandfather's name! I love it, it was my top three but SO vetoed it.

    I know a Kyla. I like it and personally don't see anything wrong with it. People are just judgmental sometimes. But it's definitely not something I'd side-eye.

    Kyla isn't bad at all. Especially with all the made up/crazy spellings of names people use now. 

    I kid you not, I knew of a girl being named Tarantula. (Tare-En-Two-Lah) No. It's a damn spider ffs.

    Axel is my friend's son's name! It fits him well!

    I get that all the time since we announced our daughter's name will be Harley. I don't even bring it up around my mom anymore cause I'm tired of getting angry.

    One of the reasons we keep the name to only DH and myself until birth. People tend to keep their opinion to themselves once they are born but for some reason think they can say whatever they want if the baby isn't here yet.

    We're the same. We've chosen names (Team Green) that we love. They are legit names but won't be to everybody's taste, so we're keeping them to ourselves until birth.
    If you tell people when pregnant, they will give you their honest opinions because there is still plenty of time to change the name.

    Precisely why we are keeping the name of our tiny human under wraps until the baby shower.... I don't want anyone's opinion. My SIL is going crazy not knowing but I don't want the next 16 weeks to be spent defending that this is our child and their opinions are irrelevant. I'm way to emotional for all of that lol

    The same thing happened to me. We chose a name we really liked and my mother, although unintentionally, ruined the name for me. We've picked another name that I love so much I haven't told anyone because it would really hurt my feelings if anyone said anything negative about it.

    We are also team green and have 2 names picked out. We are not sharing with anyone. We both have very opinionated families and there will never be a name that everyone likes right off the bat. Once the name is on the birth certificate, then they will just have to deal with it!

    This ^
    You will never please everyone and all the matters is what you and your spouse agree on. If others don't like your name choice oh well it's not their child and that reason alone should be why they keep their opinions to themselves.

    ETA: I know a Kyla as well as an Axel and think both names are great.

    Everybody I have told our sons name to either said "really?" Or "I love it!" And when they say really I just look at them and tell them yes that's really his name regardless of your opinion.. Next baby I'm keeping my names too myself!!! Nobody but my husband and I will know!!!! I also think Axel is an awesome name!! It was on our list :) and I have a close friend named Kyla and I think it's a great name..

    So far the only ones we've told the name to are parents and my best friend. Others will find out thru the shower invitation. That way we won't have to hear the initial reaction and some might want to get stuff with his name on it for the shower.

    I hate those people! Whether in real life or on a board here, if I didn't Ask for an opinion of the name, don't give it! 1 friend who had this happen stopped more negativity by saying "it's after ________, who just passed away" (even though that wasn't the case). It shut them up.

    I am all for waiting for my daughter to be born to announce the name - it does mean I won't get anything personalized for our shower,but that's not a big deal for me. I have a code name (Lorelai) which we use since my husband won't let me use that one.

    Good luck with the stupid people. Kyla is a great name!

    And this is why we don't tell anyone our names until the baby is born. You can't say anything bad about the name choice once you're holding the baby.

    This, exactly this

    OK posting again. I keep names secret too, I have only discussed new baby name with the babys dad and my mom. I don't think the babys dad will tell anyone either. We haven't decided on a boys name yet but I will probably run that name by my mom too and that's it!

    My DH and I think it's fun to toy with my mom. She tries so hard to get the name out of us that it has become a fun game for us. My DH had her going we were going to name our first kid Fwedwick :).

    My first son we chose to name after my dad and that was why we started our trend of not saying it until they were born. It made it that much more special :)

    We're naming our daughter Lyric Ashly. My aunt sat back&said "I don't like it. It sounds like a porn star name." Which pissed me off.... People so far have loved the choice we made about the name. Daddy chose the spelling I chose the name. We wanted our kids to have unique names. We both have names that were super common at school. Got very confusing.
