Hello! So you're due in October? Nice to meet you.

@Maksim's Mom (can't tag because of space) it's not the poll, OP hasn't even introd or participated once (or been back since posting this) and I'm feeling a little snarky about another one-off so soon after the other one.

@jessicamac06 well definitely stop by on the intro thread!
As for name polls, there is a baby names board under "specialty" like @bluejeanbabi05 said. You'll probably get a much better response there.

Yikes, some of the responses made to people posting on the wrong boards or starting discussions the wrong way are so snarky. I'm sure we can help new people on the group in a better way. Don't we have better things to do than to police a baby forum all day? Not everyone feels comfortable introducing themselves with all that personal info.
You don't have to put any personal info in the intro thread. And it's common courtesy to introduce yourself before asking for help.
OP totally gets it and is fine so why you felt the need to white knight I haven't a clue.

I'm glad she understands. I just feel bad for people sometimes when people get called out for making a mistake in a manner that could have been avoided.
I have to agree with Autumnbaby. I'm sure it wasn't intended to sound harsh, but immediately telling someone off for posting in the wrong board does seem a bit harsh. I don't quite understand all the different boards myself yet... mostly because I didn't know where to find them, and that there was a place for them at all.
I'll be 12 weeks tomorrow, so I'm still in the dark about the gender but I think name choosing might be difficult for us so I'm trying to get a head start. And for the record, posting here was an accident. I feel bad and wish I didn't do it because I'm new but hey! I'm learning (: @Autumnbaby
@jessicamac06 love that your thinking ahead with names! So are we. It's not easy finding the perfect name and one we both love. Seems like you are off to a great start with those 3 names. No worries about posting here. Lots of us are still learning where things go. see you around!

They didn't "tell her off" for posting on the wrong board. They were off put because they don't know her and wanted an introduction first.
Imagine instead this is a room full of women, and a stranger just busted in and says, "DO YOU LIKE THE NAME RORY?!" IRL, you'd be like, "....Uhhhhh, do we know you? I guess it's nice?!"
I agree with @autumnbaby. Not everyone spends their day hanging out on baby boards so how would the know the "rules." No reason to be rude to the original poster.

BTW, I love the name Rory.
Because it's literally at the top of the page inside the "READ THIS FIRST" thread.

I get the whole intro thing but you have to admit there's a nicer way to say what was said. I'm all for rules and regulations but this is a baby forum and many people's emotions are already off due to hormones!

@Maskim's Mom I don't think anyone was being super rude or snarky to the point of hurting OP's feelings. She never implied that her feelings were hurt...so I'm not really sure why everyone came jumping to the rescue.
October 2017 May siggy challenge - Parenting fails
Can we please let this post die, for the OP's sake and because we've already had this discussion 85841849 times before, and it's not cool to call each other bullies and question parenting abilities.
In all honesty, just my opinion, I wouldn't pick any of these names. Luna reminds me of the chipmunk Chrissy Teigen and I think it's going to be a more common name. Rory reminds me of Gilmore Girls and when I hear Layla I think of Star Wars. When I picked my son's name, it was a feeling that it was right. We and people we know have never heard that name before, which was a bonus as I wanted it to be as rare as possible. During my pregnancy I was convinced I wanted him to be called Milo. Then that drink called Milo popped up and ruined it for me as well as that we were just not feeling it. You got plenty of time to choose, don't stress
Re: Are these names as cute as I think they are?
I heart YNAB

That or she got us mixed up with the baby names board.
PSA for any Oct ladies who haven't found that board: it's under "specialty" and it's a GEM
