people should have more respect for the names parents pick

I hate it that people ask what are we naming our son and when we share they make fun of it like idiots. I picked a name and my husband picked the middle name , he picked Maximus which he loves and thinks its it's a strong name. I didn't warm up to  the name at first but I had to respect his choice . well today my brother asked what we were naming our baby and when I said Maximus he laughed and said "oh like gluteus maximus lol" and we both just said "yeah sure like that" smh. Does anyone else get this also? Is there something wrong with that name for reals?

It sounds fine. When people talk about my baby names I tell them it's my baby and I will name it what I want. Then I make a snide comment on how they should have choose a different name for their kid....or I say when they have kids they can name them what they want.

I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN. its so offending!!! any name you choose some one will rhyme it with some thing stupid. My llittle brother is 18 and he asked me what i was calling my baby. and i said im thinking about calling him uriah. and he said oh like pervy sage off naruto. or like urine . :/ some people just have no respect.

I stopped telling people my babies name not because they made fun necessarily but they had an opinion and I was getting to the point of wanting to punch ppl in the face! Lol People really need to respect the fact that u chose a name for whatever reason u did so they need to shut the heck up if they have nothin good to say. Ugh! U already have to deal with enough...don't worry about people like that just keep it to urself if u have to! Good luck mommy :)

We're having a boy & had already decided to name him after my husband & his father-he'll be David John III. Its not my favorite, but it was important to him & its at least a straight forward name. I just hope people don't call him DJ-I hate that! But if we were having a girl, we were planning to keep her name a secret until after she was born because its unusual, but we love it & I didn't want anyone else's opinions or snide comments. We're holding on to it though-in case David get's a sister in a couple years.

People are dumb! I had a name picked out for a girl I love Adalyn and every one is like that name sound mumbled and dumb. But we are having a boy and I'm going crazy becauset husband and I can't decide on a name and everyone and their brother keeps throwing ideas out there and it's driving me nuts! I'm to the point when we do decide on a name I'm not telling a soul cause I'm sure someone will have a comment about it.
