being harassed about my baby names?!


I have been having so much trouble with my baby names. Mine and my fiancees family love the names I've chosen. For a boy it is Cebastyan Angel Thomas And Lennon Dakota-Rose for a girl. And the spelling of Cebastyan isn't to be weird it's my grandfather's name and that's how it was spelled. And I'm not naming her after bed linen it's after John Lennon. It's not like I'm naming then ridiculous names like some mothers do like la-a or fernisha. I just don't like names like Brittany Nicole Ashley Tiffany they're just too common.

Yeah when I told my best friend the name we picked for our daughter (violet) she didn't know it was a flower so she now calls her purple. And before that she said it sounds like an 80yr old holocaust survives name. I still haven't gotten over it lol the names you picked are beautiful, and only you and your fiance will know what's right, Babies sort of become their names lol

See I think all those names are beautiful. I guess it's because people like what's in the norm and I like unique names.

People have been on us about our sons name too. I don't pay them any mind because its not their child. They will eventually get use to the name we have chosen and get over it. The baby is yours not theirs so who cares what they think.

Me & my husband have been getting a lot of crap about names we picked too. Were having a girl and her name will be Brynn Lee which ppl thought was okay but if we had a boy his name was going to be Axel which everyone hated. So as long as you guys like it who cares what anyone else thinks

I think they are beautiful names. Personnaly when we told the family the names we chose, the family started bashing the girl name and i just told them straight out that if they keep it up thry will have no connection with us and our baby. It shut them up real fast trust me. But i was ready to go that far. Its really no one elses business anyway so dont worry yourself with it. They wont say s.hit once they see ur baby.

Eh forget 'em. They will get over it eventually. I had people who didn't want me to name my baby Kane, including my mom, but when I stuck with it because it was what my husband and I wanted, they all got used to it and like it now.

Don't let them judge. If they didn't know before baby was born, they wouldn't say a word. They're not the one raising the child. You know the right names. My husband was smart and put me on a gag order to not tell anyone so we wouldn't be hassled about the name we chose. Our baby girl is Cadence Etolia. Most people can't say Etolia (e-toll-ya). It was my great grandmothers name who I was very close to. So let them hate. I like names that are a little different. If they don't, tell them to go have their own baby so they actually have a say.
