I have decided that I do not like sharing baby names before the baby is born. It is not that I am a secretive person, or that I like to suprise everyone or anything like that. I find that most everyone is very opinionated on names, myself included and somehow BEFORE the baby is born they feel that they have a right to share their opinion on your choosen name. For example, I remember sharing with my mom that we were going to name our first Kira. She scoffed at me! Somehow she had a slightly skewed idea that somehow Kira was an old girlfriend of Brandon's and could not believe that we would actually name our child after an old girlfriend. (For those of you who don't know my mom, she is VERY opinionated on things like that!!! ;0)) So, anyway, Brandon and I have are seriously considering a name, but after sharing it with a few people who have asked, I don't have the desire to share with anyone else. When I share, it is just because I am excited about the name, etc. I really don't care whether or not everyone likes it. (Sorry if this comes across as high and mighty or something. . . I have been feeling kind of cranky today!) So, anyway, if anyone is wondering about the name, you will just have to wait until the baby is born!!! But I will give you one hint, it is a "K" name. (Bri, I think you will smile when you hear it!)

That's cool. No worries. In the end all that matters is that you both like the name and feel good about it. Who cares what other people think. After all I did name my son Brampton and I got a whole lot of crap. But that didn't stop me!
Names are very personal. I think it should be something you and your spouse should pick and no one else. We didn't share Ernest's name with anyone because he's named after my father and we wanted it to be a suprise. We planned for my dad to be in the delivery room and after (our) Ernest was born my dad asked, "Does he have a name?". I said "His name is Ernest". My dad was so touched, he cried. He was the second person to hold Ernest too. It is a memory I'll never forget :)
That's funny! I hear ya on the name sharing bit. My bro and his wife go for the non-traditional and my parent's don't quite like their choices and it just makes my sis-in law mad. So needless to say they no longer share their names...with my parents :)
