    It's actually tradition in my family that names aren't discussed. That way you don't have to listen to peoples own perspectives yanno - and we like surprises.

    I never, ever discussed names with anyone bar my partner....and sometimes my mum.

    Yeah, i don't really like discussing names with anyone...don't want any negative feedback I guess...and I like to surprise everyone too.

    Your names are cool.

    YEEESSSS!! I think DH and I are done having kids now, but just in case that changes in future, I have my 'secret stash' of names on standby and I won't tell anybody else what they are in case they steal them from me! My favourite boy's name is *really* unusual (and tbh I doubt DH would ever let me use it if we did have a boy) and I hang onto it for dear life - it's mine, has been since I was 14 and nobody else can have it!

    I picked my names out many many years ago. And over the years DD's name became more and more popular and she has like the second most common name around!!!!!! But I still adore it, it fits her perfectly and we don't know anyone personally with that name.

    As far as worrying if someone will steal the name, my brother was going to use DD's name (this was before she was born) as his daughter's middle name, and I told him off, so he didn't

    We didn't settle on names till the last minute (DS1 we had boys name picked early eg 20 weeks but were discussing girls names in labour,) (DS2 discussed on way to hospital and finalised!)

    I discuss names with people but never let on what we were actually thinking of using ITMS.

    I know an Alannah she is nearly 5 and sooo cute!!

    We kept names secret until our bubs were born too.

    Your names are lovely, especially Alannah LOL! We just spelt it a bit different for DD
