Have found my IN LOVE name!

**LittleB+1** · June 28th, 2010, 01:45 PM

Hi BB's, I am nearly JUST pregnant with my 2nd bub (fingers crossed) and have found my favourite name in the whole wide world but... alot of people I have spoken to dont like it (eg. my mum

). So I am feeling a little disheartened and wanted your thoughts...

the name is Austin for a boy. I would probably team it with a family name so it would be
Austin William M******

What do you think?

i love austin! so long as ur surname is martin you'll be right!
stuff what everyone thinks, if u like then use it! everyone will get used to it. my mum hated the name we picked for DD2 and hates the name we have picked if this ones a boy, but ah well to her!

I like Austin

Only ever met one so far though!

I like it too.

As the ladies have said if you like it, then stuff everyone else. Our baby names were a secret so that we wouldn't get any comments.
Nothin' worse then negative comments about a baby name(s) that you love. Names are hard enough to choose to begin with, without those type comments.

Congrats on the pregnancy too.

I love it but most importantly so do you

its your baby after all

**indie24** · June 28th, 2010, 04:54 PM

I love it. FWIW my dad didn't like DD name and had no qualms about telling me even after she was born. But now he doesn't mention it at all

I think thats a great name! At the end of the day, YOU'RE the one who has to live with it, not your Mum or anyone else - its up to you and your DP

I love it! to hell with what anyone else thinks though. when i told my mum we liked the name Grace for a girl she told me she ''hated it and it wasnt even a biblical name''. she liked it once we had actually had her and i told her thats what wed called her...although she did keep asking 'what does it actually mean' ? i think is a beautiful name!!

Love it!! I have a nephew called Austin

**Rowellen** · June 28th, 2010, 02:05 PM

I love it! In fact it is on my boys name list but my cousin recently had a baby & used it. Well my DH wouldn't let me use it anyway so I'm glad someone in the family has. There will always be people who don't like the name you choose. A good thing I think as the world would be boring if everyone had the same name.

If you like it use it!!! That was why I didnt tell anyone our names before hand!!!!

Its nice as someone else said as long as surname not martain then no issues!

If you like it use it!!! That was why I didnt tell anyone our names before hand!!!!

... i'm such a crusader of DO NOT TELL your IRL friends & family, it can run such a risk in people putting you off or having you in doubt because of their negative comments (pfffttt to them i say) !!

Until this day not one relo on DP's side of the family has made any comment whatsoever of our DD's name ... which tells me some or most don't like it so thankfully i never asked for their comments ... on the other hand i have 'some' of my own family and friends tell me they love her name !!

.... May i say i really like Austin William, it's a really strong classical name

I like it!

TBH this is why i told DH that we are NOT telling ppl the name of this baby until after she makes her arrival. it was gutting when we told people we were calling DD1 Leila and they would harp on about what an awful name it was. once that baby is born they all shut-up and i guess got over it lol!
