    Yep - your baby, your choice!

    That's the reason why we never tell people what names we have chosen and just keep saying that we can't agree on any yet.

    I think you should just stick to the name you like best and ignore what any one says about it.

    Yep, stuff everyone else.... you do what YOU want it's YOUR child

    I'm so sick and tired of people saying to us "so what names have you decided?" and I'm like "umm well we don't talk about names".... I just don't get why people ask!!!
    besides, we know the gender but haven't told anyone so why would we tell them names we like!!!

    I'm over it too. We don't discuss our choices with anyone. If someone asks, DH tells them (with a straight face) we will be calling him Buck or Keefe. No idea where he came up with these names, but it's funny to see the looks on people's faces because they have no idea if he's serious.

    I am sure you will already have read back your original post and realised how ridiculous it is to consider changing your babys name to suit a petty preference of your mum. She is being manipulative whether she realises it or not. Stick with the name that you want. If you really feel that you should compromise then change the spelling to something less traditional.

    Yep...definitely your baby = your pick. Your Mum will get over it within a week and if you change for her you'll probably never forget it!

    Stick to your guns, but you should torture your mum for sure!!

    Tell her its going to be Nicole Hayley, find the name of everyone she hates and throw those around when she is over next time.

    Your baby, your choice!!!! I love the names you chose.

    We aren't telling anyone the name we pick this time. There is always someone who won't agree . BB members are the only people I will be telling .
