Why is this bothering me so much that she keeps saying my babys name?

[~clover~]

I never, ever announced a definate name. No matter how sure I was.
DD1 & DD2 were named before they were born, but we always said we were 'thinking' of this name.

DS was between 3 names & DD3 had no name til the next morning, & it was a completely different one to the only other one we both liked!

Maybe tell her you're having second thoughts about it??

I agree.... tell her you are thinking of a new name... then she won't keep usng it. It's your right to have the special and exclusive use of her name how you wish

here I am being a thread hog, but this topic really has be thinking...... I KNOW your friend isn't being malicious at all, but maybe even say to her, "can you stop publicly saying her name because I'm really excited and look forward to announcing her birth!"

thread hog away hun
she not the easiest person to say that too, other wise i would have already, i thought she might have gotten the hint that when i text her back i say baby, or delete fb status

i wish it didnt bother me, like i said earlier no one has done it before, but its every time, its like its taking the joy out of it, i know it sounds silly

[kimmi]

give me her email address and I'll tel her! I'll just say I'm a friend of yours on FB and I think it's pushy hehehehehehehehe j/k

...I think it is nice she is acknowledging the baby has a name...

If you are happy to tell it to people, and put it out there, then of course people will call the baby by her name - because they are your friends, you have told them she has a name and that is generally what you call people by, their name...

I think if you don't want the name used, you need to stop telling people what it is, and tell her exactly how you feel. It is going to probably make her feel terribly embarrassed or silly, but you need to be honest with her and ask her to stop using it and you will have to explain why.

just lost my reply

i do agree with u Lime, but its only her that says it over and over again, no one else, and i dont mind once or twice, but its all the time, i love telling people what we are going to call her
Hubby says maybe it bothers me cause its her doing it, if it was someone else it probably wouldnt bother me so much

can i blame it on hormones that i feel this silly?
