Should I get my family's opinion?
Home » Babies » Picking a Baby Name » Should I get my family's opinion?One of the larger debates among new parents is whether or not to share your name choices with friends or family before the baby is born. There are some points to consider while making this decision. Would you be offended if someone told you what they honestly thought of the name you loved? Would you be comfortable using the name if someone scoffs at it?
People tend to be much more opinionated about your name choices while the mother is still pregnant. Once the baby is born and named, most people have sense enough not to question it out of respect for the child and the parents.
If you think your feelings would be hurt if someone doesn't like the name, it might be best to keep your choices to yourselves until the baby is born. This is especially so if you have decided against using a family name when family names are traditions on either side of family.
