Are you putting baby's name on his/her nursery wall?

I hate words as decoration. So dumb.

Oh my god, people, it's a child's room -- it's going to be tacky in a year or two anyway! You can try to make it "classy" and then your kid gets some Elmo poster in a coloring book someone gives her as a gift, and before you know it, that's up on the wall. And then some horrid growth chart with Dora on it. And then she finds all the things you hid away before she was born that you didn't like, and she wants to put them on the walls... give it up. OP, if you want to put a name on the wall, just put nails up as place holders now and then actually put up the letters after baby comes. That way ,the actual 'work' is already done.

My DD has her name on the wall. It was a gift, not my choice, but I didn't care. DD LOVES it. She loves that now, at 20 months, she can "read" her name on the wall.

Way harsh, Tai. OP do whatever makes you happy. I don't think personally I'll put her whole name up, but my mom wants to paint a wooden letter of her first initial and put that up on the wall as part of a gallery wall or on the door to her room. I did not get the crafty gene so I'll let her run with that and anything else.

I must know. Full explanation please. What is redneck and tacky and teen-mom and about putting a baby's name on baby room wall? Or are you just trying to sound superior?

I did. White wooden letters, all in lowercase, over crib against a coral wall. If you like it, go for it!

I just wanted to applaud the clueless reference here. That is all.

Yes she is

Done this for 3 of mine and will with the 4th. Not a teen mom, guess I am a redneck.

With my first we changed our mind about the name in the hospital, and with the second it took us two days after he was born to pick between our top two. I need to meet them before I can name them.

There's absolutely zero character stuff in our house.

Made me laugh out loud. Before 6am. Win.

Even Pottery Barn has initials hanging on the wall. Relax people.

I say go for it OP. Can you thumbtack or hang a paper or sheet over the name so your mom can still come in the room?

[Anonymous]

We did it above her crib but only after she was born and home (in case we suddenly decided she didn't look like the name we'd chosen). We also live in California where putting anything on the wall around the crib is potentially dangerous (earthquakes) and the name stencil fills a lot of wall space.

Just wait until the baby is born op. You are overthinking this and also underthinking how truly weird it is to keep family out of the room bc of your decorations.
