[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know if it's a superstition per se, but my family doesn't believe in naming children before they're born or doing too much to prepare. I'm always stunned by people who point to their pregnant belly and refer to their fetus by name, or decorate the nursery complete with child's name displayed. [/quote] Jewish tradition[/quote] PP again and we're Jewish. I wasn't sure if it was just my family or a Jewish thing. We also don't share boys' names until the bris. My nephew was unable to have a bris at eight days and I didn't know his name for a couple of weeks. [/quote] I am German and feel similarly -- we also don't celebrate birthday parties under AFTER the actual birthday. I honestly believe in this superstition, I guess as a version of don't count your chickens before they hatch; how can you celebrate something that hasn't yet happened?[/quote]
