[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just look at the criticism on dcum for anyone asking for opinions on a name. Keep it to yourself until the baby is born and you've processed the birth certificate forms at the hospital.[/quote]

When you share that you are naming your child XYZ unless you say “we want opinions and aren’t sure” no one will give opinions. My family has zero boundaries and they’ve never given opinions on names.

Also, why share gender but not name? No one cares about your child’s name as much as you and it’s a surprise no matter what. You’re just delaying the surprise because you think people care and no one cares. [/quote]

This wasn't our experience -- see my post above about an in law offering their unsolicited opinion against giving our baby a spouse's maiden name as their middle name.  And that was just one example.  Another of our in laws asked if we could shared the name so they could make a gift with the name on it before the birth.  We politely declined.  They weren't thrilled but never spoke of it again.

We also have friends who decided as a courtesy to check with one set of in laws about using a name from the other set of in laws as their baby's middle name.   The first set of in laws asked if their name could be used too and so now their kid has two middle names.

Trust me, people will offer you their opinions.[/quote]
