Upset about baby names!

This is the difficulty with sharing names before birth. People always have an opinion on names etc. However, once he's named she won't want to imagine him named anything else! I've not shared many names at all that we've thought of but my mum didn't like the one name my partner and I could agree on and I was like "oh just don't. Just stop right there". She wasn't quite so rude about it though! I like the name Alfie!
This is why i hate people. Its got nothing to do with her! Its your child not hers. If people dont support your choices 🔩 them. I had a similar argument with my other halves nan when she told me that my name choices dont suit her. Told her that shes calling the kid what we call him or she’ll never see him. Same with my uncle who keeps giving us suggestions but then finishing it with ‘you will be calling him that’. Ha. Not today Satan.
I had that. my girl choice name my mum absolutely detested... but loved my boy choice. wen I told her I was having a boy she was so happy cuz she liked the name
Alfie is a gorgeous name! Don't let anyone put you off if your set on it. To be honest it's not really any of her business what you name your baby. We haven't told anyone any names we are thinking off because everyone will always have an opinion or start suggesting names or make the decision harder than it is. Go with whatever feels right!
That’s literally one of the most normal (and lovely! Names you could have chosen. What a weird reaction, oh well she can do one she isn’t even family. X
Alfie is a gorgeous name !!! It’s really cute . I had the same thing happen to me , I mentioned the name I want and literally everyone’s face dropped Unfortunately my husband felt weird naming the name after he saw everyone’s reaction and has decided he doesn’t want it anymore 🥲 But we have now chosen ayden and are not telling any family until baby boy is here !!
I’ve had so many negative comments about the name I’ve chosen for the baby but I can’t imagine baby as anything else! It’s stuck, and it was initially only mentioned as a ‘joke’ by my partner but we fell in love with it x
Alfie is lovely!! It’s your baby, your choice!
Yeahh we're sticking with Alfie regardless of everyone's opinion. My Dad and Grandma have subtly expressed that they're not keen and I don't expect everyone to love it but I certainly wasn't expecting anyone to be downright rude about it! The cheek!
Not her kid not her choice. Obviously Alfie has been a popular name over the years and is a nice name. So ignore the girlfriend. This is the main reason we haven't told anyone the name.
Alfie is a great name! Unfortunately this is exactly the reason why we haven’t shared the name we chose with anyone. Its only between me and my husband. Eventho we would stick with it eitherway its just better way for us, we don’t want any outside opinions to affect how we feel about the name.
We told people because I'm so sick to death of everyone giving me name suggestions every time I see them, it's just easier to tell them all we have a name that we're stuck on and that's it.
Alfie is a lovely name 😍
@Natalie yeah when people ask I say yeah we have a definite name but we aren’t saying it until she’s here and everyones been understanding otherthan my mother at first haha, she really wanted to know, she made peace with it now but she was guessing a lot at the beginning.

Alfie is lovely 😊 however this is exactly why I won't tell anyone our name until they're here. People are much more polite when they know the name is fixed so they can keep their opinions to themselves
Doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks! Alfie’s a lovely name, don’t let anyone else tell you what to name your baby. You know best ❤️❤️
