Are you going to share your baby's name with family and friends or will you wait until your baby is born?

I'm not sure we'll even choose till the baby is here, and we for sure aren't going to do a u/s just to learn the sex (I'm not a fan of unnecessary testing)

so- we'll likely have 4+ choices to decide from, so nope, we won't be telling many people. I may tell my mom and sister and a few pals, but not many people at all.

I don't know if I want to share the baby's name with anyone either... but more because I am afraid people will talk us out of a name we love LOL everybody will have an opinion as to what the baby's name should or shouldn't be.... I want it to be between my DH and myself....

DH and I will not be telling anyone the name we chose for our baby. We plan on finding out the sex and letting people know that, but we're going to keep the name a secret. We want to find out the sex so we can plan the nursery and clothes and stuff. (I'm a planner LOL) DH's cousin did that and it was great to have a surprise to look forward to.
Plus, like Toni mentioned, I wouldn't want to be talked out of any names that we really loved! Once it's on the birth certificate, it's kinda permanent and no one can change it!!! LOL

I'll let people know what we're naming our child. No one will try to talk us out of what we choose, our families aren't like that (I guess they're weird? lol). Although my MIL did let me know that she's not that fond of the name Juliet, that's ok though because that's not at the top of the list (her sister's exhusbands new daughter is named Juliet, which is why she's not fond of the name).

Well, they already know the names we have picked out (but who knows if they remember them and they aren't really the talk out of it kind of people either) but we aren't finding out the gender for the next baby so we will all get a surprise. I have gender neutral newborn clothes and nursery stuff so I am going to try to stick with that. Our nursery probably won't get done till the baby is here anyways because he/she will sleep in our room at least the first 3 months.

We won't tell anyone the name. I don't know if we'll find out the sex or not. I never wanted to before, but now that we're waiting so long to get pregnant, I can't imagine waiting until the birth to find out what we're having. I like that fact that no one can tell you they don't like the name you have picked after you have the baby. Or at least they can't without sounding like a complete idiot. If they say it before, they're still an idiot, but I think some people feel like they can if you haven't used the name yet.

We are not sharing our final decisions, no! Our families already know some of the names we are considering but they wont know anything for sure until the baby/babies arrive! Can you tell I am secretly hoping for twins? haha Anyways, we will however be finding out the sex and telling people that, which is why the name is a surprise. I didnt want to tell them either but Mike insists on telling them. I wanted to find out the sex and keep that a secret too!
