After 20 week scan we told our 6 year old DS that he is having a little sister and we chose a name together, I know some people say it's too early but it helps to give our baby an identity and name, it has certainly made it more 'real' for our DS. Anyway we agreed we would just keep the name between us and told all our parents it's a girl but we would share her name when she is born.
Over at in laws yesterday and they outright asked DS "what's the baby's name then" (even though we had asked them not to do this) and DS just told them. They were like "oh right, hmm" and apparently don't like it. Just disappointed they have just made us feel like the name is crap now.
I think it's partly because DD names come from my Grandparents side. (DS names come from DH side so we thought only fair DD names from my side, will mean a lot to my grandparents and parents).
For what it's worth they are nice, 'normal' names and not too old fashioned or daft or anything.
I wish the in laws had just kept their mouths shut and not made us feel bad about it
