One of the first things everyone wants to know when they find out you're pregnant is
a) will you find out if it is a boy or girl? nope. as long as it's not ginger I don't care.
b) what names are you thinking of?
now, the problem with revealing your chosen names to people is you open yourself up to peoples opinions on said name, and no offense pal, but nobody around here cares about your opinions on my future baby name!!!!
I never tell people what I think of their shit names, to their face anyway.
Starr: future prostiute
Coco: that's what you name a chihuahua
Polo: what's the middle name gonna be? Shirt.
That's why i'm not telling anyone my chosen baby names, because someone is going to have some negative reference about it, like some fat chick in school called Amy who pulled your hair and pushed you into the dirt - which is why I could never name a child of mine Amy.
I have to wonder though, what sort of names are going to be all the rage this year? there was a epidemic of Lord of the Rings names in the mid 2000's, and whilst some of them are quite nice, there is no excuse for calling some kid Elrond, just think of all the extra money you'll have to save up to pay for the therapy they need in their mid to late teens.
I predict these names popping up in kindergartens all over the western world in 5 years time.
Twilight Names; Edward, Jacob, Bella... you could do a two part hyphenate .. "this is my daughter BJ".. (Bella-Jacob)
Hobbit Names: Bilbo
50 Shades of Grey Names: Blip, Christian, Anastasia.
This is why i'm naming my child after all the artistic greats, with no negative connotations to anyone.
"this is my child Michael Jackson Cher Madonna Britney Whitney Tim Burton Roald Dahl Wes Anderson Barrett"
Actually Burton Barrett had a ring about it.
