I know it's wrong and petty but oh so funny. <br />Your husband cracks me up! I wonder if it was a boy if he'd care more about the name? Can't wait to hear what you name her :-) I bet it will be beautiful.ReLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06408648962903216798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147312878657678801.post-67593833953927686552011-04-05T17:26:46.080-04:002011-04-05T17:26:46.080-04:00I vote to keep the name under wraps.

You don't want people giving you weird looks and saying they hate it and turning you off from your beloved name. <br /><br />Also, we held our two top names until we met our baby and felt like one name just fit perfectly and the other name was totally wrong. <br /><br />And though we had years to think about the perfect name, it still wasn't until driving across the state the morning we met our daughter that we had the two picked out. :) But give us a break - we only had 17 days notice of her birth.Lara Zierke https://www.blogger.com/profile/14678809883294746934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147312878657678801.post-16335150043700503502011-04-04T22:52:11.180-04:002011-04-04T22:52:11.180-04:00Love the hat.

I told it when I was in the mood and didn't when I wasn't.

You just have to be patient with all the comments you are getting and will continue to get until little girl Belcher is born. People mean well. Enjoy the attention while you can because once that beautiful baby is born, all that attention will be lavished on her. Alas, you will be known for many years as your children's mom. The best part of that is the joy you will get out of being your children's mom:)Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03702029497867763770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147312878657678801.post-36240841042469284622011-04-02T10:32:33.920-04:002011-04-02T10:32:33.920-04:00We decided on a name about two months ago and I...We decided on a name about two months ago and I'm fine with telling people in person but I haven't posted anything about it on the internet. I just refer to her as baby girl. We've gotten mixed reviews from people about our name but in the end its our baby!Brave Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140139500391075286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147312878657678801.post-73453073651372755162011-04-01T17:05:40.516-04:002011-04-01T17:05:40.516-04:00We're pretty much kept all 4 of ours a secret,...We're pretty much kept all 4 of ours a secret, mostly because, for some reason, people feel the liberty to tell you all the people they hate/annoy/dislike that have the soon-to-be-child's name...but once it's born, and you've named it, they generally keep their negative comments to themselves...which I much prefer.Elisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16169046988621394543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147312878657678801.post-42466472826872355022011-04-01T15:39:53.532-04:002011-04-01T15:39:53.532-04:00oh my gosh, this is SO funny!!!oh my gosh, this is SO funny!!!Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09371376891365554523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147312878657678801.post-66527688352083645522011-04-01T10:46:14.858-04:002011-04-01T10:46:14.858-04:00Holy moly, I really need to work on the length of ...Holy moly, I really need to work on the length of my comments.

And I would be like, "Actually, I'm not due until May" just to make them feel bad. {But then I would tell them that I was having twins, which would make them feel not as bad.} Seriously, the only thing I'm ever going to say to pregnant women and new moms is, "You look awesome," because it's just so nice to hear. Much nicer than what my mother says every time she sees me now, which is, "You only look four months pregnant today." Gee, thanks, Mom.<br /><br />We started telling people our names when we realized that their opinions wouldn't affect our decision at all -- we also didn't waver when Christian's best friend had a daughter and named her Maggie. Pretty much, we were in a place where we were absolutely sure of our names, so we went ahead and told people, but if you'd like to keep yours a secret, I think you should. I'll wait.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17502995957638811707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147312878657678801.post-72573799869705269582011-04-01T10:23:07.372-04:002011-04-01T10:23:07.372-04:00Secretly public to me.Secretly public to me.Christahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12292286363728591783noreply@blogger.com
