@Katm558: I love the name Indiana! If we didn't live in Indiana I'd be tempted to use it.
We'll keep our names secret, we've tossed some out and have gotten a little negative feedback. Since our choices are fairly unique we're not concerned about friends stealing them, we just want to keep them to ourselves. (Plus we probably won't be able to choose until our Junebug is here)

I want to keep our baby name a secret, to guard against stealing and also against Judgy McJudgers.

People already for the most part know what name choices my husband and I have in mind, but I plan on keeping it a secret. It gets a little annoying having family ask constantly what we want to name our baby. Not a lot of people are crazy about the boy name I have picked, and I'm still up in the air for girls names.
-
We kept it a secret. We have some family members that are very vocal in their opinions, and we don't really care what they think. It's our child, and we get to name her - if they want to name a child, then get pregnant and have one!
-
Yes. We have 100% decided on our future daugter's name and are very excited about it. I love how it's such a great name but is uncommon enough that I haven't seen ANYONE else mention it when discussing names. I've typed it in the reply box a few times to share, but always end up deleting my comment before I even post it. lol I feel very protective of it and don't plan to share it until she is born (whenever that may be).
On the other hand, I don't feel remotely loath to share our future son's name: Justin Daniel. So there.

Yes we are! we had our boy/girl names picked out before we were even pregnant, but no one knows them! When i named DS, everyone had an opinion on his name, which was really frustrating! We figured this way, no one will tell us they hate her name after she is already born and named that!
-
No, we have several teachers in our families, the last thing I want to hear is something negative about our name. It was hard enough to choose in the first place, I don't want something changing my mind at this point.
My students have been driving me crazy asking every morning, so I gave them two clues- it is the first name of a college mascot, and it is related to a trip to Chicago that we just took. So far, no correct guesses
-
We did. I subscribe to the theory that people are less inclined to be mean about the name after it has actually been given. That takes a certain amount of foot-in-mouth-ness! Our name was quite traditional anyway so I didn't expect backlash. The closest we came to telling was a dear friend who had her baby 2 days before us. We were worried that we would have the same names picked so we told each other the first letter of top choice. Different letter so crises averted!

When we are pregnant, I don't think we will keep the name a secret. I think it is neat when family talks to your tummy and says the babies name or refers to the baby as their name instead of "the baby". Plus, it helps if someone wants to get you a personalized gift. That and I don't think I could keep it secret very long. LOL. DH and I aren't even TTC yet and we already have our favorite names!
