So far no one has said anything bad about it! </p> <p>We do get a lot of questions on how to pronounce her middle name (Imogen). Everyone asks if it's pronounced Imo-JEAN or Imo-JEN. It's Imo-JEN, in case you were wondering :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-lcomment-on-your-los-name#post-245248 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:10:51 +0000 Mrs. Pen 245248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Even though I wouldn't ever want to name my kid a really popular name - I LOVE Ava, Olivia, Isabella, Paige, Emma Emily - I think that they all sound so beautiful!! </p> <p>People usually say his name is really cute - well when they hear hi s NN which is what we call him 80% of the time. When someone hears his full name they say, "Oh that's cool - where did you get that name?"<br /> His nickname is more loved than his first name I think lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-lcomment-on-your-los-name#post-245205 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 14:56:49 +0000 mamimami 245205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not many people comment about it. Since we're in Mexico, Williams are not that common. When he was a newborn someone asked his name and when we told her she was like, "OH! LIKE WILLIAM LEVY!!" Much cringing ensued. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-lcomment-on-your-los-name#post-245183 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 14:44:03 +0000 polkadots 245183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most people say "oh thats different" Its a good conversational piece, because they usually as how we came up with naming our DD with a name generally used for a male. Both DH and I have gender neutral names, along with both of my parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-lcomment-on-your-los-name#post-245174 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 14:38:21 +0000 Foodnerd81 245174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stargal: Actually, when I read your birth story, my first thought was, 'ooh I like that name.' It's sort of unusual without being weird, yet still classic. </p> <p>I don't have a LO yet, but I have a feeling some of our names will be met with mixed reactions from family. And we don't even like "weird" names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-lcomment-on-your-los-name#post-245168 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 14:34:57 +0000 kml636 245168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so dreading this! We want unique names and I'm going to have to come up with a stock answer for smart mouthed people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-lcomment-on-your-los-name#post-245164 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 14:31:24 +0000 heffalump 245164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot of people will say that they have grandparents with the name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-lcomment-on-your-los-name#post-245162 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 14:30:13 +0000 T.H.O.U. 245162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daughters name kinda sounds like "baby" but with a D and so a lot of people misunderstand us when we tell them her name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-lcomment-on-your-los-name#post-245147 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 14:20:10 +0000 sorrycharlie 245147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha I love watching people backtrack when they're complaining about popular names "like Ava, Olivia, Isabella" and then we say we're naming LO Olivia. Quick, get your foot out of your mouth! :) After that, people say they love it, but seriously! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-lcomment-on-your-los-name#post-245132 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 14:07:56 +0000 LuLu Mom 245132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we tell people her future name (Emerson) they either say "oooh I really like that" or "that's different, how did you come up with that?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-lcomment-on-your-los-name#post-245130 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 14:06:09 +0000 Mrsbells 245130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People also tell me LO's name is so normal, and theres not a lot of normal names among kids anymore. I dont know if thats supposed to be a compliment or not </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-lcomment-on-your-los-name#post-245125 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 14:01:08 +0000 BabyBruins 245125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My little guy has a very traditional, simple, male name. I thought people would think it is boring, but the feedback on his name has been overwhelmingly positive. I think with all the unique and different names out there right now, by going with something rather plain and simple, that ended up being unique and special. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-lcomment-on-your-los-name#post-245117 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 13:58:40 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 245117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! her name is Sienna and we always get either "Oh that's original, we've never heard of it" , "Oh what a beautiful name", "Oh so pretty!"<br /> But then again, I don't think they'd tell us if they didn't like it.<br /> I think people are more opinionated with our sons name (Mavrick) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-lcomment-on-your-los-name#post-245115 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 13:57:36 +0000 BeachMama 245115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, a few people have commented on how older names are making a comeback. Her name is Evelyn. When we first told my parents the name my dad said, "well that's gonna take some getting used to" like it was some crazy name. I think some of our family/friends are thrown off because they don't know what nickname to call her (like Evie), but I just want her to be Evelyn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-lcomment-on-your-los-name#post-245112 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 13:56:20 +0000 mediagirl 245112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Most of our friends have told us they are so glad we picked a "normal" name for her. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-lcomment-on-your-los-name#post-245093 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 13:50:22 +0000 Rubies 245093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People comment on LO's name being a "sweet old lady" name...I like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-lcomment-on-your-los-name#post-245090 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 13:49:33 +0000 stargal 245090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mountainmama: omg i love the name Thea! that is so pretty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-lcomment-on-your-los-name#post-245089 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 13:49:20 +0000 Mrs. Bee 245089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>charlie's name is really common in our neighborhood. we hear it at the playground all the time. it's a classic name that we get compliments on every once in a while. we definitely get more compliments on olive's name though. my parents love her name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-lcomment-on-your-los-name#post-245087 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 13:48:41 +0000 Silva 245087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are trying to conceive now, but have shared our favorite names with a few people. Our favorite girl name is Theodora (with a nickname of Thea). We both love it, and keep coming back to it- but my mom and brother both HATE it.</p> <p>I'm still glad I shared it with them, but its definitely hard to get over their opinion. Mostly I figure its just a polarizing name- you either love it or hate it (my best friend is at least smart enough to tell me she loves it :)) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-lcomment-on-your-los-name#post-245081 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 13:47:37 +0000 regberadaisy 245081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup - they generally love the uniqueness and especially the reasoning behind why we chose it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-lcomment-on-your-los-name#post-245080 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 13:46:44 +0000 stargal 245080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do people comment on your lo's name? People i think, for the most part like his name, a lot say they never heard of it before. a lady the other day called it fancy, that made me laugh.<br /> what about your LO'S name do people generally comment on it? </p>
