Same story. The name was Thaddeus. But I was in high school and didn't know any better! But obviously it has stuck with me and I still feel badly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-had-someone-ask-you-if-you-like-a-baby-name-and#post-2523697 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 12:47:02 +0000 808love 2523697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: yes, this happened to me exactly!! I feel bad about it and always remember the times I stick my foot in my mouth. But either she is a good pretender, forgives/forgets easily or just loves me because she has never changed her relationship with me. Do you think this person remembers?</p> <p>Also I don't think people love LOs name but DH and I know it is perfect so it has probably grown on people. I'm glad nobody outright told me they don't like it and can't believe I did that to someone (even if they asked). ----Lol! I specifically said the name was too feminine for a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-had-someone-ask-you-if-you-like-a-baby-name-and#post-2523125 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 07:07:05 +0000 YouGotMe 2523125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never been asked however I have asked my one friend, I don't care about anyone else's opinions. I feel like she's always been truthful with me about names she didn't like and I respect her opinions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-had-someone-ask-you-if-you-like-a-baby-name-and#post-2523122 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 07:05:53 +0000 Foodnerd81 2523122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it's happened. I would only say something vaguely negative of they straight up ask if I like it, if they just said, oh we are thinking of Gertrude, I would would say, oh how nice! </p> <p>I have two friends whose kids names I really don't like. Obviously haven't ever said anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-had-someone-ask-you-if-you-like-a-baby-name-and#post-2523116 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 07:01:29 +0000 Anagram 2523116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rarely like any of the current trendy names, so I'm pretty good at just vaguely saying it's nice. Hate all the trendy spellings and made up names. And I think I've had 1 out of about 10 friends in recent years name their kiddo a pre-existing name that I like, so I've had lots of practice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-had-someone-ask-you-if-you-like-a-baby-name-and#post-2523112 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 06:47:07 +0000 Happygal 2523112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would have to be waaaaaaay out there for me to say anything, which has never happened. I always smile and say it's lovely.</p> <p>I have made the mistake of speaking badly about an ex when a friend had just broken up with him. It was awkward when they got back together a month later! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-had-someone-ask-you-if-you-like-a-baby-name-and#post-2523103 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 06:29:42 +0000 Adira 2523103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When my best friend originally told me her daughter's name, I was all "Really??" But since then, the name has really grown on me, and I couldn't imagine her daughter being named anything different! I've told my friend this too, so she knows how I originally felt about the name and how I feel now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-had-someone-ask-you-if-you-like-a-baby-name-and#post-2523094 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 06:11:07 +0000 travellingbee 2523094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well not exactly, but my friend asked me (from the hospital) which name I liked better and I said the one, and an hour later she told me they named him the other. I'm glad I wasn't too emphatic. I really don't like the name they chose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-had-someone-ask-you-if-you-like-a-baby-name-and#post-2523075 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 05:05:37 +0000 mrbee 2523075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...you said no, and then they went ahead and used that name anyway?</p> <p>This happened to me two years ago, and I still regret giving my honest opinion!! Now every time I say her daughter's name, I wonder if my friend is thinking about how the night before she gave birth, I told her (when asked) that I didn't like her daughter's name! Argh... regret. </p>
