It's been extremely difficult. I almost slipped and told my best friend this weekend but I kept myself in check. I really want to announce her arrival by using her name for the first time. I think that makes it really special. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-tell-before-your-lo-was-born#post-140125 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:25:50 +0000 Running Elley 140125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't plan on sharing but we still don't know the gender so no guesses yet…I can't wait to hear what people think :) Before we decided to not share (something we've just decided in the last week or so) I told both of our moms which names I like so they'll have somewhere to start :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-tell-before-your-lo-was-born#post-140101 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:20:42 +0000 Arden 140101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't plan on sharing, but it'll be slightly easier since we'll be team green. Actually, we don't plan to pick a name. We have a list of several that we'll choose from once we meet the baby and decide what fits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-tell-before-your-lo-was-born#post-140090 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:18:28 +0000 Rubies 140090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never told people her name until after she was born. No one tried to guess but people wouldn't mind their own business and kept hounding us. Some friends even became upset at us for not sharing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-tell-before-your-lo-was-born#post-140086 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:17:09 +0000 Andrea 140086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, you really haven't told anyone your name??</p> <p>I just told people so no one had to guess. HAHA! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-tell-before-your-lo-was-born#post-140082 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:16:34 +0000 chopsuey 140082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No one tried guessing LO's name. We came up with it a week before she was born. I think we might have told people her middle name.<br /> Middle names are so much easier to think of!<br /> If we have another girl, I've already narrowed her middle name down. </p> <p>If we have a boy, no middle name for him! And I think we have his name set too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-didnt-tell-before-your-lo-was-born#post-140076 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:14:59 +0000 mediagirl 140076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...what did people guess you would name your child?</p> <p>My Mom thinks:<br /> For a first name: my middle name.<br /> For a middle name: my Mom's middle name (which is also my MIL's first name)!</p> <p>We did consider both of those names but....MIL and Mom spell their middle names differently (Ann and Anne). Hubs and I could never have agreed on one or the other.</p> <p>I'm actually pretty impressed with her guess because it was something we threw around for a while. </p>
