She told my sister. It was going to be my sisters girls name had he been a girl. Then my Aunt turned around and used the name for her cat. So frustrating </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-giving-up-your-name#post-2388411 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 20:20:14 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2388411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have done the same. Unless it is completely made up chances are she will come across it on its own if she looks at enough baby name websites. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-giving-up-your-name#post-2388345 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 19:51:55 +0000 youboots 2388345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I resented a friend for loudly deciding that her fave girl name was the one I had told her. She had 2 boys, it was not the name I chose for my daughter. I basically called dibs on Ts name when I found out my SIL was expecting a girl since it is technically a family name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-giving-up-your-name#post-2388297 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 18:44:36 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2388297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not silly! At least if she uses the name you know she didn't "steal" it. Even better, you're not preventing her from using it in case you don't have another after all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-giving-up-your-name#post-2388269 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 17:45:35 +0000 Mrs. D 2388269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not silly at all. We had JUSt had our daughter, and were no where ready to start trying for #2, when my cousin and his wife started talking about names for their second daughter, and were considering my moms name. I had to speak up to VEto, saying we were considering it someday (maybe not now, but still, it's my mom, we should have first choice) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-giving-up-your-name#post-2388264 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 17:36:01 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2388264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's not silly. I would do the same thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-giving-up-your-name#post-2388262 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 17:33:55 +0000 Foodnerd81 2388262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh I would do the same thing! It's not like you are keeping her from ever hearing the name, she can find it on her own if it's meant to be. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-giving-up-your-name#post-2388241 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 17:12:33 +0000 daniellemybelle 2388241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's not silly at all! Better to not share it than for them to use it, and then you wish it was still "yours" - which I have heard of before! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-giving-up-your-name#post-2388161 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 16:24:06 +0000 LuLu Mom 2388161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I have a guilty feeling right now. DH's cousin (who is a close friend, we met at her wedding) is pregnant and team green. She really wants a K name to match her son's. She's struggling with girl names and my favorite girl name could be a K, I didn't share it. I don't even know if we will have another girl but I kept it quiet, and now feel like I should have told her! haha so silly, anyone else do this? </p>
