I would probably be a stinker about it, and take a picture of him in a onesie with *Junior* across the chest. #JustSayin :P</p> <p>@Reese: Agree! Although I hate to say it, but it probably won't be the last boundary issue. *lesigh* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-cant-call-your-son-that#post-635989 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 08:20:28 +0000 LuLu Mom 635989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never understood why other people think their opinions need to be voiced about someone's child's name. It is none of their business! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-cant-call-your-son-that#post-635900 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 07:40:09 +0000 T.H.O.U. 635900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think thats cute if you want to call him Junior. Plus it distinguishes him from your DH. Once he gets here, you never know what nicknames will stick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-cant-call-your-son-that#post-632601 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 02:33:01 +0000 tororojo 632601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally inappropriate, especially at your shower! People suck sometimes; I'm sorry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-cant-call-your-son-that#post-632391 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 21:44:26 +0000 Reese 632391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow.. some people really don't have any idea of boundaries </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-cant-call-your-son-that#post-632389 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 21:43:03 +0000 MamaCate 632389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How ridiculous! It is your baby so you get to pick the name. I bet in 6 months, theyll all be used to it and ccall him that without a second thought....i hope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-cant-call-your-son-that#post-632372 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 21:36:57 +0000 Boheme 632372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry they were so rude about it! My ILs threw a fit because our baby WON'T be a Junior - they were adamant about it. I will never understand why people butt in the naming process when it isn't their baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-cant-call-your-son-that#post-632315 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 21:05:49 +0000 lomom 632315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pretty much told them I didn't care and DH wouldn't either. He is so excited about having a Junior. I told them they could burst his bubble if they felt the need, but that that's be pretty rotten of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-cant-call-your-son-that#post-632275 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 20:45:12 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 632275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septemberlove: ugh! i hate people with name comments. Junior is cute! And you need a way to differentiate him from your DH! Tell them to shut it! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-cant-call-your-son-that#post-632272 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 20:40:47 +0000 lomom 632272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The most annoying thing to come out of my shower was mymother's relatives telling me what I can and cannot call MY child. My husband and I are naming him Junior (as in, his first, middle, and last names will be identical to my husband's, the Junior suffix added) </p> <p>Their issue isn't with the fact that he will be a Junior but that we refer to him as Junior. </p> <p>My husband prefers it and I'm not arguing with him because it's my preference as well. </p> <p>I told them they could raise the issue with my husband if they wanted to but that he wouldn't give a crap what they thought. </p>
