We aren't sharing for this reason, and also because I think it will be a fun surprise for everyone since we will already know the sex ahead of time.
-
We kept the name we picked out a secret till she got here.
-
We kept it the list to ourselves and even after chose a name, we still didn't announce it. I really didn't want to hear any negative/annoying comments and sometimes ppl around us just don't think before speaking.
They all loved her name and even raved about it, but that was when the deal was done and she was already born
-
The first name we considered got ridiculed (mostly by my family)! But the second name we agreed on (which we ended up sticking with), we shared with everyone and my ILs totally claimed that it was their idea. They can be so annoying. I just try to think that they're going senile (they're not) so that I don't let it get to me.

We shared, but I'm not anymore except for HB. When we shared our girl name, my mom and her friend said they hoped it was a boy because they don't like our girl name. Also something about naming 'their' baby something weird. Everyone in their vicinity loved it, so now she's back pedaling and saying its wonderful.
-
We mentioned a few and got some serious negative comments- so when we were stuck between 2 names, we kept them a secret and decided when LO arrived. Then we got to introduce him to it families with his name and it was pretty emotional.
-
We didn't share any names AT ALL. We kept LO's name a secret until he was born...even our parents didn't know.

LOVE this question!!!!
We just found out the sex of the baby but we're keeping it a secret for 2 months to share with family in person at our showers. We're not telling family any of the names we like right now, but probably won't. They know the middle names we like for boys and girls (family names... and MIL is REALLY PISSED we like her ex husband's name for a boy's middle... sorry woman it's my grandpa's name too!)
Anyway, we have told some of our close friends who won't go to our showers the gender. IE, my husband's work friends, and my closest internet friends (LOL... not kidding.) We have told a few of them names we like, but we also know they're not judgey. They've even given great suggestions! If we tell any family/friends names after we reveal gender, we'll be picky about who we share with. I think that's the smartest part... to KNOW who you're sharing with! If your mom will badger you and tell you her HONEST thoughts, then maybe don't tell her, etc!

We've shared our list of potential names with friends and family. A majority have been eh about the hubby's top choice and have chosen another name on our list as their top contendor. However, ultimately, whatever name we choose will be the name, regardless if friends and family like it or not.
-
With DS we told everyone once we were 100% set. We knew that it was his name and nothing anyone said was going to change it. With DD, we've decided that we aren't sharing any names because we can't decide between our top 2 and are waiting until she gets here. We don't want anyone to try and sway is one way or the other
-
We shared the names we were considering with DS, and I hated hearing the responses. People would say, "Oh I know a _____, and I didn't get along with him in elementary school." Some would say, "I like this name better than the other name." If they didn't have a positive comment, I just didn't want to hear it.
With our next LO, I want to keep the name a secret. DH is having a hard time with that and already telling people our choice for a girl's name, even though I'm only 13 weeks along.
