How to handle family trying to name our baby - Page 2

I would tell them that you have already picked the name and are keeping it a secret until he birth.

Otherwise they will keep suggesting names and if you do pick a name that is similar that person will end up thinking they picked the name themselves

I am glad I am not the only person in this situation. LOL. I feel kind of like a b*tch for not wanting their help, but I really don't want their help. LOL. I don't know, it's just the way I feel. Hopefully now that I have told them that we aren't telling the names, and now I am going to say that they are already picked, they will just let be. One can hope anyways. LOL

we told everyone that we decided on a name not long after our 20wk scan coz everyone kept butting in!! we hadnt, but didnt take too much longer to decide and since then we have just said 'yes she has a name but u need to wait till shes born'
my mum still tries to get it out of me tho lol. x

I think if you like the name Hana you should go for it! I bet it's stressful trying to please everyone or politely tell family that you don't like their suggestions but I also think you shouldn't disregard a name you liked because your family likes it! Good luck
