I'm Currently Feeling: | Honest Opinions Needed My DH and i found out we are having a little boy today and the only name we can agree on is Rocklyn (Rocky or Rocco for short). Our family aren't too keen. I think they feel its way too out there.
Honestly what does everyone else think. Do you have any other suggestions? | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | I couldn't do it because my hormones seem to make me care what other people think. I like names like that. It's a matter of opinion. If you want to call your baby Fishcake, you call your baby Fishcake! Not litterally, but you get the gist. If you both like the name, you want that name, and you're comfortable with that name, screw everyone else! | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | Why don't you and your husband each make a list of names you each individually like...then go through them together and do the process of elimination...and then whatever is left, decide through them.
I like the name, but I'm leaning towards older preppy names for my baby  | | | | Status: Online

I'm Currently Feeling: | We've done this list and this is the only name we're agreeing on at the minute. Maybe i don't want it enough if i care what other people think. I know its unusual but i don't want to pick a stupid name that will effect my child's life and he'll hate it. I really appreciate everyone's honesty. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | I think he'll love it. As will his friends. I think some people will turn their noses up at it because it's different. That's what people do though, turn their noses up at things because they're different. I didn't think "Caitlyn" was all that different untill I told people and I got "Caitlyn, why Caitlyn?" | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | Also, do NOT tell family the names you have picked out. Everyone who has done so seems to regret it. Once that name is on a child, they are much less likely to have negative opinions. My DH and I have a list for a boy and a girl and the only person I have shared the list with is my best friend. | | | | Status: Online

I'm Currently Feeling: | We initially really liked Rocco and had pretty much set on it but sooo many people were negative about it that we changed our minds. Still really like it but after all the stick we got for liking it i couldn't put our LO through it | | | | Status: Offline
