Baby Boy!!!

Posted on 08/06/08, 07:36 pm

I'm currently 20 weeks and 3 days pregnant with my first child. I found out when I was 18 weeks that I was having a boy. Since I had a strong intuition that it was a boy since I was 8 weeks pregnant I had already picked out the name. His name is suppose to be Cashmere but I have been getting a lot of negative comments about the name from some of my husband family which has caused my husband to second guess our sons name. It's also starting to get to me a little bit. They keep calling the name too soft and gay and that it's a girls name. I try my best to ignore it and feel that I should be able to name my child whatever I want and that people shouldn't have an input in it but it is slowly starting to make me feel uncomfortable. I talk to my husband about it and he tells me to ignore it but I just think that when the baby shower comes around with cashmere name everywhere it's gonna make me feel really uncomfortable around his family. Anybody has any advice for me.

  DO NOT let other people tell you what to name your child. I know from experience, that all the pressure does get to you, but this is your child and you have the right to name it what you choose. I liked the name Cashmere since I seen your first post. If you are second guessing it yourself, use it as a middle name instead. Personally I think it's unique and if it's what you want, go with it!! And as far as your husbands family....believe me they get over it pretty quick! LOL

  mgabmt is right! It is your decision along w/your hub what his name will be. Other people have NO say so. Just ignore them (if they don't stop talking just walk away-that is what I do)and don't act upset, after all it is NOT their baby it's yours!!! Enjoy your baby shower and if they start the talk again gently say,"This is my child and I didn't ask for any input so let's just enjoy ourselves"!!!
  By the way, I like tha name Cashmere!!! ;)

  I love the name. Anyhoo, he is your's right, you are the one who carries him for 9 months? I had the same problem from my side of the family b/c I wanted to name my son after his father..they did not understand b/c he is the first boy my side of the family, it's all girls...but I told them that it is our choice and that they had to get use to it..Love ya!
