So we told the ILs our girls name choice and they sucked their teeth.....

[bratnav]

So I am just checking we are not totally mad, because we love it (which I know is all that matters really)

Felicity Georgina Rose

Thoughts?

[dizzydixies]

lovely but please for the love of all things sacred do NOT discuss baby name choices with anyone other than yourselves and us on here

always ends in tears

[sweetkitty]

See this is why you should NEVER tell anyone your names before baby is born

Names are lovely

your baby your choice

[cyteen]

it's fine not my style but a classic set of names.

tell the ILs you've changed your minds and are going with Bluetit Kabumbo or something

[dizzydixies]

am speaking from bitter experience here as someone who let her mother ruin both of my girls names for DD1 and DD2

goodness knows what she would have said about DD3's name

[sweetkitty]

x-posts dizzy

[dizzydixies]

Cyteen, I love Bluetit

hi kitty

[bratnav]

I know I know, we were just excited we had reached a decision

[bratnav]

Giggles at 'Bluetit'

My Dad is thrilled as he has always fancied Ms Kendall

[Jojay]

Lovely. Stick to your guns

[dizzydixies]

its lovely to be excited but we here on MN should be your only port of call re babynaming issues until you deliver

you then announce name and those who would have issues with it have to suck it up and be polite otherwise face the wrath of the hormonal/tired new mother protecting over her new cub

[dragonbutter]

I like it.

[strictmumof3]

they are lovely names. I fell into the same trap with my parents. My mum hated the name Emma (why??) but we went with it anyway and for the 1st 2 weeks my mum called her Emily!!!!

My mum had the same opinion of child 3's name too. Don't let them put you off. After a month they will have forgotten and they won't be able to think of your daughter as anything but Felicity.

Be strong....

[bratnav]

How can anyone hate Emma??????

[piscesmoon]

I didn't tell anyone beforehand-we just announced it after they were born. It was a lot simpler and we never asked what people thought, so I have no idea whether they liked them or not.

[warthog]

lovely name (and i usually hate the names on baby name threads)

[screamingabdab]

Yes agree with all the others - don't tell anyone in the real world the name as you'll be shot down in flames.

Not by us, obviously

Those are pretty names, if a bit fussy for my taste. It's worth thinking about how other people will shorten Felicity (they will, even if you don't want them to)

[Twims]

love Georgina

[chequersmate]

I love Felicity and I love Georgina.

I would probably just have Felicity Rose but that's mainly I think because I'm only used to the sole middle name thing.

Really loving Felicity actually, I wonder if DH would go for it...

[Tillyscoutsmum]

Lovely names - very pretty

I agree telling no one is the best option - my mother informed me I couldn't call dd Matilda because it was "cruel" and proceeded to hum Waltzing Matilda every time she saw me throughout my pregnancy

[MmeLindt]

Lovely names, your IL have no taste

Don't speak to anyone about names again. Except us.

[Salleroo]

Lovely names, big mistake saying anything.

My mother begged us not to use the boys name we had chosen, we got a girl.

This time we are keeping our mouths shut.

[frazzledoldbag]

Gorgeous names. Classic and beautiful. Ignore anyone who tells you otherwise!

[ScottishMummy]

completely agree keep schtum about names until baby.cannot please everyone or alternatively some head case will accuse you of stealing "their" name

Doh as if you can steal name

PS love the names

[susiey]

I think your names are great!

we deiberately didn't tell anyone our names especially our sons because it would definitley be controversial!

they can't say anything nasty when the babys here and calles the name!

[Stayingsunnygirl]

I think they are lovely names too. With regard to shortening, the two shortenings I know of for Felicity are Flix or Fliss, both of which I rather like.
