Our DS is due tomorrow. Sister asked today if we have come up with a name yet, and whilst we weren't going to tell anyone for this reason like we didn't tell anyone DDs name until she was born, I'm not that fussed about it being a secret so I told her.
His name will be Leo Alexander.
Her reaction was exactly this "face like she has just smelt sour milk.... aww (in a pitying way, not cutesy) Leo?... milk face again... I like Alexander..." and then walked off.
I know you will never please everyone with your name choices, I just find it incredibly rude to comment so negatively to someones face on what is a very personal and bloody hard choice for the parents!
What is the worst reaction you have had to your name choices? And how do you deal with the negative comments?
