Just found out I'm having a girl, I plan on using the name Niamh but when I was pregnant with my DS and people asked what name I would've used if he was a she and I told them 'Niamh' I was greeted with the usual "oh no" or the screwing up of faces which meant they thought it was crap Hmm.

Love the name Niamh. People always have an opinion. When I was pregnant with dc3 we had a boys name but didn't tell anyone cos I didn't want to hear whether anyone liked it or not. Even when dc3 was born and was a girl, we decided on a name and told everyone and my MIL or FIL (can't remember which) texted back, what about Katy? Er no, we just told you her name!! It's your baby, call her what name you like

A friend recently named her daughter Niamh. It's a lovely name.

Niamh was on my shortlist. It's a lovely name, if you like it use it.

If you like it then go for it.

My friend got the same response when she said Niamh. She still named her Niamh.

If you like it that's all that matters, stuff everyone else

It's a lovely name. Ignore them! Don't tell anyone what you're thinking! It's a nightmare - everyone has an opinion till the baby is here and they love it and the name xox
