Care to share?

And also, did you tell people beforehand or is it best to just announce once they're here?

I love January.

BeyoncÃ©?

Please can't you all just name change and spill the beans? I am imagining baby wizadoras.

Of course, yes - unusual is more chance of being recognised!

I am REALLY drawn to the random, quirky names. January, for example - just love it. But I don't know if I/we dare. How do you feel about all the questioning/puzzled looks?

Announced when she arrived, far more fun that way yy to the explaining! Will not post the name(s) as will definitely out me!

If I share I will out myself.

We announced it once she was born. MIL got it wrong for the first few days, and there was a bit of stir, but no one gives it a second thought these days (except when I find threads like this).

DD loves her name. Other DD, with an unusual but slightly more granny-name, wants to rename herself something 'normal'.

I did and no, because I would instantly out myself. It's not very likely that there is anyone else out their with a child with either name, but those two names together - they'd know it's me

I did, though I'd rather not share in case I get recognised. We only told people when she was born and had lots of spelling and explaining to do!
