I hate my friend's choice of name. Do I tell her?

Ok. I have a friend who has recently given birth to a beautiful baby boy. She's thinking of calling him Miller and asked me what I think. Do I tell her (in a tactful way)? FWIW I think it's a dreadful name.

Is their last name Harris? If not I probably wouldn’t say anything.

What's it got to do with you?

I think "oh that's different" or"well it wouldn't be my choice " is about the limit of you don't want to piss her off.

As she’s asked, yes tell her.

Nope. The only correct answer is to that question is “how lovely!”

Unless she wants to call her child Satan or something, stay out of it.

Not your business what they call their baby.

Yeah be honest! Unless she has a specific/sentimental reason for the name! My friend hated the name Matilda, but I still went for it, only her opinion!! Xx

Of course not

Hoovermanoeuver · 30/06/2019 21:55

No. Not your baby or your reason.

HermioneMakepeace · 30/06/2019 21:55

I really like. What name would you choose for her DS?

diddlediddle · 30/06/2019 21:55

Definitely not
