Getting annoyed when I tell people my babys name

Had the new arrival for almost a week now, and everyone happily asks what her name is, then seems to recoil. I am presuming they all think its pretentious (and that I must be a silly little girl who gave my little girl a made up name-even though it is a real name, they just haven't heard it before) and I have to explain where the name came from (this is more difficult to do to passers by). Why do people have to be so judgemental?

It is your choice of name for your child so they should just be happy for you. Do you mind saying what it is though? I am very nosey
