i REALLY dont like the name my sister has named her baby

[juliaroberts]

i know people will say its none of my business but i will be watching him when she goes back to work and i really cant imagine myself shouting this name out around tesco's.

is there ever a right time to tell someone the name they have chosen is terrible or is it always best to not say a thing.

i can see his whole life being spoilt by this name (yes it is that bad)

Well, you already know it's none of your beeswax, so no point in saying it again. Oh well. Practise saying it over and over and over, get used to it. Or like Ruby said, come up with a nickname.

What is it, btw?

You'll get used to it, people do in the end.

Well, if 10,000 people on MN have named their child the same thing it can't be that bad. MNetters have very good taste.

Just call him sweetheart or darling all the time.

Give us a clue so we can all guess-I'm bored and there's nothing on TV

Hang on juliaroberts - didn't you call your own son Phinneas? Fine one to talk then!

is it dia- ria

I suppose if asked for your opinion you could say you don't like it, & why. Don't think I would!

But if you haven't been asked then being embarrassed in Tescos NOT good enough excuse to give your unsolicited twopennorth.

I wanted to call DD1 Wing Commander but DW wouldn't let me. Women!

Aardvark?

bit o a pointless thread unless you tell us the name....

Go on.. you know you want to.... go on go on go on go on!!

it begins with a h

Is it common?

If you plan on shouting out round Tesco's, is dn's name 'cleanerstoaisle9please'? If so, I agree, you should tell her now.

You will love your nephew and soon you will just associate the name with him. So get over it

But not until you have told us what it is.
