Whatever name we decide on, someone close to us and the baby doesn't like it....

So, first we decided on Juno...several people's response was, "you can't call a girl/human Juno". And yes, it's sad but it matters to me because these people are very close to me and will be to the bubba.

Then I was convinced on Tabitha, it's cute, I like the nicknames even if they are cat like (what's wrong with cats anyway?), but Grandma made a massive scene..."it's a cats name!!!! it's horrendous, oh no no no!" DH also not keen so I abandoned that one.

Then I thought, maybe Lara - success, everyone likes it.........except DH! Oh crap. Moving on....

Matilda, a name everyone reacted well to, including DH. But then I discovered my Aunt (who again I am very close to) doesn't like it. She doesn't like the nicknames for it either, and now I am thinking, 'hmm, I'm not keen on the nicknames - Tilly/Tilda/Mattie'.

Maybe Juliet? Love it, but DH doesn't.

Yes, I'm a pleb. It shouldn't matter what others think. Tell me what a knob I am.

There's not such thing as a name everyone likes. Don't tell them.
