Fake names for nosey people?

[Usanayme]

Did you come up with a fake name to give to the nosey parkers who wouldn't stop asking about the name?

My cousin went with Dave and Damien

I'm sorry, but I fail to see how "Oh, have you thought of any names yet?" is in any way a nosey question.

Derek- Darcy Donovan

We used to joke DS would be Oberon because he was due on midsummer night

MyWhatICallNameChange one of our bumps was Ermintrude for a while.

DC 3 was Rioja or Bud at work. Our office was in a town where lots of parents chose yoonique or trendy names and the first Chardonnay's were starting school.

My DM is a retired teacher and her first initial is E, she always used to tell her pupils that her first name was Ermintrude. I never seem to have an opportunity to use a similar ruse though.

We have had fun for years though "choosing" mad names from TV/books/friends of friends for our hypothetical future DCs - my favourites were Honoria and Leicester (from Bleak House). We lost several pregnancies before we adopted our two DCs and the first one will always be Nigel and/or Delia (from Shameless).

We did - our stock answers were "Gavin for a boy, Stacey for a girl".

Dulcie-Maude

We're calling unborn DD Frogmella at the moment. We have chosen a real name we like but are keeping it to ourselves because we don't want to hear others' opinions in advance and because we just might look at her after she is born and feel our chosen name isn't right.

We did the same with DS, using a completely Improbable name (not British and sounded ridiculous with our surname).

BIL and SIL recently had a baby and they told everyone the off-the-wall name they were thinking of in advance. They got a lot of push back from the upset grandparents and it caused a bit of tension, although they didn't bow to pressure and stuck with their choice in the end. They'd have saved a lot of grief if they'd just presented a fait accompli!

ChristmasSeacow this was my thinking too, it's one thing to be told the name you like is shit (don't mind this so much, or else I wouldn't be on here) but another to feel actively pressured into changing it

I like Frogmella nn Smella

My DM was digging around to find out our names. I left out a baby name book with highlighted names that I knew she'd hate. She never mentioned looking in the book, but I knew she wouldn't be able to resist it. When we eventually had DS1 she was thrilled that we didn't use any of the 'silly' names from the book.

My cousin went with Mungo Barrington.

We went with "Nigel...after Nigel Farage". Was a lot of fun with people who didn't know if we were serious or not.

DH and I plan to start trying for our first baby soon - if we get pregnant with twins, he wants to see how long we can convince the grandparents they're going to be called Shaniqua and Maude

No.

We never found out the sex in either pregnancy so i was happy to say x for a boy or y for a girl. In not sure what the big deal is tbh.

If you want to keep it a secret just say you haven't decided yet.

I also give Ermintrude as a fake name, think it's from the Magic Roundabout.

We tell everyone the baby is going to be Montgomery
