Are you telling your families the name ahead of the birth...?

My dh's and my family are driving us nuts asking us about names, and giving us their (very strong) opinions on any name we say we're thinking about. I am getting really fed up with it.

We haven't been able to decide on a name yet, but I am worried that when we do choose one, if we tell them ahead of the birth they may put pressure on us to change it if they don't like it.

What are others doing? And are your famililes as difficult as ours... (in our case, it's made more complicated by us being a mixed race couple, so trying to find a "compromise" name - how I hate that idea...)

God no! Much harder for them to be opinionated when you say, it's a girl and we've called her xxxx.
That is my plan and I'm sticking to it.
Though I have been using decoys like collision and coming up with amusing porn-star sounding suggestions to keep them on their toes!
