When you are choosing your baby's name take my advice and DO NOT DO THE FOLLOWING:-

[MamaG]

1. Ask for opinions in RL. You will get "ohhh...thats interesting" and "oh, I once knew an X and hated her"

1. Ask for opinions on MN. You will get "I fucking hate it, its the weirdest most bizarre name EVER"

1. Look on baby name popularity lists. If you like it, call your baby it. My DS's name has shot up in the popularity stakes but its tough as we aren't changing it now!

Fin.

Is that 'Fin' as in 'the end'
or 'Fin' as in 'that's my boy's name'?

End!

Right!

So what's his name then?

End is a very bizarre name

Rule 4 - don't disclose your children's names on MN no matter how old they are

Fin's lovely. Are you Irish?

I thank the good Lord above that I wasn't on MN at any of my choosing-a-name stages.

Well, they're all going to think he's called Fin now, so it doesn't matter

I agree with all your wise advice.
