A friend told the midwives during labour her choices for a boy and girl (they didn't know the sex), apparently, the midwife said "let's hope you have a girl then".
I was a bit at that.
I remember the midwives coming around the pn ward to ask the names and making comments, but none really negative. I also heard that they like to check something offensive isn't going to be used (that sounds like rubbish reading it back).
What kind of reactions have others had?

The Bounty woman sneered at my son's name.

When I told the midwife we had chosen Daniel & Sophie for our twins she said 'ahhh finally two lovely normal names'

Apparently the two babies delivered before mine were called 'Heavenly' and 'Schmichael' (after Man Utd goalkeeper!!)
