Can I do this? (name issue)

Well I know this is a tough one however, it usually takes two to name a baby. What if this 15 yo girls DH hates the name Alice? What if his ex-girlfriends name is Alice? What if this 15 yo goes to college and Alice is the name of the girl who is a complete slut and steals her boyfriend? I wouldn't worry about it... I am sure it will cause drama because well... she is 15 and at that age EVERYTHING is a big deal. You are pregnant and she shouldn't even be thinking about children!!

I would just forget everyone else and use your dream name. I'd still use my dream name even if my cousin had used it this year for her 2nd DD. Not that I think she had it in mind, but you never know!
Anyway, who's to say that your sis doesn't have 2/3/4 boys and never gets to use the name! Go for it and don't worry too much.
Crikey, when I think of the names I adored when I was that age....!!!!

Were you like me and planning to have girls named Stormy and Misty LOL??

After having a rough time with getting people's opinions on ds2's name (I wanted to name him Charles, with Charlie for short, but MIL objected strongly and told us how much she HATED Charles because it reminded her of Charles Manson. So my dh decided he didn't like either. Only later did I find out that, oh, in fact, she really likes Charlie, but not Charles....ugh!) we did not tell anyone except our boys the name we picked for ds3, and we plan to do the same with this baby. I don't want other people's ideas to influence our decision.

Every time we told people one of our names before birth we heard nothing but poo about it. The last two times we didn't even make up our minds till the last minute and it was FAB because no one said a word, the baby was already named!
