Choosing a baby's name

hey you should give your sisters and her husbnad do the honor to chose names for there child only you could make was to suggest, i just think thats the proper, but on my part my niece we named it not just me but also my other sisters, we were the one who choses her name, but with consent with my sister, or until they approves it!!good thing they liked it too!!happy lotting...

wow... i wont let that happen to me. this are my children and i have the right to pick the name i wanted for them. i wont allow someoen to choose a name for my off springs. the name of my children are Justice now 17, Jury now 16, Judge 14 and Judiciary 12. i am the one who picked my childrens name and so as my other relatives they are the one who picked their childrens name. in my view yes you are offending their rights, if you want to choose names for their children then it is okay to give them suggestions but not force them on what name you wanted for their own children.

My husband and I chose our daughters name. Many family members gave us there imput. We didn't know if we were having a boy or girl. We did the "suprise" thing. We had picked out Chase Edward for a boy. Chase being a "new" name and Edward being my husbands middle name. For a girl we had originally picked out Brooke but later decided that was too common. So we picked out a family name Luann. My great grandfather was Lou and my great grand mother was Ann Marie. So we put the names together to get Luann. I am SOO very happy we ended up with Luann as a name - it fits her prefectly. Some family memebers call her Lulu others call her Lu. Her cousin calls her Luie! No offence but I wouldn't let any one else name my child! That's MY right as the parent! I don't know why your family thinks its okay for you to name there kids but its not. You have to let them name there own children. Giving an opinion is fine but ultimatly it should be up to the parents!

We recently did this. My hubby and I are expecting our son via c-section Dec 10. My hubby picked several names. Then we ran the names past family members on both sides. The one most family members liked is the one we went with. But we chose the name. Yours is a different tradition I guess. But I couldn't conceive of letting anyone but my hubby and myself having final say in our childs name. Suggestions are fine. But I think the decision should be left to the parents. Each family does it differently.

well, if you are going to submit a baby it sould be unique. May name is not that unique because it ws my aunti who have cosen his/her name. I prefer old name for the name of my babies in the future.

Hello. May I ask, why are you the one to choose the names? Is it due to tradition/custom? In my family, I have chosen a name for my cousin, and my God-daughter, Kamerin. However, these names were selected based on the parent's request for suggestion. I have named my owns son's, what I wanted to name them, even if I did ask suggestions, or anyone offered names, even their father. I feel that it's nice you're willing to do the job of choosing a name, as it is not as easy as it sounds. But, and I mean no disrespect, by getting angry that someone else has chosen a name (which wasn't specified if the grandmother/mother/father chose that name) is crossing the line. Also, for the parents needing your consent to change their own childs name. You stated yourself in a response you wouldn't want someone else to name YOUR own child. I feel, if the ask your opinion or help, by all means, give them your help and suggestions, but don't take it personal and get upset if they don't choose the name you suggest. Whatever the child's name is, he or she will be loved just the same as if their name was something else. Of course everyone wants their child's name to be meaningful, and whatever their names are, there's always meaning and reason behind it. Hope it works out better for you next time, have a great day.

Well, if they chooses you to give the name for their kid, that's fine. But of course dont expect that all of your relatives will choose the name you've chosen besides that's their kid's name. Give them choices, and put yourself to their shoes sometimes. Happy mylotting!

Really? That is great! I have many nephews and nieces but I didn't had the chance to suggest a name for them before they were born. I believe that it is already up to their parents. In my case, I was the one who came up with our son's name. I suggested it to my husband and he agreed to it.

naah...this is something good and if others parents dnt like thy may suggest some other names...the birth of a new one in the family is something to be happy about..everyone can come up with some name and then throw chits to decide..

Of course you are not doing the right thing. Have you ever considered the feeling of the child parents. A name is very important to a person. The parent will have to call tehir name for the rest of either person life ends. You can force ppl to use a name they dont really like. If I was your brother in law you might have been slapped for peing possesive. Let to respect the boundaries that you should not cross.

My daughter's name is chosen by a fortuneteller. In China, many parents choosing their children's name pay attention to their birthday horoscope, because they hope the children have a happpy life in the future. we always care whether the names are pleasant to hear or meaningful.

I am the one who chose my daughters name and I'll be the one to pick any of my future children's names. My ex and I were still together when I had my daughter, so of course he had input, but I'll be damned if anyone put biological parents will be dictating the name of my children. I picked my daughter's name because since I was 7 years old I had been saying I wanted twin girls named Destiny and Trinity. Well I only had one girl, so she got the name Trinity. I was NOT going to budge from that name. My mom sort of gave my daughter her middle name, because she suggested it, and I loved it. But no one tried to TELL me what my daughter's name was going to be. I probably would have laughed, and when I realized they were serious I would have smacked them.

yes you not doing the right thing and i think you offending their right to give their sons or their daughters a name. first of all you took advantage of them. you should be happy they let you give name their first sons. i think it is a privilege.do not abuse.

choosing a baby name can be very easy or difficult because involve our family. Just like you. But it can be easy, if you name your baby bay yourself. Because the baby is yours. But you can allow them to give a name but the decision is your. Happy naming?

No, I do not think you are doing the right thing. I think that the parents of the child are the only ones who have the right to choose the child's name. I would be very upset if someone went behind my back and changed the name I had given my child. As you stated above it is not a tradition just something you decided to do. So, I guess when you have a child of your own someone else gets to name it?

You can only offend them if they don't want you to name their children- I will admit that it seems odd that a sibiling is naming their nieces and nephews but each family has their own way of doing things and if that works for you then keep it up. To each his own. My husband and I named our children- of course everyone in the family had input that we listened to but in the end it was our decision. Both of our boys have family names and that is just right for us. Good luck to you and your family and happy baby naming!

Choosing a baby's name can be a lot of responsibility and nowadays, many of us are searching for the Internet or looking up to the library books for names. Everyone wants a unique and the few or a meaningful name for the new-born. It is always better for the parents to choose their own baby's name, as it provides satisfaction and also sense of completion of responsibility.

Bleh, I would never let my mother choose my sons' and daughters' names, but as was said before, must be a different tradition in your country :D The way I see it, there are 2 things that one MUST do before choosing a name for a child before it is born: 1. Get HIGH as never before. Eat Mushrooms, DMT, go to the Amazonian Jungle and have the strongest Shaman prepare the strongest brew, and have the mother of all travels, and that will give you the best name ever. 2. If it is a boy, one MUST check out this list: http://tinyurl.com/22hxk8 The manliest names in the world. With this knowledge, I am confident that I will be able to give just AWESOME names, to any children, male female animal or alien, that I may have in this life

I suppose it could be nice to help someone else choose from this tough decission, but I named all my childre myself. I did listen to my family and kept their ideas in mind. I think offering suggestions and all agreeing on a name is best though. My daughter just had a new baby and I hated the name she picked for him. My husband did not like it and he told her. She thought about it, but decided to stick with the name and got him registered. It was really hard at first to call him this awful name. Now we have got used to it and it actually does suit him.

Unique names are the best, If your going to choose a babies name don't be afraid to open up your horizon, or you can call him yahoo and thats his/her University tuition fee paid loolz
