We want to keep our babies name a secret until after the birth how do we avoid the name question?

We're finding out in two weeks what we're having and then will decide on a name but we want to keep that a secret since we'll be announcing the gender and in case we change our minds if he/she doesnt look like the name we choose. Im sure other parents have done this but I need a nice way to avoid answering the 'what are you going to name the baby' question!

We want to keep our babies name a secret until after the birth how do we avoid the name question?
Just tell them that you are going to pick the name once you have met your baby in person.
Reply:Omg, i am going through the same darn thing. EVERYBODY keeps asking me. It's becoming annoying. I also want to keep my baby's name a secret until after it's written on the birth certificate....lol Then they will know.


I just keep telling them I haven't decided yet. Sometimes I just tell them that I will know once I look at her. ;)


Most of my friends are becoming skeptical, they think i have a name and just don't want to say. (which I don't) but just telling them you don't have one will pretty much give them the idea.


That then leads them to giving you their suggestions...but just smile and take it all in stride.

Well to tell u the truth I have so many names to chose from that I havent kite picked one jet it's a surprise.


And if they keep asking be like%26gt; you'll know when he's born so please stop asking me and after just cut them of and change the subject that's what I would have done actually no it's a little rude I would have said it in my mind though *^-^*





Hope I helped Luv alwayz Baby GG *^-^*
Reply:We aren't sharing our names with anyone either (we don't know the gender, and aren't going to find out, so we have two names picked out). I am not really trying to avoid the question, but when people ask "have you picked out any names" I politely, and with a smile, say, "yes, but we aren't sharing them with anyone right now... it's nothing personal." I haven't had anyone respond negatively to me saying that. People are extremely nosey when it comes to pregnant women, but if you gently mark the boundaries, they usually are okay with that.
Reply:if someone asks you, just punch them in the mouth...that'll shut em up.
Reply:Yep, just say you haven't decided, or you don't have any names picked out yet. When you do share, people always say something bad about it, or have their own opinions - so it's better not to share.
Reply:Just say you don`t know.I didn;t have a name picked out for my daughter until i was 9 months.


Or you can say its a secret! either one works
Reply:Tell them it will be a surprise to all after the birth.
Reply:We have just told people. We are not sharing his name yet. period if they don't like it they don't have a choice. If they nag you then ignore them.
Reply:This is what we did:





We didn't bring it up.


If someone asked us what the name was going to be, we said "We haven't decided yet".





We wanted to get to know the baby a little more, and wanted about a month to see the baby before tacking a name on her.





We felt really pressured by the hospital to name her as soon as possible, so we named her 5 days after she was born.





I told some people of some names we were considering, but in the end, never used any of those. We named her something completely different.





Nobody got upset when we said we hadn't decided.
Reply:Tell people you are NOT going to name the baby and you have decided to use NUMBERS. Tell them that way if you decide to have a LARGE family it will be easier to keep track of the children. REMEMBER TO BE SERIOUS.

Reply:Tell anyone who asks the name question that you feel comfortable waiting until you see your baby and naming him/her right then and there. If they keep asking, ask them why it's so important to them that they know?
Reply:Just be honest! Tell them you've decided you don't want to announce it until after the baby's born. They should respect your decision. :D
Reply:Tell them Michael if it's a boy and Jennifer if it's a girl. You have the right to change your mind later, right?? lol
Reply:Just simply say " I haven't decided yet".
Reply:Simply say that you haven't decided yet. Which, under the circumstances, is true.
Reply:Just say "we've got a few ideas but we haven't decided yet." Most normal people will respect your privacy, but if the nosey parkers press you, just tell them they'll have to wait, like everyone else. It's your decision and they will have to like it or lump it. Good luck with everything.
Reply:You're still thinking about it.
Reply:Tell them you're going to name the baby "peanut."
Reply:Just tell them you would rather not share the names until the child is born.
Reply:just say ur gonna wait to she what he or she luks lyk 1st :)
Reply:Just tell them that you didn't find out the gender. When people asked us we told them we were still deciding and we had few names picked out. They took that as a hint that we didn't want them or anyone else to know. Good luck
Reply:Just tell them you want to keep it secret, whats the big deal?
Reply:You havent decided yet.
Reply:When i did this i just told people we was still looking for a name thats right, or say not sure what do you think i should call the baby, that diverts them from wondering but you will get 1000's of people telling you what to call your baby.


Good Luck.
Reply:You can simply say that, either you haven't decided on a name yet, or that you will wait till you see the baby to give him/her the name. :)





Good luck!
Reply:Jst tell its a surprise
Reply:anna was the first to say it - say you're undecided. Simple!
Reply:Just tell them you guys haven't made up your mind. Or you're waiting until she's born and you get your first glance at her.
Reply:Haven't decided and then say "what do you suggest?"
Reply:You havent decided yet!
