People need to chill out.

why do people feel the need to comment on the name YOU chose for your baby....like my friends keep telling me how much they hate sons name. who are they to say anything?  like if you dont like it, have your own kid and name them. its annoying and honestly very hurtful.  my grandma also said it was very ugly. only because she couldn't pronounce it!  wtf. ive never disliked my grandmother so much.  it just hurts >:( his name is Caleb Landen Sawyer.  I Thought and think its a pretty cool name. But now I want to change it because everyone makes me feel so bad. :"(

Dont change it. I think it is a very cute name. I chose Arabella Rose for my daughter and my step dad went ape **** about the fact that her first name is Italian.

Old people love to give their opinions. I like the name Caleb, it's unique but it's not weird ya know? Just ignore their comments. That's what I've been doing.

I myself have difficulties looking for a name that starts with a c and I actually thought about Caleb it's usual and sounds nice just cause they can't pronounce it doesn't mean the name is ugly, I'm still looking tho...

I don't think you should change it, if that's what you wanna name YOUR baby, then go ahead. Having a baby is all about you and when you put aside all the negativity, you'll understand what I'm saying. Down to the decision of keeping the baby. Yes it's absolutely good to make decisions with you mate but I personally feel that when you're pregnant, it's your time to shine! I'm only 19 weeks and when I first got pregnant, I was anxious to pick baby names. If it's a boy, if it's a girl. My boyfriend was the only one and still is the only one to tell me if he likes something or not. I had a problem with my mom cause she said not to name my baby a JR if it's a boy, because she's never been able to pronounce his name. It's Terrell but she says Tyrrell... But he wants a JR so why not give him that, I mean, HE IS THE DAD FOR CHRIST SAKE! If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be pregnant.
I believe you stick with the name you picked and to hell with what everyone else thinks!

Only your opinion matters, when i had my oldest daughter, her dads grandma was like "what kind of name is racheal? Thats ugly." and me being an a-hole was like "what kind of name is evelyn? Thats your great grand daughter you better like her name" lol.

This is the reason I'm not telling people the names we've chosen. I love them but I know if someone says anything or gives me "the look" that they don't like it I'll start second guessing them. Plus I know a lot of people who are having babies and I don't want then to "accidentally" take it.
