anyone have a negative reaction to your baby name? :(

Today i went to my old work to get food, and an ex co worker asked what my sons name will be.. I told her and she had a grossed out look on her face and said 'uhh oookaaaay' and walked away. I dont really care what she thinks personally but i felt like it was such a rude reaction thatthat it sort of hurt my feelings. My family like the name we decided on! So screw what anyone else thinks!

Has this happened to anyone else???

Everyone loved the name we picked for our son besides my cousin and her mom. They both did the uh ok.... Thing and when I asked my aunt what is wrong she just said nothin just different I honestly don't care at all..... But we are naming him Greyson Berry (Berry is my husbands grandfathers name who passed away and Logan was really close to him) I get more of a weird response at Berry than anything really but it means a lot to my husband and I am not taking that away from him :)

No body cares for the girl name we picked out but I love it. Our girl name is Takoma Genevieve. And people also think our boy middle name is weird. Boy name is Damion Forrest. But when people react weird I just smile and say well we love these names. So screw what anyone else thinks.

That is actually the reason we aren't telling anybody until he is born. In the town I live in everybody names their kids common names, and I don't like common names. But we are naming our son Ryder. Although I have seen it before nobody has that name here. We also have a daughter named Kiara.

My daughters name is going to be Rayven SkyeLynn Archer because we have a son named Leland Christopher John Archer plus her name is unique because her means dark blackbird and Skye means dark and Rayven means blackbird

Oh yeah. My sons name is Raizeek (Ray-zeke) & people ALWAYS have something negative to say but oh well,  screw them.  It's unique and my husband and I loved it so that's what We went with.  We call him Zeek. I'm thinking of naming this baby Zhyla if it's a girl.  The name is Bosnian and again stuck out to me.
