I have definately decided that I am NOT sharing my names with my future mother in law...until after the name is "written in stone"

I asked her about the name Sabrina the other day and she replied with "its a frivolous name and probably wouldnt get a good job b/c of it"
Needless to say I was SHOCKED!!!

Everyone BUT my mom loves the name we have picked out for a boy, which is Owen Scott. My mom has thrown such lovely things out there like Owen sounds like a farmer's name or Owen is a last name, not a first name. Everytime we mention it, even in front of other people, she has to make a comment. My in-laws, other family and friends all love it. I flat out told her: accept it now, because if it's a boy, that's what he will be, so get use to it.

I love Owen :)
Yeah i pretty much told her that Nick and I are going to name our kids what we like... I have already compromised enough with naming my first daughter to be... Samantha Rose, b/c of a family thing for them...

David is a last name too. Owen predates the use of surnames.

Exactly. I just don't get why it matters anyways. *sigh*

Owen is the name of Luke's uncle on Star Wars and he was a farmer... so when your mom said "Owen sounds like a farmer's name" I instantly thought of Star Wars.
