This probably has been asked plenty of times, but if you've been pregnant, did you ever keep names secret? I mean, isn't that safe?

Also.. my cousin just found out she is having a girl and is naming her Pearl. Middle name unknown. Don't know if I like it or not, but it doesn't matter.

I told everybody what I planned to name my son, and everybody made fun of it so I eventually found another name I liked just as well.

My son was originally going to be Damien Tobias, he ended up being Adrian Maxwell.

There are pros and cons when it comes to sharing a name vs. keeping it a secret.

If you share, people may like it so much they copy it, or people may not like a name and try to talk you out of it. That was a problem with my leading girls name. I love the name Agatha, but people kept trying to talk me out of it because it sounds like an old lady name.

If you share it, people might point out issues with the name that you hadn't considered. (When I said I wanted to name my son Damien, everyone immediately brought up The Omen, and I really didn't want my son to have to deal with that his whole life).
