when my aunt was pregnant, she and her husband didn't want to know the gender, and they didn't share their unborn child's name options with anyone. when i asked, i was answered "if it's a boy, we'll name him giligan and if it's a girl, she'll be ginger." (of course, i was at the age where i wasn't sure i should believe them or not, haha). they would also say that the girl would be velvet and a boy would be corduroy.

if you were trying to be secretive about names, what would you "name" your children?

(ps, they now have two daughters, blaire and jenna. their middle names are not ginger or velvet ;) )

We don't tell people our name choices. It stirred up too much drama with our firstborn when I shared my short list with my sisters. My family then decided to nickname the baby. They called him "Anchor" (I don't know, one of my sisters came up with it). His name is Micah. I'm pregnant with twins and we're not sharing again, after some more name drama with a sister who immediately gave me a list of names I "can't" use, so my mom and in-laws are referring to them as Baby Ace (my FIL's name) and Baby Barbara (my mom's name) since twins get labeled "Baby A" and "Baby B" at the doctor's office. :P
