risking vulnerability...
So even though I was hesitant to post my name choices on FB because I was afraid people would slam it, I did it anyway.
And I kind of feel I got a little stepped on. :(
I guess I can only tell myself I saw it coming, but I wish I wasn't the kind of person who caves with peer pressure - a part of me says "well, folks don't like that name for "x" reason, but I really do....I guess maybe I should scrap it." But I like the name and I don't want to scrap it, so now I'm left with wondering when I do name her if people will be judging me/her name for the rest of the time I know them.....
Naming your baby is such a personal thing and you fall in love with a name, it's hard to receive negative feedback and not get butthurt. :(
