The Name Game

Now begins the name game. We have said from the beginning of my pregnancy that we are not going to publicize what we plan to name the Bean until her arrival. After witnessing many friends receive unwelcome and rude feedback on the names they were considering, we decided that we wanted to keep our choices to ourselves. It is our kid and our decision.

Of course, those we have made our decision clear to – our parents – began their lobbying campaigns the second they heard we were expected a girl. They forget how stubborn I am and that there are repercussions if you don’t play by the rules.

Sorry, all those names you “subtlety” mentioned yesterday are no longer up for consideration. Thanks for playing.
