We recently found out we are team :pink: this time around! I knew right away we were going to have a girl and we decided on the name Emma a few weeks into the pregnancy... So I have been calling her Emma. Well, we are using Ann as the middle name after my mom who passed. When I told my sister we decided on Emma Ann she said she loved it. Then, yesterday she started questioning Emma altogether. Saying we should pick a different name. I don't really care what she thinks I'm just wondering what everyone else thinks of our little Emma Ann!
 
Is she causing you to doubt yourself? I've already had my sister and my best friend ruin three name ideas for me. I don't think I want to share anymore. We will tell the gender and let the name be a surprise.

I would tell your sister that you appreciate her sharing her doubts you don't share them and to you her name is already emma Ann and you love it.
 
No. I'm just more offended by the way she's acting. I hate both of her kid's names and I never said a word to her about it. I'm so set on Emma that I don't care what anyone else really thinks... I'm just bothered by her reaction when I didn't say anything to her about the names she picked.
 
When you told your sister the name, did you ask for her opinion or just tell her that was the one she loved? Either way, I think she's being slightly insensitive.

Anyway I wouldn't worry about her as it sounds like you two have very different taste anyway ;) I love the name Emma, I think its timeless and classic. You can't go wrong with that name. Congrats on team pink!
 
No. I never ask her opinion on names because I don't like the things she likes. I love the name and so does my husband. We'll be using it regardless of her opinion. She just always gives her opinion on my kids names and I wish she would stop. It hurts my feelings even if I don't really care what she thinks if that makes sense.
 
I love Emma, I wanted to use it for my LO but we already had a little Emma born in the family shortly before my LO. If you have entirely different tastes in names then I wouldn't let your sister's opinion bother you. It is insensitive of her to say something but just try to brush it off, you've chosen a lovely name. :)
 
I Love the name Emma, and unless she can come up with a really good reason for you not to call your LO Emma, then really she should keep the opinions to herself. Its not an 'outlandish' name or anything, its sweet, feminine and a classic!
I have actually been the sister to pass on a little constructive critique to my own sister, with really good reason. She was set on calling her little girl Beau. My sisters last name is Peek and she doesnt plan on using the fathers name now, so... :dohh: She hadnt even realised! :haha:
 
Thank you, ladies! I appreciate the input!
