Baby name help please!?

my husband and i decided when we have a baby, we are ttc now, if its a girl we want to name her bridget alexi davidson. which i love, and actually i posted on here a few months ago and mostly everyone else did too. my problem is that i was talking to my mom and in conversation she brought up a girl she met name bridget, and she started talking about how she hates the name and how it reminds of a stripper or a porn star. she doesnt know we are ttc i dont want to jinx anything by telling to many people.





i don't want my mom thinking of a porn star when shes our baby or writes her name. i love the name and its the only one we agreed on! how should i tell my mom? should i think about changing it?








by the way i know the initials are BAD, but i love the name so much i dont care

Baby name help please!?
u didnt tell me lol... i think the name is very!! nice... and i think u shud keep it.. im sure the name will grow on her,,, my cusin had the same prob. and now her mom loves her daughters name...
Reply: Hi Im new at this but would just like to say that the name you have picked out for a girl is beautiful and I think that if you have a baby girl your mother will not care what her name is as she will look at her and everything that she thought or said about the name bridget will be long gone congrats and I hope everything goes very well for yourself and your husband.
Reply:Do not discuss the name with your Mom. When you have the baby girl and hand her to your Mother to hold for the first time and say," This is your grand-daughter Bridget." This little precious child will be the only thing your Mother will see when she hears the name Bridget.


Trust me on this one.


She will defend to the death that the name Bridget could never be anything but a perfect angel.


Just make sure you never remind her of what she said.
Reply:Its amazing how quickly peoples perceptions of names can change.





I have quite a few names that i have very bad experiences with, but if i meet someone else with that name who is really nice, i find the name can take on a good meaning for me.





I would just wait, and I'm sure once she looks at her beautiful little granddaughter she'll learn to love the name Bridget!


i think its cute!
Reply:I love Bridget but I like the pronunciation and spelling of Bridgette better...


I am not sure about your middle name...If I am pronouncing it right I don't think I like the flow...I think I would like Alexis better...


but it is simply preference and the other posters are right..there is nothing WRONG with your choice.


there is always Brigitta like in the sound of music...but I think that is too far away from the name you love!
Reply:This is why most people now are withholding names from family and friends! Everyone has an opinion including me! You could use a variation if you like it since mom is so disgusted by the name! Something like Brook or Brandy. Ah Bridget is nice and even is a saints name! Tell your mom that! It was a saints name before a strippers! Good luck!
Reply:Once she sees her granddaughter she will be in-love, and once she says her name while looking at this granddaughter she will love it. Its natural.


From then on she will think of you daughter when she hears or sees Bridget.





Honestly, stick with it, it is a nice name.
Reply:who cares what your mum thinks!


its your daughter, you choose the name!


im sure the name Bridget (adorable btw) will grow on her.


my mum hated the name Nadine and i named my daughter that and she loves it now!





:)





good luck
Reply:jinx isn't true. but anyway, i guess you need to decide which name you will like to give her. co'z it's your daughter. People will suggest a lot but the only think you will decide.
Reply:you could soften your mum by calling the baby Bridget and your mothers name as the middle name ? or i really like Bridget Stephanie
Reply:stick with it, it will be your child you should feel comfortable in naming it what ever you like. by the way i like the name to
Reply:Stick with it. It is really cute. Your mom will learn to love it, especially if she loves her granddaughter.
Reply:It is a beautiful name..don't worry about what your Mom thinks..Her days of naming babies are over and now its your turn... It doesn't sound bad(lol i know the initials) Or like a pornstar..no Destiny probably would..or Tiffany lol but it's your decision..Make it a game ..Don't tell anyone the name..When your back in labor have your hubby(or a nurse) go out and tell you family and friends in the waiting room the initials and let them play a guessing game...I know a woman who did that..it was fun and suspenseful..That way you won't deal with criticism from your mom..cuz you will already be calling her that and naming her that.





Good Luck! %26lt;3 Answer mine?
Reply:Initials that spell a word are supposed to be GOOD luck for that person!





When you have your little Bridget, she will be your mom's granddaughter and she will love the girl! Mom might come up with her own special little nickname, so don't worry about it.


Hey, look, I was called pumpkin (and I was as thin as a single piece of baby fine hair), %26amp; piss ant, or sweaty pie, %26amp; dark meat (cuz I had a year-round suntan that got severely dark in summer). Even some people couldn't remember my name or say it, so they just called me "hey U". All my life certain people call me by my best friend's name - totally different names, hers has 2 syllables and starts with a consonant, mine is 3 syllables and starts with a vowel. She has black hair, mine is brown; I've always been darker complected than she; for years I walked with a bad limp and she was even on the majorettes, wearing high heels. She had braces, my teeth were straight. We've been out of school more than 20 yrs, and people still call me her name ROFLOL





It will all work out for the best. Stop fretting over it and get some sleep. Put a smile on your face and in your heart even when you are mad!
