I am expecting a baby boy and everyone is driving me crazy. The first problem was with his name. I've always liked the name Matthew and it's one of few I feel I'll always like. I planned to call him Matt, but after I became pregnant and already decided on the name, my sister started dating a guy named Matthew. I asked people if they thought it'd be weird to have a son named Matt and a possible future brother in law named Matthew, and a couple people jumped on me saying that I should ask my sister and her boyfriend if I could use the name since they might get married and want it for their son one day. I've always felt that no one owns a name and names should be first come first serve and when I asked, my sister felt the same way. However, when I told people that, they told me to pick another name and get over it. When I did choose the only other name I feel I can live with, one of my friends accused me of stealing it from her. The second problem was with his due date. He was supposed to come on October 8th, which is my brother's birthday. People insisted that I induce labor before then, but after having had a small baby, I was nervous doing so. Now that he's late, everyone's worried he'll come on the 20th, my other brother's birthday or the 26th, the anniversary of my grandmother's death. They want me to induce, but I want him to come when he's ready. Is it the hormones, or are people overly irritating? (link)
First off, this is no one's baby but yours and the father's. You name the baby whatever you wish, its your right and no one else's. The due date issue sounds just ridiculous to me. Tell everyone in your family to shut up. The baby WILL come when he's ready. Your baby and his uncle can have the same birthday; a lot of people actually love having nieces and nephews with the same birthday as them.

Its not the hormones, I got extremely irritated while reading this question. Everyone needs to chill. You decide what you think is best, don't ask anyone for anymore advice, especially when it comes to the due date and his name. That's YOUR choice, not theirs.

If you feel you need to ask for their advice, go ahead. But my advice to you is to figure all of it out on your own. You decide what is best for your baby. Try to get through a few more days without killing anyone lol. :) I hope I helped. And please tell everyone that you need to relax for the baby's sake; that being said, you might tell them to screw off and let you be.

Thanks, I totally agree and will no longer listen to what these people have to say about this.
