Eeerrr, who's baby is this??? Who gives a rats a** if your family don't like it! They have probably just got their noses out of joint cos u haven't named the bubs after them!! Politely tell them that they had their turn when u were born to have the name of their choice and now it's your turn to name YOUR baby!!

p.s Well for the record, I love the names and lets face it, thats all that REALLY matters now isn't it? lol

I love both of the names :) I think they are beautiful. When it comes to picking names there will always be someone who doesn't like them so dont worry about it. Its up to you and your hubby and believe it or not they will come around. I hated my nephews name and it grew on me and now i love it and think it suits him beautifully :)

They are both beautiful names....

and if you and your partner have agreed on both then don't let any other opinions enter into it! In my experience it's hard enough to find a name that both parents like, let alone the entire family! You'll know if the name is right when he/she is born anyway

Congratulations. The names sound really great. I must say that I wanted my second son to be named Ashley Benjamin, against all family taste, but when he was born I looked at him and when they asked me his name I said Alexander William, which no one had suggested anyway, He just looked like an Alexander. You do what you feel is right and tell the family to take a hike. Leisa

Wow, Cohen and Ava, What lovely names. I believe the family will get used to the names. We went very simple with our childrens names Jack, Sarah and Zoe because of our hhhhuuuuugggggeeeee surname.

If you believe they suit yourself, your partner and your surname, then go for it. And as another reader suggested, if you can yell their names like they're in trouble then they suit.

Good luck.

You're the ones who are going to be yelling it over and over again for the next 18 years so YOU get to choose, also you're the one doing without ham and soft cheese and alcohol and McDonalds thick shakes and smoked salmon AND going to have hours and hours and hours of pain giving birth with a possible weeks of pain recovering afterwards so YOU get to chose the name LOL. If they want to go through all that instead of you then THEY can chose the name....just tell them that!

By the way personally I love the girls name, the boys one probably wouldn't be my choice but thats the point...it's NOT MY choice....it's YOURS.....

Stand in a bedroom door and say sternly "Cohen Richie -------- Clean up this pig sty this minute"..... do the same with Ava Elizabeth........it'll happen LOL

I haven't read the other responses but I think you need to choose names that you and your partner are happy with. Your family will love the baby no matter what, and will get used to the name over time. I had a Cohan at a Centre I worked at and thought it was just such a nice name.

I too love tha names and considering I hear lots and lots of baby names as I work at a major maternity hospital, I think they are not to unusual and not to common. Keep them. I would just not discuss the name factor anymore with family let them wait and see. Cogratulations and best wishes.

Awww, they're lovely names........a nice strong boy name and a very pretty girly name......

Once your baby is born the name will be irrelevant as they will love him/her no matter what!! People tried to talk me out of calling my son Luke as they said all the boys they knew by that name were "naughty". I loved the name so I stuck with it!

It's your choice......

congrats to you!

you picked your names, you stick by them... alot of people did not like me calling my son Koen Lee, but now, they love his name and regret picking on it..

so whatever you choose, they are going to have to get used to it :)
cheers!

YOU KEEP THOSE NAMES

Marlena — Wed, 23 May 2007 22:53:07 -0700

You know I would keep the babies name that you have choose. In the end it is your child and you have to live with it. You have to carry the baby in your for 9 months so that is your right (how can you tell i am pregnant right now lol). My hubbies family had a problem with my middle names that I have picked out but my baby my right. You keep those names.

It's up to you what you call YOUR child, not anyone else! If you & your husband can agree on a name use it - we had a lot of trouble coming up names that we both liked. Don't listen to waht anyone else says, they will like the names once they meet your beautiful baby!

Not so much a coincidence

they are very beautiful names.
You are the parents and not them so they have no right to tell you other wise.

I told my dad we are having a girl and her name is Charlotte. He said you cant name her that. Charlotte the harlotte, she will get teased. I asked what a harlotte was as i had no idea. but we still named her Charlotte and no other name would of suited her more (not saying she is a harlotte LOL)

My sister also called her sons middle name her partners dad middle name to be abused by his ex. you go with what you feel is right and what you guys like. you made them you name them

What was I thinking - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Baby Names

The hard part is finding names that the two of you like... After all, it is YOUR baby It is great that you have managed to do this, and your family should be happy for you.

I bet they are giving you all sorts of suggestions - just tell them that perhaps they can use that name for THEIR next baby (even if it is 80 year old Auntie Marj hehehe).

You could also thank them for their concern and let them know what baby items you need and where they can purchase them.

If you like the names, which you oviously do, go with them. Our families didn't really like the names that we suggested in the beginning so we decided not to tell anyone our favourites at all. When I had our daughter everyone was very happy with the name, we still think that eberyone liked it because they didn't get an opportunity to think about it and decide that they didn't like it.

Hope everything goes well. Remember it is your baby not theirs.

my entire family had an opinion on names!! if you love it, go for it. do you like heather locklear and richie sambora by any chance? cos their daughter's name is ava elizabeth. its a cool coincedence tho.

good luck and a safe pregnancy.
