I am 29 weeks and I softly refuse to discuss names with people (even my close family and friends). All the names that I have on my list are quite unique - I have a unique name and I sort of like that. I told my sister in-law one name and she was like "Ohhh - that's interesting". After that experience, I decided to let it be a 100% decision between the father and I. Now when people ask, I just respond that we aren't sure and have many names on the list (then most will jump in with their own opinions and I just smile and nod).

It was good in some ways to be small, but in other ways really tough. I had one stranger ever ask if I was pregnant. I'm sure some others wondered (when I was 7, 8 and 9 months along) but were too timid to ask just to be safe. I got a lot of flack for never getting very big, though. People would always tell me that I was going to have a 4-pound baby, and that I wasn't eating enough. Even my OB's resident made some rude comments in my 8th month about how it couldn't be normal that I was so small.... My doctor was never concerned though, and I had a very healthy full term baby girl - 6 pounds 13 ounces. Am now 18 weeks pregnant with my second baby (just found out today it's a girl!!!)... So excited - but besides some close friends and family haven't told people at work. Am thinking I probably won't be able to get away with hiding it much longer. Your tummy looks similar to mine right now (I'm a few weeks behind you though). Congratulations!! And have fun picking a name!!!

Had a friend that went around from 6 months calling their kid by 1 name only to have the birth and she took one look at the baby and went "That's not his name... it just doesn't fit him" So they spent the next several months correcting people and being sheepish about it. Don't even get me started on if the sonogram tech blew the gender pronouncement. :) We whittled the name list down to a couple each time and once were were looking at them choose the name. In my opinion it was the only way to go with the boys.

Unless the baby is currently falling out of her, I wait until she mentions it before saying anything. Even if it is super obvious. Nor do I!

There is still the option, following the old tradition, to choose a name from the father/mother or grandfathers/grandmothers. So as examplem your own name would be easy to change into "Stephan". ^_^ But you are right, the name choosing is your own business alone. The only suggestion I would give is to not to choose something too exotic. So my own name is a German one, but it is a more rare one. For awhile(as young teen) i even disliked my own name. The other kids at school had the tendency to call me "Nops" or "Nobby" and I hated that. :D So that I preferred it for awile, to get called by my second name "Georg". :) Well,..
