How do I tell my mother I really don't want her baby name suggestions?

Don't. Be very thankful that she's interested, listen to all of her suggestions, and make your own decisions. If she tends to be negative to your chosen names, don't tell her any more of your favorites, but be willing to continue the discussion. She wants to feel more involved with the baby - be glad! This means that you'll probably have a free babysitter in a few months!

How do I tell my mother I really don't want her baby name suggestions?
well the easiest way is to make up your mind and announce that you have decided





please i beg you on behalf of your adult child to give them a formal name with proper spelling
Reply:Just be thankful that you have your mother to give you suggestions. Let her give you her names, say thanks, and then name the bby what you want. Who knows...maybe one of the names your mom comes up with can be used as a middle name.
Reply:You don't.





You politely say, "Hmmm ... maybe," then name the baby what you please.





Arguing will hurt her feelings more.
Reply:thank your mom for suggesting a name.and tell her in a polite way or safe way so that she will not be dissapointed that maybe there are other better names and site some examples. and give also some appreciation in the name she suggested.im sure she will understand that you dont want her suggestion.im sure she will not be dissapointed if u dont like her suggestion,she is your mom.
Reply:I don't think you should straight up tell her that, it seems a little rude. Just nod your head and say you're still thinking about it. I think it would be fun to have a baby name conversation. My mom did not seem to care in the least about what I was going to name my son.
Reply:you don't. You say thank you, that is a cute name,or I don't care for that name and go on. Who knows maybe she will give you the perfect name.





She is excited about being a grandma...be happy she is. Just because she suggests a name doesn't mean you have to even consider it, much less use it.
Reply:I wouldn't- she excited and wants to contribute ideas. As you say, they are suggestions, not a maternal dictate to name your unborn child. She's likely just making conversation, so just listen, or tune her out if you don't have the patience, but I wouldn't hurt her feelings. When the time comes, you and the dad pick the name YOU want and call it a day.
Reply:Don't come straight out and tell her but hint that you've got a few ideas you really like but the you'll still take her ideas into consideration. Don't tell her the baby's name until after it is born so she doesn't try and put you of it or say she hates it until you change it. Also, she's more likely to like the name you choose even if she might not have liked it before when she sees her grandchild.
Reply:well, if u feel really awkward in telling her, just ignore her suggestions.
Reply:Be straightforward. Tell her as kindly as you can, "I appreciate your interest, but all your suggestions for names are kind of driving me bonkers. Let's take a break from name suggestions for a while. I don't want to hurt your feelings Mom, but I've got so much on my mind - I really need your patience and understanding right now."
Reply:Politely, calmly, respectfully (adult or not, she is your mom). Something like "Mom, I appreciate your suggestions because they show interest in your new grandchild, and I love it because she's going to be getting a great grandmother. But I'm getting a bit of an opinion overload right now with everyone trying to give me new names. I'll keep what you've told me so far in mind, but I would appreciate it if you wouldn't give me any more suggestions. Thanks."
Reply:My mom died when I was ten


You should be grateful you still have a mother to give you unwanted suggestions





Just say thank you


Who knows, she may come up with the prefect name, that you are half listening too





Just let you mom be happy about her grandchild





If you are lucky like me, you would have a married name that does not go with any name. You will say, have to go with the last name





Smile, and say thank you, I will think about it
Reply:You say "thanks for that, I'll consider it" then later tell her that you wont announce any name until after it's born, then when it finally arrives you can have your choice and she'll have to accept it.
Reply:Just tell her that those are decent names but not quite what you had in mind. Ask for more suggestions so that you are letting her know that you value her opinion but not her current selections. A name is so important and if you tell her that (and she's reasonable) she'll just give you more suggestions. Otherwise you could tell her the style of names you like so she has a better chance of suggesting something you like such as trendy, English, old-fashioned/classic, weird or whatever.
Reply:If its a boy name him Logan and if its a girl name her Emily. Just ignore your mother and listen to me.
Reply:tell her you already have a name in mind
