Today, we’ve got a piece by an anonymous writer who has a piece of advice: Don’t like a baby name? Don’t say anything. In this case, it’s inspired by her own knee-jerk reaction to a name her daughter was considering — as well as her own history as a mom. “New things often seem strange until we get used to them. Not that it matters, because my feelings for my grandchild-to-be aren’t contingent on her name,” she writes.
Let this serve as a nice little reminder that keeping your mouth shut is an option that is always freely available to all of us!
