If your sister and her husband want to choose that name it’s up to them. Would you have said something to a friend if they had chosen that name?

Each to their own. It’s not something that I’d have gone with.
We didn’t tell anyone the names we had picked out for our kids and no matter how much some people begged to know I wouldn’t tell them. They’d try and guess and I wouldn’t even give a hint. I knew a good friend of mine hated the girls name we had picked out for both our boys (had they been girls). I didn’t care, it wouldn’t have made a difference but I wouldn’t have liked to have had anyone tell me they didn’t like the names.

Each to their own, personally I couldn’t and I havnt! The pain is real just not having bub my arms, let alone naming them all ????️ ✨

I think negative comments need to stay out. Her family her choice.

Her opinion was not asked. Why voice your opinion ?

This is a tricky one. She’s asked for your opinion, however I do think negative comments need to be kept to yourself, especially at her baby shower.

After 12 years of IVF and two miscarriages to 3 babies, I get it. I toyed with naming bub Chance for similar reasons to Five. I didn’t. She asked for your opinion… but perhaps the wording could have been more gentle and an apology needed. She is very pregnant and the hormones will also be impacting. It would be a lovely middle name!

It is a very unique name but each family deserves to name their children what they want without strong judgement.

Probably best to keep negative comments to yourself.

Perhaps not the right time to say anything. She can name her child whatever she wants. And you can have your own opinion. It really is tricky and so close to her birth date. Tensions will no doubt be running high.

I understand the impulse but don’t think that’s a great name. Might have been a better time to bring it up, though.

I’m a huge believer in telling loved ones the truth so they can always see a different view point but in this instance i think maybe it would have been better to just leave it.

It is up to the parents for sure to name their baby anything they want. I think that if it is pointed out the the baby name Quinn (Latin for five) could be a option they might like that name if they didn’t know it existed. Quinn can be for a boy or a girl. Bless them for having the courage after so many losses.

Entirely up to the parents in deciding what name to give their newborn. In my opinion best to not say anything at all.

I think that as she was asked for an opinion and she gave it, it should have been well received. Perhaps it was the pregnancy hormones that made her take it so badly. At the end of the day, she can name her baby whatever she wants. What I’ve learnt though is that often possible people ask for your opinion but really must to validate their choice.

I would suggest they name their baby Quinn which is Latin for five and is suitable for a boy or girl. I also think it’s a nicer name.

She asked for an opinion. She got an opinion. I feel that naming a child after their siblings might make them feel like literally, a number, not an individual, but hey… I’m not the mum. It’s a beautiful thought to remember the other children.

This poor lady really couldn’t win either way, could she?
She obviously thinks highly of her SIL, or she wouldn’t have thrown a baby shower for her.
Having been asked her opinion of what her brother and SIL are going to name their baby, she gave her opinion, and why she thought like that.
As she appears to be close to her SIL, I can just imagine the problems if she refused to give an opinion she had been asked to give.
She couldn’t win either way.

She was asked for her opinion and she gave it. You just can’t agree with the name if you don’t agree with it. I don’t think she has done anything wrong.

Going against the grain here, everyone is saying they shouldn’t have said anything, however the sil asked op for her opinion. I think when you ask that you need to be prepared for an answer you may not like. Baby names are tricky but this kid will grow up explaining their name to everyone about siblings they never had or knew.
