Daughter not allowed to know new baby’s name until she visits him

butterandjam

Maybe the baby's name is still "under discussion" between his parents?

I've known people register the baby with "our favourite" name then realise that the dream name doesn't actually match the real baby. My parents did that to me. On my birth certificate, my name is not Butterandjam. My bank, passport and the NHS all know me as PostPartumFlightOf Fancy.

I do wish there was a ‘like’ button on Gransnet, this really made me chuckle!

Hi everyone, and happy Sunday!

We think the OP would prefer this thread to come to a natural close now.

The OP has asked us to remove any mentions of the child's name, so you may notice that some posts have been deleted.

Thank you all for your kind messages, good wishes and congratulations. We'd also like to add our own congratulations and best wishes to the OP and their family.

Best wishes,
Faye
GNHQ.

Please will posters refrain from posting the babies name. It was my mistake I had forgotten it’s an open forum, thank you

Is that a name that your daughter would be particularly thrilled with, ie does it have a strong family connection perhaps?

Please read the numerous previous posts, this subject has been dealt with.

If you are getting fed up of all this, why not email GNHQ and get the whole thread deleted ? Its run its course hadn’t it. Enjoy your new ggs

I dont see the problem and as for being "distraught" is a bit over the top. Perhaps your granddaughter wants to see her mum's reaction when she tells her. Cant see the problem tbh. I and the other grandparent werent told the name of our grandchild until we went to visit. Parents wanted to tell us when we were all together and to be honest seeing the pride in their faces when they announced his name was beautiful.

I’ve reported one I spotted

The name is still readable on here.
Perhaps more posts should be removed?

Not Levi?

Forgot to attach the image!

Report yourself - by clicking the three dots at the bottom of your post (see the image of what happens when you click it) and just ask them to remove the baby's (excellent!) name.

Congratulations again.

Thank you for suggesting this how do I do it

Gorgeous name

Please ask administrators to remove the name of the baby off the thread.

It is not safe in this internet age.

Any reason for the secrecy?

Oh sorry.
Not meant to pour cold water on your baby happiness, houseseller.
Congratulations!

My nan always said there's nothing clever about having a baby; the clever thing is making sure you don't have them

My MIL had nine children, I married number three, the last planned one! The very idea of all this current hooha about pregnancy and the birth of a baby would have amused her no end.

No, I haven’t heard of this being a trend. Usually people are coming on here really upset that they are not being allowed to see their new grandchild due to “bonding time” by the parents. At least your granddaughter seems to be encouraging people to visit.

P.S i still think it's a trend, as most child rearing is, over the years.
