Bennett for a boy... I Know its so early but I told my mom that I really had my heart set on that, She told me if I named my kid that it sounds snobbish plus he would get teased? Honest opinions please? Also for a girl I really Like Hadleigh? thoughts?
Re: Honest opinions please
Hadleigh isn't really my cup of tea, but if you like it and your DH likes it then that's all that matters! Leigh is my middle name
So I like that part.
Name them whatever you want, people will get used to it and even grow to love it! A friend of mine recently named her baby an odd name (I'm not going to say on here, JUST IN CASE) but now I kinda like it!
I had thought about Bennett b/c it's a family name, but we may use it for a middle name, or not at all. We're not sure yet. I like the name.
I don't like Hadleigh b/c I taught a "Hadley" where I used to work, and she was a little troll, horribly mean to all of the kids. But that is just my feelings of the name, because of an experience I've had. if you love it, use it.
There's nothing wrong with Bennett and it does not sound snobbish at all. I know a man named Bennett and he's a douche so I immediately associate it with him making it NMS.
Hadleigh is NMS either. But it's not a bad name either.
I would beware about discussing names too much with those you love. They will be brutally honest. We have managed to avoid talking names with anyone in our families so far and I'm hoping to keep that up for as long as possible. I tend to take things to heart and I know if my mom or MIL bashed one of my names, I would be really upset.
