Sometimes, not telling until it's a done deal can be a problem. We named our daughter, Carolyn. We had no idea that several years earlier, the family across the street from us had suffered a horrible tragedy when their daughter, also Carolyn, and her infant son were both murdered. We had no idea. The neighborhood was hush-hush about it. We would have chosen a different name if we had known.
I would hope that people talk about kids & how they would raise them before it happens. J and I know how we'd raise kids - and we have their names picked out (all family names). We're not having kids.
