Shared our names with family members to very unenthusiatic response...

But both [name]Alice[/name] and [name]Julian[/name] are perfectly normal names. Some like them and some may not. But it is all personal taste; it doesn’t mean the names are [name]OTT[/name]. Because they most definitely are not.

[name]Don[/name]'t worry about what your [name]MIL[/name] thinks. :slight_smile: She has different taste than yours. Nothing wrong with that per se. But it’s your baby and your choice. Not hers.
