We have decided on Valkyrie [name_u]Ember[/name_u]! We decided to wait until the baby shower in [name_f]May[/name_f] to share with family, but we don’t know how to present it. I’m terrified to make a grand reveal and get the fake happy faces.
[name_u]Ember[/name_u] is pretty, but how is Valkyrie pronounced?

I find the more matter-of-fact I am, the less people question my choices. You could even put it right on the banner or invitations. Some people may not like it, but that’s not what matters! Be confident in your choice!
That is a badass name.
Thanks! We really think so too
This is gorgeous!
I would just be upfront matter of fact and say this my baby’s name no questions congrats!
Bold and brilliant name!
[name_u]Love[/name_u] the name!
Thanks guys! I’ve struggled with imagining my baby, my human child having this name, but I just woke up and was done searching for a name. We may just have her name on display at the shower so we dont have to be all “drum roll please”. All those that dont come to the shower will just find out when we announce her arrival.
Marvelous name!!
I think I’d consider making a cute sign that lists a few names you considered, then x-ed off, ending with your baby’s name emphatically circled. That way everyone sees that you put a lot of thought into it.
Congratulations on the baby girl and finalizing a name! That can be so tough! We announced our sons name on the baby shower invitation. That way it seemed somewhat more official and not up for discussion.
Welp, from what I learned from my mom, shower invites have already being ordered anand going out this week. So, that’s out.
Valkyrie is badass! I love coming across names that are unique like this! And honestly its kind of similar to names like [name_f]Valerie[/name_f] and [name_f]Mallory[/name_f].
If the invites are already out, you could put it on your cake? “Valkyrie’s [name_u]Baby[/name_u] Shower!” Or “[name_f]Welcome[/name_f] [name_u]Baby[/name_u] Valkyrie”.
I also like the banner idea.
Valkyrie is a gorgeous name with really, really cool associations. Great nn opportunities with [name_u]Val[/name_u] and [name_u]Kyrie[/name_u] as well! [name_u]Love[/name_u] it.
Thank you!
I might use Valkyrie as a middle someday- just love it! Congrats! Present it as fact as though the baby is already here and that’s it’s name, no arguments, and I think you’ll be fine. Let us know how it goes!
Welp. Looks like we may have to cancel the baby shower. [name_f]My[/name_f] mom was so excitedto throw me one because she has never let go ofthe fact no one threw her one. I’m ok without one. I’m not one for attention anyway. Problem is, that’s when we were going to reveal the name. So do we just wait til shes born now?
I think it would be nice to wait - by that time hopefully this all will be over and you could do it properly
Alternatively, the are plenty of fun ways you could do it virtually, over social media or video chat if you want to still do a reveal!
