anybody let kids choose babies name or are we just crazy?

Just a quick question, we told our daughter she could choose the name for our new baby, she decided she likes lucy bikini for a girl and baby jesus for a boy but she has since changed her mind and for 2 months we thought our new baby girl was about to be called pedro tallulah peppa pig. I'm quite relieved in the end that she found a name we all agree on but Id advise against it unless your child is sane doesn't like telly or is easy influenced haha! we have decided on Abbie Rose which she picked out all on her own so it has worked out but it's been a scary few months

When i was pregnant my brother was telling everyone if it was a boy the name was scrappy or ferb & if it was a girl it would be candy, He wasn't to happy when i had my daughter & called her Charley x

when my cousin was pregnant with her second her son wanted the new baby to be called nemo after the fish, or brian ( not a clue where he got that one from) he wouldnt acknowledge the fact that the baby could be a girl, when she was born he called her beagle (dont ask me why), they named her evie and two years later we still call her evie beags!!
my best friend asked her daughter what she wanted the new baby to be called, she replied shay, a little boy in her class who she liked, a few months later shay matthew was born!

my brother was told he could choose my name and was adament on calling me doodle (this was before the tweenys came out so dont know where he got that 1 from) in the end my mum suggested gemma and he just agreed. Altough i think doodle was more original lol :)

Lol ..we had a while when our baby might have ended up as hanna montana or ferb..actually most things from the disney channel..lol we decided the kids could have some imput into the middle names..but no footballers etc lol worked out ok..
oh Imogen would quite like to change her own name to hannah montana!

we chose some names we liked and then let imogen help us decide on gracie! which worked well as she didnt get the chance to choose anything outragous, but still felt involved!
