Is it a little weird to announce the name of you future son, while wife is only 5 months pregnant?

I think Miss Manners might have something to say about that.

It depends. When the couple calls the baby in the womb by the chosen name I find that weird. But announcing that I think we're going to go with Joseph isn't that weird.

For example, a friend who is pregnant in her second trimester refers to her daughter by the name they have chosen. She also makes comments like, oh she loves pink and purple. It's very weird. It's also her first child.

No, it's not weird.

My wife had already decided before she was pregnant with our first what the kid's name was going to be for a girl or boy. I just wanted to name the baby after Brooks Robinson, but that got shot down really quick.
