S3E8 - S03E008: Naming a Baby Without Starting a Family Feud

HEY OTHER PARENTS – S03E008: Naming a Baby Without Starting a Family Feud 🎙️ In This Episode: Naming a baby is no small task. From family traditions to pop culture influences, choosing the “right” name can feel like walking through a minefield — one full of strong opinions, veto lists, and more unsolicited suggestions than anyone ever asked for. This week on Hey Other Parents, we’re talking all about the first — and likely most stressful — parenting decision: naming your baby… without setting off a full-blown family debate. From grandparents lobbying for family names to friends “calling dibs,” we share our own stories, the pressures we felt, and the moments that made us laugh years later. Because naming a baby isn’t just about what sounds good on paper — it’s about identity, legacy, and learning to trust your gut, even when everyone around you has thoughts. ❓ Question of the Week What baby name arguments did you have — and how did you solve them? 📞 Call/Text: 559-LES-KIDS (559-537-5437) 📩 Email: [email protected] 📱 Instagram: @HeyOtherParents 📚 Book Club Reminder Don’t forget — we’re reading Fierce Intimacy by Terry Real for the Hey Other Parents Book Club!
