Q: Are the Funky Looks I'm Getting Justified?

My husband and I have both decided we love these names for our baby (not a clue to it's gender yet) but we are getting alot of resistance from our parents, and random people who ask what names we've thought of give us really funny looks. Are they really that bad?

Girl: rhapsody dianne
boy: garion robert

people who love to read will probably recognize the names from books by david eddings and elizabeth haydon. The character namesakes are both very strong, moral people.

Thanks for your help

I Think the Names Are Cute And Unique!
It doesn't matter what other people think, the only thing that matters is you and this baby. If you feel, that these are the names that will suit your baby the best, go for it. It's not their child. However, I have heard of many situations where you have a name picked out, and when the baby comes something else fits better. In any case, I think they are very nice names. I myself also like unique names that way your baby won't have to share their name with tons of other people. Congrats on the baby!! Good luck in everything Wink

Tell Them to Stuff It!
Maybe the funny looks you get are only from people who read those authors. Kinda like if I named my children harry, ron and harmione, most people would look at me funny. (or robert langdon for any dan brown fans)

i like your names, they are unique, and I am not familiar with those authors, so I didn't notice. The names are nice. Tell people to stuff it, I have had to my whole life, my name it kitryn, and my children are conor, seanan and clareigh!

Different Names
My childrens names are tabitha, blake and bronte. I have always loved names. I chose these names because of the meanings. Tabitha means graceful as a gazelle, blake means arbritrator, and bronte is twofold, it meash thunder and is for emily and charlotted bronte the authors.
I get funny looks and even my mother asked me to use emily instead of bronte when she was born!
If it means something to you then the child will also love it. My children all know that their names are special to me.

They are quite odd names, they arent gross or anything by any means tho.
Screw other people. What matters is you and your baby, if its right for you and them when you have them in yoru arms, then its your choice as a parent... Your first decision for the rest of their life... I mean they are going to blame you whether they like it or not anyways, whether is odd or not hehe
