How will anyone know that you promised? For all they know it’s just a name you chose, why should they automatically think the name Simon means you went to the kever of rabbi Simon bar yochai, davened and promised the name?! What would there be to judge on? As in stam if they don’t like the name? Who cares?!
Either way, you’d have to ask a shaila about promising, I believe saying bli neder is less of a problem just in case.

In my family and community the norm is to name after a family member. Usually families take turns naming from the wife's side of the family and the husband's. Obviously there are exceptions, but usually with a story behind it. People in my community don't just pick a name because they like it. So automatically it turns a few heads. I need to decide how much I'll care... |
I get that! I guess I never thought twice. When we were first married there was no none to name after. The grandparents were all still alive, and great grandparents names are either not Jewish (pre war) or myself/hubby has the name, or one of our parents do. Ppl were still surprised we didn’t trace further back and made comments about us naming what we wanted.
I guess you could say a rebbei gave you a bracha and said to use this name? Or as your husband says, do what you want and if someone doesn’t like it - it’s just too bad!
