Many women end up having a couple of showers, especially for the first baby. Her family may throw a shower and invite only family members, and then her co-workers may want to throw one as well. The mother-to-be may find that her husband or significant other is surprised with a shower or gifts by people with whom he works as well. It all depends on the size of the families involved and the extent of your list of friends and co-workers.

For example, if it the baby name begins or ends with the same letter as the first letter of your last name, it may sound awkward.
