My Family + My Baby's Name

[horrorheart13]

My OH and I decided before we ever knew we were pregnant that if we ever had a boy, we'd name him Jerry Black III, as my OH is the II. I think it's great and of course so does OH but my mother and grandma seem to have such a problem with it. They keep saying things like "Let the baby have his own name" and "you won't want it to be that name when you two separate". The last one is ridiculous because we're very much in love and have no intention of separating. I just don't know what to do. Nothing I say keeps them from trying to make me feel like crap about the name. I absolutely love it but it's hard to be happy about it when people are being so negative

Ignore them, your baby, your choice.

 

[kerry 20]

just ignore them hun its your baby and its you and your oh's decison what you decide to call him.

 

[Margerle]

Yup ignore them.

My gramps wanted me to name my first Bolivar Shagnasty.



Uh, no.

Definitely you and your OH's choice as far as your baby's name goes . I think with everyone, there is always going to be at least 1 person who dislikes or doesn't agree with names! But as long as you're fond of the name, i'm sure your baby will be fine with whichever name you choose!

 

[Iwantone!!!]

ur the ones that tango to produce the baby and its up to u two wat u call ur baba

 

[luckyme225]

I'm surprised they even said anything... It's not there baby so they don't get a say in the name. People can say stupid things sometimes lol.

 

[mommy2raven]

Its your choice!!! Try ignore them xoxoxoxoxox

 

[Samantha675]

Ignore them, tell them both that you have listen to their imput, but it is enough already.

 

[PitBullMommy]

Totally not their choice, ignore them. DH's family is mad cause we're using both of my grandmother's middle names if we have a girl (Rosa and Marie) and no names from their family. They can suck it up, it's not their kid.

 

[Always&4ever]

Its yours and your OH's choice honey, I had originally wanted to call my baby Jade but my OH's mum owns a buisness with the same name so felt obligated to change it and we chose Jasmine, who knows if it will change again though after she's born

 

[horrorheart13]

Thanks everyone. I'm just really frustrated with them.

LOL, Margerle!! Bolivar Shagnasty?!

 

[fifi83]

I agree your baby your choice.

You know what... my first son was named after his father as well. His name is Julian Isais IV. How can you say no to naming your child when it is like a legend in the family?! I did end up separating from the father when my son was 3 but I never regreted naming him after his dad. It is an honor and I tell him that often. Plus.. Julian is a cute name, I must admit

 

[GAURDIANANGEL]

yepp.
they can't say what to name ya'lls baby
name it whatever ya'll like. =]

 

[Margerle]

Thanks everyone. I'm just really frustrated with them.

LOL, Margerle!! Bolivar Shagnasty?!

YUP





In fact for the first 4 or 5 years of my daughter's life, that's what he'd call her...

"Hey Bolivar come give Grampa a hug!"

Now my real name is Shiann (like Cheyenne) and when my mother and father told my mother's aunt about my name... "You might as well have named her FUCHLINA." (yeah, like it sounds )

Parents are inspired to name their kids... Just go with your gut, and fuchlina to everyone else.

Yeah, that's why we wanted to name him III. Because I love my OHs name and would love to have it carry on. Even if we do separate it won't change the fact that it's our son and I want him to be named after his father.

Julian is a cute name

What is with moms? I was visiting my grandparents with mine on the weekend and she cracked a joke about me divorcing. She laughed all by herself while everyone else looked uncomfortable. She goes on and on about it - won't even let us have a wedding reception until next YEAR. "Most marraiges don't make it through their first year..."

That's BUSINESSES, mom.

Anyway, since she's not-so-supportive about the wedding (we eloped), she was downright bitter about the pregnancy at first. She's warmed up, a little, but that may just be because everyone else is happy about it. Just tell her to shove off. I like telling mine that I hate my name, and wish someone would have argued with her. But that's because I'm mean.

my OH and his dad have the same name.
They seemed to work it OK. ...though I dont want baby to have the same name again it has to be said.
But it worked for them.
