Don't know what to do...

So I'm very close to picking my little girls name.. I like adeline so much ... my mother on the other hand Hates that name and likes the name Olivia much more ... it just doesn't spark when I say it.. I'm only 18 and live at home with my mom and she said no matter what you name her it going to call her Olivia ... and I said no you won't call her that if that's her name and now she's threatening to kick me out... me and my boyfriend want to name my baby girl :'( don't know why she's being like this...

I'm pretty sure she's just saying that it's her name because she doesn't want me to pick that... but it's to late I don't care I'm not changing her name.. I love it and I call her Adeline all the time now . It's her name (: My mom will hopefully get over but I'm looking to move in with my boyfriend in the next year anyways ! She's just not much of a mom and she hasn't supported me at all

Oops I just read your last post.  So she's trying to get pregnant,  and Adeline is the name she had picked out if it's a girl.

Hmm.  

Well anyway,  it's your baby.  You have a baby girl and she doesn't - and may never.

I have never heard of so many silly grandparents before I came to this forum.  Bizarre that she has picked a name - which is in the same category of "common" this generation and decided to name your child that.  It's not like you've picked some way out bizarre name - there will be Adelines and Olivias in your child's school.

I think you should just let her call your child whatever she wants,  and name her what you want.  Lots of grandmas have little pet nicknames for their grandkids,  maybe treat it like that.  It might be fun to have your daughter call your mother something awful,  like MeeMaw.

She is acting psycho about the whole thing.. now she is saying the baby name I picked was "her" name for when she has another baby... she's 41 years old and she's been trying for a year and it just isn't happening for her then when I got pregnant she took all her problems out on me.. she's ruining my experience and my life... I really wish I had enough money to move out but I don't .. I need to stay there so me and my baby aren't out on the street ... I can't believe how crazy she is asking it's my fricking baby....

She had her chance to name her kids.  It is your turn now.  She will get over it.

You can put Olivia for her middle name if your okay with that.

Your mom should be happy with YOUR decision. It is your baby, name her what you want to. If your mom doesn't come around and realize she's your baby then you might be better off letting her kick you out. I know that sounds bad but she needs to realize it's your baby not hers. Giving her opinion is one thing but it sounds like she is just taking it too far

She named her kids, if she wanted that Name so bad she would've name you that. But now it's your babygirl, you name her wat you want. She will get over it that is so selfish of her.

Please don't listen to your mom. You'll regret it. She'll get over it. My hubby and I decided to name our daughter Lillian, but my mom hated it and wanted Lacey to be her name. But, these aren't our moms kids. They're OURS. I named her Lillian Lacey. My mom was upset at first, but she's called by both names and everybody is happy. Just don't give into your mom. Who cares if you live with her, you aren't gonna be there forever.

Wow. It is your baby you name her whatever you want! People may not like it but its not theirs to choose. If she is threatening to kick you out over that then it sounds like its time to move out on your own.
