It might be Stupid but Oh Well.

I hate that everyone is already thinking of nicknames for her...Like Leelee, Anni, Yaya?! (What the heck is a Yaya) You all might think that it's silly but I can't stand names like (Daedae, Kekee, Sheeshee) that for people period. I am comfortable with people calling her Ali because her name is Aliyanna but that's it.

My family still does not know yet but ive been throwing around 'future baby names' and my sisters completely dislikes the 1 name I picked out for a boy or girl. But like you ive grown attached to these names and my family is the type to want to name my first child. Smh they are going to be so unpleased once they get called back down to earth lol

At least I am not the only one...If I had not of grown so attached to the name Aliyanna her name would be Khyla. I am going to see the family straight when she's born.

I hate nicknames! Why bother naming them one thing and calling them something else. My friends and family know no nicknames.

OMG I'm right there with you! My mil has been calling my baby letty since she was still in my belly! She's three months now and I'm always like her name is VIOLET. She says it's cute like from fast and furious. I'm just keeping my mouth shut from now on. My daughter will know her name and eventually be able to tell her grandmother to stop if she doesn't like it lol

you shouldn't change your childs name bc ppl don't like it , if you and the father love the name then you should stick with it , besides you are the one carrying it for 9months then pushing it out (:

I get you girl! My son's first name will be Jesús like his dad and it's a name with different nicknames and from all of them my SIL has decided to call him the one I don't like "chuchito" idk why but I dont like it!! So I already told her she can't call him like that and if she keeps doing it then she won't be seeing him at all lol. My boyfriend said I was being dramatic but I dont care its my son not hers.

Mine too! Everyone hated the first (Khyla) name I picked out for her and I was frustrated and hurt.. I ended up changing it and people still seem irritated with that.

Honestly? Nothing. I'm still not sure how to approach this with her. She is my full time daycare for this baby after august, so I don't want to **** her off, but it really hurt my feelings that she said that.

My grandma of all people told everyone my baby boy's name was "retarded". No joke. I was sitting right there and shocked that those words even came out of her mouth!

Lmao! Ram?! Seems like your family is playful with it. However, my family makes me feel like they don't like her name.. I already changed it once and it's not going to change again.

Raelynn is a beautiful name! ... In my opinion though you pick her nickname. That's the parents choice. My niece is Elizabeth and my SIL hates the nickname Lizzy so she became Ellie, and everyone calls her that
