Baby name

So i found out i was having a boy this week. Everyone was so excited. So i already had the perfect name for my baby boy. My family and friends love the name i picked. But my boyfriend was laughing with his family about how the babys name is ugly. I felt irritated because its my baby i picked the name i asked him for suggestions he had none. Any advice?

I have no idea why they don't like it they are off lol my DD name is Shoshanna Lynn and yet they have no problem pronouncing that so I think it bein "hard to pronounce" is an excuse to hate it

Sullivan is a cute name, and not at all hard to pronounce.  He'll doubtless be called Sully a lot, that's a common nickname for Sullivan, and cute on a boy, so what's the big deal.  Are they saying "Sullivan Ray" is the part that is hard to pronounce (in other words, the glide from the n sound to the R)?  If so, no big deal, since people rarely get called by first and middle and last name all at once (unless it's by a mom who is mad, and she won't have trouble enunciating if so -- it would be Sullivan!  Ray!   Brown!  in that instance.)  lol

Thing is, a boy grows into his name and pretty soon it seems like the only name he could possibly have had.  Then, of course, he changes it when he gets to high school, or gets an indelible nickname (I know a Skip who is now 67).  

If your partner simply hates a name because he was tortured by someone with that name in grade school (unfortunately for me, my husband felt that way about Montgomery, which I rather liked), you do have to give in and find something else.  But if he's just being a little muley, wait, and he might get used to the name along with you.

I am dealing with the same problem too, although I don't know the gender I picked out a boys name (I'm confident its a boy lol) Everyone in my family thinks its a cute name and it's the only one that "feels right." But in his family everyone thinks it's hideous and hard to pronounce and that we MUST name "him" after my MIL's dad Ken. The name I have is Sullivan Ray Brown, it sounds so wonderful! All I have to say is stick to you your guns he is YOUR baby boy, you are carring him 9+months and giving birth so you get the right to name him.Don't let them have the power or else they may take advantage of it (in my opinion anyways) Good Luck w/figuring it out and congratulations on a beautiful baby boy! =]

What is the name? He can't judge the name if he did not help pick it out. My fiance and I had that same issue and I just told him "If you have a problem with it, please let me know because I don't want you complaining about it".
