Thank you all for your opinions(:
Sorry but I don't see how using ur own middle name is gonna add fuel to the fire that makes no sense to me. It's ur daughter ur choice ur family even if you don't like jade it's obvious that one that first comes to mind is ur own middle name.. So if you don't use ur middle name just because ur worried about their reaction... Well you already chose not to go with jade so why let their opinion continue to influence you.. Just do what feels right to you :) Chelsea Michelle is beautiful
I think you should name your child what you want not what they want.
It is your baby your decision not theirs
I'm not saying it's uncommon -- my sister has my grandpa's middle name as a middle name, for example. I'm just saying that there is already some tension in the relationship with the in-laws; she doesn't feel like they have gone out of their way at all, to get interested or involved. And while they obviously don't have the right to tell her what to name her child, it would be kind of provocative to both ignore their suggestion (which they could probably live with) and to also go with a name so closely related to her own in the same move. Then it makes it a real thrown gauntlet. That's why I said there are tons of pretty other names that are not going to be so emotionally loaded.
Do what you want if you wanna use ur middle name for ur daughters nd it feels right do it!! You don't wanna regret it later :)
My parents named me and my brother with their middle names. i got her middle name and he got his. i also gave my first son my baby daddy's middle name. its actually pretty.common
I would not name her Jade if you do not want to, but I don't think I'd rub it in by using Michelle, since that is essentially naming her after yourself. I guess unless you think they would never find out your middle name. Anyway, point is, there are thousands of beautiful names for girls that are not Jade or Michelle. You might look for something like Celia or Calla if you like the C's. Cici is a cute nickname for someone whose initials are C.C.
I think you should name her what you want.. ur the mother n u have the right!
