In laws complaining about name

Is anyone else's in laws giving then crap about what you have decided to name your baby. Mine are, I told them why do they feel the need to put their inputs and they said because it's a weird name that we need to name our son Miguel or something more common lol. I told them just because we are hispanic does not mean we have to give our kids hispanic names. They think we are wrong about that. My grandma (who adopted me so I call her mom) was born in Mexico and she's not even complaining about the name she likes it because it's not a common name. I'm just over hearing their crap. He is our child and will have the name we give him.

My mil has the worst taste in names who names there son Jose Maria so she has no input and I let her know that she wanted me to name my Lil girl Salem? ?? But her name will be Bailey and I've had my girl names picked before I met her son and he knew that when we started talking about kids I had delany first and now girl #2 is bailey and I'm done!
Ur mil and whoever else is cray cray if they think they get a opinion cause there not going to be screaming it when the kid is bad or won't get out of the toys at McDonald's so it's so up to u mamma!

Mine dident give me crap about it they just told me they wish I would of picked out simething a little more easy for my mother In law who is in mexico. Im naming my son Ian Andres. Ian just because ive always love that name and Andres after his dad. So when they started saying how it was going to be hard for my mother in law to remember it. My husband jumped in and said it wasent a problem she could just call him.by his second name. And they havent said anything since. My family in the other hand love the name ian. Is simple and cute.

My in laws have big opinions about everything and yet they won't even come visit their grandkids. Last pregnancy my mother in law wouldn't talk to my hubby for 5 months because he told her to shut up about the name. So this time around we told her we're naming the baby Gidget and get over it. She cried. I think its hilarious because in reality we still don't have a name picked out. But I also don't have the stress of her calling twice a week with a list of suggestions. It was always the same ones and on the list of 10, 7 of them were some form of Lexi or Alexis.
