In laws complaining about name

[jmv143]

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.

I'm due May 8th and I wouldn't change my son's name for them or anyone else. Like you ladies said we are the ones carrying them and will be raising them so no one should have an input.

I had the opposite issue - my dad and my uncle don't like our son's name because it's too common. He's even named after my dad and our second son will be after my uncle! I have to say it could be worse, though. They just told me they didn't like it - they don't constantly rag on me for it.
I'm sorry you're going through this - just remember, he isn't their son. HE'S ALL YOURS :-)

My opinion is your in laws have nothing to do with the name. Choose the name you want for your child. I have only told you  ladies the name of my child plus my boyfriend. I could care less about what anyone has to say about the name. We well I decided im not telling anyone our name until I deliver

I like Keegan Maverick the middle name is very unique.

We're naming our little one Keegan Maverick. We haven't heard anything negative about his name. Other than a." Really...  why Keegan??" by my mom.. everyone loves it! We also made it very very clear that he's our son and we will name him what we please and if they don't like it then thats just too damn bad. lol. If Im going to carry him for months on end and raise him, I think as long as it's not a really out there name, I cant even see why anyone would think it weird haha

That's what I told my mother n law and she said 1. I wasn't even around and 2. She wouldn't have cared what I thought about her kids names. That's wen I told her that's exactly how I feel.
