has anyone else had problems with in laws or family members ruining a name you have picked out? we had the name Athena Skye picked put long before I got pregnant but my mother n law insists that Athena sounds like a dyke, butch, or Amazon warrior name. anytime the name comes up she says something negative and also refuses to call the baby that. she said she will call her Skye because it's more girly... I have a problem with that and there's a family member named Skylar. we wanted to stay away from having the same or similar name as anyone in the family.. so now we are trying to find another name... I know I shouldn't let her dictate what we do but she has never once said anything positive about the name and now I just don't even want to deal with it.
it's not her baby, tell her she has to call the baby Athena and that she has to stop being so rude, its your choice what you name the child. she has no say in it.
tell her to stuff it. Athena is a beautiful name and if you and your hubs agreed on it, it is none of her concern.
yeah we even read the mythology and all that. I love the stories being the names. thank you guys @brinleysmommy @may4jessie @tiffanigypsy8
they wanted to change my sons name but my bf and I spoke about names before I got pregnant. remember its your baby not theirs you can name rhe baby anything as long as it feels right to you
Sometimes you just get to the point where you stop sharing. I listen to opinions, but I realize everyone isn't going to agree on a name. It's your decision.
