angry mommy to be rant

It was a while before I even told my husband what I was naming the boys. I did not want his family to even think that they were going to have any say in the names. I think your childs name is a very sentimental thing. To this day my inlaws do not know what the boys 1st names will be. I made my husband take an oath not to say anything. His father (which I love because he minds his own business) gave them their middle names and so that is all that they know. Shucks...if you wanted to name your boy Ocean that's your business and your call. They will get used to it. River is very unique (I like!!) and my friend just named her son Alexander. :grouphug:

 

They had their chance to name their kids and now its your chance. To be honest my now x gma in law said the girls names were n***** names. In those words. It did not help that the girls had really nappy hair at birth. (We have quite a genetic mix. I my self think it was the curly hair mixing with the indian genes{tomahawk not a dot})

You know what?

F your inlaws. This is your family. They had their chance to name their children.



Ditto for me. I like the names.

 

tell them both that that is your childerns name and if they cant reffer to them by there names than dont reffer to them
we had ares try to change the spelling of our daughteres name and change the other as i was filling out the birth records
those are awesome names andthey have meaning to you guys so stick to it.
my daughters are aurora & caera (said keera) the spellin has adifferent meaning which means alot to us
everyone else said thats dumb she will always be correcting people.
we said than she will always remember why we choose it

they hve no say in what YOUR childerns name are. river will never be forgotten as would a plain name
good luck i love the names

 

I think River is a cute name!! My MIL did the same thing.When I had my second daughter we wanted to name her Anna and my mother in law told me that there were too many A names in the family and we could not name anymore with an A.Well luckily I decided on Krislynn(which is unique) and at least she shut up.When I told them I was having twins her and my SIL made a list of names out that they liked and told me I had to pick off that list because they were the"best names"I told her to F off !! lol

 

I'm sorry! I really like the names you have picked out too! My mil is the SAME way, she is dying to know what the boys will be named but it's b/c of her we're not telling anyone. She even made a comment last time that we weren't telling anyone the names b/c the gramma's would stick their noses up at them. Well maybe SHE would but I've secretly already told my mom

 

I like your names they are really pretty I had the same reaction to all 3 of my boys names the whole family wasn't on board !!! but all that matters is that you like the names you have picked .. they are strong names

 

Yesp, we never told anyone either. We wanted something to be a surprise, because the genders were know. And I didn't want any "ooohhh i don't like that" either.

 

I'm sorry she is giving you a hard time. They are your children to name and you and your DH should pick out names you are happy with. I wouldn't worry about it, once the cute baby boys are here any worry about their names likely won't matter anymore.

 

You poor thing! No matter what names you choose, someone wont like them. We chose Ella and Cali for our girl names, and Tyler and Brice for boys, and my MIL doesnt like Ella or Brice, and said, "How about something like Jamie and Jessie?" Um, how about NO? hahaha.

Try to laugh it off. The bad part is that they told you they wont call him by his first name..GET A GRIP I would tell them.

Many of times I dont like certain names, we all have different tastes, but come on, its not like you are naming them Sh*tH**d. Sorry for the swear...but its not a mean name, so people need to back off. IMO

 

We've chosen to call our new baby Noelle. Our sons are Evan and James. My grandparents said they didn't like "Evan" (they're in England and very traditional) but now that they know our son they brag about what a lovely name he has! Nobody in my family likes the name Noelle. I don't care! I think it's pretty. I just say, "You'll fall in love with Noelle the minute you lay your eyes on her." and I know I'm right. Name choices are very personal. I guess this is why lots of people keep their name a surprise?

Just let it roll off your back! If they say anything negative just say, "Name choices are so personal, aren't they? I know you'll adore River the minute you see him." and if they ask to call him some other name say, "That would be odd - what if I started calling you some random name that wasn't yours? I think we should stick to River. I just love it!"
