Family don't like babys name

Anyone else have to deal with close family not liking the name you have chosen for your first born child? I knew my family wouldn't like it, that's why I took 4 days to announce it to them to make sure I really was sure once he was born but it really did hurt when your only sister says exactly how she feels about it, then kept going on about, can't believe that's his name, all the names and you choose that one. It's a chavy name. Not sure if it was hormones but i ended up crying over it.

When we started telling people the name we’ve picked for our little boy, there was a lot of funny looks and a lot of words like “unusual” thrown about, and at first it really annoyed me but I’ve just reached a point now where I honestly don’t care what people say, that’s his name and whether they like it or not that’s what we’re calling him. That’s the name you’ve chosen for your little one, I’m sure it’s lovely and I’m sure it fits him perfectly, whether they’re family or not sometimes other people’s opinions are just irrelevant, some people really just need to grasp the concept that if you don’t have anything nice to say..it doesn’t need to be said 💙 I hope you’re recovering well and big congratulations on your baby boy❤️

This happened with our daughter (she’s 2 now). Only my in laws hate her name (Mia). They told me before she was born that it’s the only name on my list they didn’t like. We still chose the name as we love it. They brought it up during a recent argument saying they hated it then, still hate it now. I’m now no contact with my in laws due to a big fall out with them about their disrespect of my parenting (they’ve always insulted our parenting and disrespected us).

And this is why you never ever anounce your babies names. people are so weird. Family feels entitled to help make decisions for you and you just have to put your foot down and let them know this is your child not theirs. 🥴 Till this day when people ask me if I have a name picked out I tell them I don’t, when I in fact do😗

Bugger what they think your choice no one else’s

I don't give a fuck what others think 🙌🏼😆 I mean what a waste of time. You are the mum, it is your decision and nobody got any right to comment on it. It is sad your close fam don't have the decency to just be optimistic and compliment on your birth and be helpful 😑😑 Forget what they think!
