Annoyed

It's your child so your choice. So it doesnt matter what other people you will always come across people that don't like your name choice but at the end of the day it's up to you what you call your child

I'm sorry that happened to you. It's definitely rude and I'm always surprised that so many people still make comments like that. We were worried about that happening so we didn't share our name until it was already on official paperwork. We could tell some people thought it was odd, but they kept it to themselves because it was too late lol. Our son's name is Elias.

We got a lot of pushback for ours, so if we have a second one, I’m not telling anyone until they’re born. Not worth the annoyance.

I'm guessing she doesn't like your pick because it wasn't common in her era. If you wanted to be nice, when you're in front of other family, tell them you considered whatever she suggested but ultimately settled on the name you chose. If you wanted to be mean, bring it up again and tell her you aren't considering names that are so old-fashioned.

That happen to me, my daughter be here in a few days and a neighbor also in her 80s ask me what I was naming her & when I told her she said didn’t like it, I just politely said “good thing she’s my daughter…and her name have a meaning” I was annoyed too but there’s always gonna be someone who doesn’t agree/ like the decision we make

@Amanda omg sorry I just had to reply to you haha, I loveeee that name!!

Thanks ladies glad to see I’m not the only one

Ignore it. I told my aunt my soon to be daughter’s name this week and she loved it but immediately suggested another middle name and I just kept talking. It’s your choice! They don’t even get a say so it’s not for them to like. But annoying, I get it.

@chantelle Thank you! ☺️

Don’t tell anyone the name until after the birth.

Oh people always have so many opinions. Don't worry about her... plus she's 80

She’s allowed to her opinions but you’re allowed to say, “no thank you.” 😊
