My mother-inlaw keep suggesting my baby's girls middle name what yall think

So long story short I have decided to give my baby girl my mother's name as her middle name. My mother In law keeps suggesting I give her her name and her mums name that's just passed away. Which I feel so deeply sorry about and I always wanted to honour my own mum with my first daughter. My son has his dad's family's name as a middle name so it's only fair. He said she will be upset when she finds out what I've named my daughter. Has anyone experienced this? At this point I don't care whether she's upset or not you know why it's my kid.

Show your support

Over the years I’ve realised you don’t have do anything to upset people, you can’t control what is going to offend someone. Name your daughter Bob if you wanted to someone will have an issue but at least you will be happy with the name and also she could be your first and last daughter… you may have all sons after her. Xx

Leave her be upset. If she doesn’t get over it for the sake of her newborn granddaughter she’s not worth having around

My two have two middle names after both grandparents however considering your son has just one family name I don’t see why you need to do that.

You carried that baby for 9 months you get to name that baby whatever you want!!!

My MIL thought it was her place to suggest names for our baby. Nearly every day she'd send new names. I grew frustrated every day. Apparently with her kids, she let the grandparents help. But I didn't feel it was her place at all. I asked my husband to tell her to stop. Finally, I thanked her for her ideas, but we already picked a name and we'd surprise everyone once she was born. Like everyone said, you don't need to please anyone. Your mother in law has her opportunity as a mom to pick names. Its your baby, and she has absoltely no say. The only time id have a conversation is if it meant something to my husband. But it seems you guys already found a middle ground, and if he doesnt care, who cares! I'd wonder if she named her kids after any in laws!

My MIL gave a list of names we 'were not allowed to use' when I was pregnant 😂😂 sadly there were all girls names and I had a boy or I'd have been very tempted!

@Amy lmaoo how do in laws think they have the right! My MIL told me I couldn't pick dumb names and had to look up successful people and name her something like that 😂

I honoured my side of the family by giving my son and family middle name. I am married to my sons father so we all have his middle name and I'd like some family history to be remembered in his name 🤷‍♀️ seems only fair given that he has his father's family surname! Not your MILs decision is it! X
