FIL is going to get mollywopped.

SLaBM2B · January 2013

I knew we shouldn't have shared the baby's name until the baby was born. My H called his Dad today to talk about a party we are having this weekend. His Dad, whom I normally LOVE, asked about the baby, and what we planned on naming him. My H told him we picked the name "Radley Quinn". His father said.. "you can't name a person THAT" And went on to say that he didnt like the name b/c it's a kiddy name and not a manly name.

WELL GUESS WHAT... I don't give a flying dingaling what you think and what your opinion is.. MATTER OF FACT, I will be SURE to tell your first grandchild that you don't like his name when he's old enough, you darn moron!

This is the SAME person who said, after we told him it's a boy and he's healthy: " Lily (his wife) is going to be so disappointed it wasnt a girl"

WHO SAYS THAT?!?!?! We just told you we are having a HEALTHY baby boy (per the A/S) and THAT is your reaction???? BITE ME BUDDY!

Sorry girls... my nerves are being worked today.

My MIL said something similar about a name we were throwing around a month or more ago. She said "I don't like that name." And I said "Well, I really don't care what you like." She at least had the grace to look slightly ashamed. Why is it ok to people to say things like that?? Say it behind my back all you want, but don't think it's ok to say it to my face.

That's why I don't think I'll tell people the names we pick out before the baby is born. I think it's easier for them to criticize it before the baby is actully here.

I know my family likes more unique names than DH's does and when DH told his parents my favorite girls name they just looked at me like WTF?

Oh well, your baby your choice and your FIL can stuff it.

I could see if I was naming the child Arizona Livingston JollyBalls or some sh!t.

NOW.. my damn H is sitting here saying that the other name we picked out Mason Asher is a better suited name. WELL GUESS WHAT... too late! I am not reverting to another name just b/c your Dad got into your pea sized mothereffing brain.

I just snapped and started crying. I know it's hormones, b/c I normally woudl let all this slide, but I dont feel lke putting up with this crap. NOT TODAY. I'm having a crappy day already b/c of my stupid mother.

When told our name choices my stepmother said, "Are you seriously going to name it , Vivien, if it's a girl?" I told her, "We love it. So, yes."

Well, if you're not using the middle name Jollyballs can I use it? It just goes so nice with my last name Big Smile

Seriously though, hopefully your H will stick to his guns and not cave because of his dad's opinion.

I only clicked on your post because I don't know what mollywopped meant. I still don't know what it means! I'm sorry your FIL has no filter. Its none of his business what you guys name your baby! Him, your MIL, your Mom and Dad... they all had their chance at naming their kids. This is the EXACT reason why we are keeping our son's name under wraps until he is born. The name we chose isn't the most common, but its a good strong name, and we LOVE it. I know for a fact that we'll get a side eye from my mom, and a few remarks from his side. I just don't care to hear others opinions on the name or what they think we should name our kid. A happy healthy baby is all they should be concerned about! Ughh.. some people! And sorry you are having a crappy day!

I'll never understand why people think their opinions matter on things like this. The only two that matter are yours and your H's.

I would never comment on someone's baby name - not to their face. After I might say something to DH like I don't really like it or I don't think I would name our child that but that is it.

Yah, we weren't going to share the name, but you know how that goes sometimes. We are having a boy, and H wants to name him after both of our fathers. His passed away almost 2 years ago. When my MIL asked about names (after she said she was happy it was a boy, as she would have been disappointed with another girl), she was upset that the baby "might be named after her jerk ex-husband". My H, "Yah, well that jerk ex-husband was my father, so suck it up cupcake." Ha. Garsh I love him.

I feel your pain, when my DH called his parents to tell them it's a girl his mom just said oh. Not congrats or I'm glad she's healthy. Then later tells me how much she wanted a boy to pass on the family name and how disapointed she was.

Ditto! Don't tell anyone else. For DD we didnt tell anyone until after. When my aunt was pregnant with a girl she told us she wanted to name her Tabatha, and my grandmother HATED that name. There was an unfortunate thing that happened to a local little girl named Tabatha shortly after my aunt said she would pick that name, so she chose another one. But it is your decision as parents.

campergrlsugar · January 2013

Honestly...when my mom named me Courtney (36 years ago not a common name) and my sister Taylor (28 years ago....again not a common name then)...my grandparents, aunt and everyone was like EWWWWW why would you choose that...(keep in mind my mothers name was Ursula....talk about a hate your child name LOL)...

They all now love my name and loved my sisters name....so just stick to your guns....name your child what you wish, and they honestly will not love them any less or care once that little one is here....you could name them Jaba the Hut and it would be a perfect name....

That being said, sorry your going through this...we are keeping our name choices to ourselves until LO arrives for this exact reason.. And i love the name you chose

My niece is named Vivien with that exact spelling. I didn't love it when I was first told, but it's grown on me so much and she is the sweetest baby! I hope your baby is a sweetheart too!!

sweetrhythms · January 2013

My mom keeps swearing that she won't have a thing to say about the name we pick in an effort to get us to tell ahead of time, but I'm not budging. I gave her some ideas of our general naming style and listed a whole bunch of reasons we aren't telling. She gets it now. I DID tell my BFF what we're thinking of and I actually sort of regret telling her. She didn't have anything bad to say or anything, I just wish I could have kept it to myself. I guess I got too excited.

LOL @ Mollywopped!

I will have to add this post to my favorites to remind me to keep our name a secret. Zip it!
