My MIL hates our baby name...(vent)

Tiffany BoydTiffany Boyd
in 2nd Trimester
Let me first start out by saying that this is the same women who after having a granddaughter and grandson, literally asked her children to get fixed so that those are the only grandkids she has. Crazy I know. Anyway her grandadighter is my DD and is 6 and her grandson is my DH's brother named Aydan and he is 2. For 4 years this women doted in my DD and was even to the point that I wanted to move out of state because she was so controlling. Anyways 2 years ago her grandson was born and we literally only see her for about 2 hours once a month. This really is nice for me because she drives me crazy but now my daughter always asks why nana is with Aydan all the time and not her. Anyways we have decided to name this little guy Brayden. She absolutely hates it because it is too close to Aydans name! Ugh she makes me crazy sometimes. Ok end of vent. Thanks:)

    My mother STILL tells me that she doesn't like my son's name.  THREE YEARS LATER.  Get used to it.  She doesn't sound like a woman that lets things drop!

    And this is why you keep the name to yourself until L&D.

    Who cares what she thinks. She'll be dead soon enough, pick something you both like.

    Sounds like she's always got something to *** about.  I'm not telling anyone the baby's name until after it's born for fear of what you're dealing with.

    LOL we have no intention of changing it cause we both love it. If she is anything with this one like she is with DD then it won't matter either way because we never see them.

    This is why we aren't sharing the name until after the kid is born.  Too many opinions, even when I tell someone I'm even thinking of a name!

    Well Brayden and Aydan are pretty similar... Next time keep your name to yourself if you don't want to hear opinions. Sorry you have to deal with that.

    Sounds like your dd is better off without her in her life, as much as it sucks for your dd. I totally understand, my boys love my mom to death but she is such a flake that it's almost better to have her not around all the time.

     LOL!!! Hysterical...MIL and FIL like our boys name ok and my mom still insists we should name him Gable (which I love, but DH hated)...I'm sorry but I can't name my child something that his father HATES! As for our girl name, neither side is keen on it....suck it up and deal with it I say to them, you had your shot and both pairs of them chose BORING names as far as I'm concerned...

    ditto, that's why we're not sharing our name w/ anyone. It's too difficult to have everyone's opinions involved.

    If your daughter happens to ask why her grandmother spends so much time with her cousin and not her again, and it happens to be in front of your MIL, you should say, really loudly, "Well, honey, it's because your Grandma doesn't like anything that rhymes."

    This is exactly why we are keeping our baby names quiet until L & D.  I know some family members will have a problem with the boy name we have picked. I don't really want their opinions.

    Aw whatever... it's not about her anyway. If that's what you want, that's what you deserve. You are the one carrying this child for 9mos... She's had her time and she named her kids what she wanted. She'll be okay... Wink

    We aren't sharing our names either. We haven't found out what we are having yet (one more week!!). We let whoever wants to put their 2 cents in, go right ahead, but we aren't even giving a hint as to what the name will be.

    Sorry you are having such a hard time with the MIL. Good luck.
