We currently have a daughter named Liana June and are having such a hard time with a name for baby sister. We tentatively agreed on Maya Lynn-not that I should care what people think, but I'm hormonal- but my mother made such a stink about the name. She hates it. She says it means "netting" in Spanish (that word is spelt malla, so she's technically incorrect). She's also the caretaker while I'm at work, so it's not like she's hundreds of miles away. She won't let it go and it's giving me major anxiety.
I'd appreciate other suggestions that sound ok in Spanish. I want to love the name and not feel like I'm settling. Other names we discussed, but didn't love were: Natalie, Nadia, Callie, Emily, Alyssa, Ellie.
Thank you in advance!

Exactly why I won't share names with family until baby comes. It's harder to hate a name once it's attached to a baby!
FWIW, I love the name you chose and if you love it, go with it. You don't want to regret it.
A big part of the reason I don't love any other name is because I'm stuck on Maya. I'm definitely not going to settle.
I'm just so upset because I literally started with "We don't want any opinions. We picked the name and we're her parents." I started to tell her that she had plenty of time to get used to it and she cut me off to tell me that I had plenty of time to change it!!! WTF. I feel like she's trash-talking to family. It's so messed up.
Just call me CC.
I think I don't love the names because I'm stuck on Maya. They're all perfectly nice and our style, it's just not AS nice. I hate feeling like I'm getting bullied into settling.
Just call me CC.
