Your baby's name...do "they" Like it?

So ive noticed from personal experience and from others stories that alot of the time family members dont agree with the name you picked out for your child. So what name did you pick...and what did family say about it? Did they like it or not?

I picked the name Brynlee Reese for our daughter my mom and step dad LOVE it...but my MIL and that whole side of the family hates it. They said its ugly and dont know why I would do that to my child. And that no one would be able to pronounce it anyway. They think I should have gone with the Name HARLEY instead.

LOL. They need to breathe. The my In laws don't know the name. my family does. and they like it. so iam content. The rest would have to take salt.

My parents think the name "Julien" isn't all that great. They like the name "Kai" (his middle name, which I love but didn't want to use as a first name because it's a bit too common nowadays). My sister and friends all tell me they love the name Julien though.

Gabriel is my sons name after my father and brother so yeah they liked it.

same here! my family loves the name we picked out (Lorelai Adele) but his family HATES it. my MIL wants us to name her Dakota....yeah....she thinks Lorelai is too "girly" but i have made it really clear that i could care less about what she thinks! and she keeps calling her Lorelee, and it's pissing me off already, she's had 4 months to learn it. i think Brynlee is very pretty, and it's different!

i don't have that problem but everyone wants to call her annie claire when her name is Aysnley Claire. i tell them no you can call her aynsley or claire. no annie or ann, or anything else. i like the name you picked out

why wouldnt we be able to pronounce it??? are we all gramatical morons?

looks and sounds fine to me.

I've decided to name my son Jett Damien and my brother thinks I should have named him Jett Danger. i think thats a little too comic book for me tho. haha. my parents were asking me about it and if i was seriously gonna name my kid that, i said yeah. and they just kinda laughed and said okay. it was lighthearted tho.. not like they were laughing at my name choice. but more like they were laughing because my brother says he refuses to call him anything but Jett Danger. which is fine by me. he can have a badass nickname, who cares.  

i picked Hanako... at first.. cuz i just love that name... but even aaron didnt want it... so i changed it to Arianna.

*Shrugs*

we picked the name Colton Thomas for our boy and everyone on both sides of the family really like it..we really lucked out
i think the name you picked for your daughter is adorable!

are they bikers or something? i personally think harley is a stupid name for a baby. i know a couple harleys and i feel bad for them. thats the exact reason we didnt tell anyone our baby name until later in the pregnancy, and i started with, "this is the name we chose, and if you dont like it kep your comments to yourself" then told them the name. they all liked lylian, but then tried to get me to alter a little and do like lylia instead or lilah. i was like what did i just say, THIS IS THE NAME WE CHOSE! and they all shut up, and if they dont like it, well theyre at least dealing with it.

Quoting [mshell] Due tomorrow...:“ same here! my family loves the name we picked out (Lorelai Adele) but his family HATES it. my MIL wants ... [snip!] ... Lorelee, and it's pissing me off already, she's had 4 months to learn it. i think Brynlee is very pretty, and it's different!”

Awe thanks!! And correct me if im wrong but dont you pronounce it the same was as in Gilmore girls..the moms name?

Ok the name we picked out is Hazday Brax, my mom and sisters love it his whole family hates it and thinks we are just "kidding" about naming him that, umm wake up call ppl we have his name hung up in his room what about that makes you think we are kidding?

This is the exact reason I dont not announce Caydens name to anyone until after he was born so noone could talk me out of it or give me their unsolicited opinions. Until 4yrs later I am just finding out that dh told the mil before his birth but that is a whole nother arguement we wont start again today!

Our son will be Liam Parker.

My parents and sister HATE IT. My MIL and FIL, HATE IT. The in-laws think it sounds like a girls name. And my parents...just don't like it.

But I love it, and so does my husband. That's all that matters.

oh.. and being single the whole pregnancy - i do not have to deal with inlaws opinions on anything!

thats one upside...
