just a little vent i guess

No one in my family is going to call my daughter by her first name, everyone wants to call her by the middle name we picked out. it makes me so mad, if i wanted her called logan i would have made it her first name instead of her middle name. I had bascially the same problem when i was pregnant with my son, NO ONE but me liked the name i had picked out so everyone started telling me i should name him differently so i named him what they liked and the still don't call him the right name. the keep calling him josh, it's not that hard to add an extra syllable to the end and call him the right name!!! it drives me crazy when people call my son josh, i didn't name him josh i named him joshua. and now people are "nicely" saying that there going to call her logan instead of the first name we picked out, my grandmother even told me to change her name so logan was her first name because she liked it better. sorry if this makes no sense it just makes me so mad that what i want doesn't seem to matter to anyone, i mean I'M the one who's body she's coming out so shouldn't they respect the fact that I have the right to name her what i want?  

start calling them by their middle names? lol
that must be so frustrating... what is your daughter's first name?

hmmm... that is mighty annoying, and rude. Change her middle name? Or just tell them you did? Or put your foot down and tell them straight up no. If my family told me what they were going to call my child I would tell them to go shit in their hats. Or start calling all of them by their middle names---just tell them you like it better.

Name your kids what you want to name them. Did you try talking to your family about the whole middle name situation and how it bothers you?

We are naming our baby William and calling him Will and my Mom threw a big fit and wanted me to name him Edward. Cole or Wilson. I told her no, then she said I will call him Willy and I told her no you will call him Will or not speak to him at all. All you have to do is say I am giving birth you will call her by said name and if you don't want to then you don't have to see her. 

even my fiance isn't planning on calling her by her first name even though he picked it out!!! he wants to call her logan, he says he still wants to name her the same first name but that makes no sense to me. I'm trying to avoid anyone "stealing" her first name thats why i'm not posting it, it's extremly uncommon but it's a really pretty name and our son already says that thats his baby sisters name so i don't want to change it.

no one trys to call anyone elses kids in my family there middle name our some other name, just mine

i know this sucks but...you could always change her name. don't name her logan if they wanna call her that so bad and you don't...maybe use like a family name for a middle name. IDK? i would be pissed too though. maybe you could just not respond if they call her that, that'd be pretty funny. OR maybe you could call them something they don't want to be called (example)- if the grandmother wants to be called Me-Me or whatever call her Maw-Maw or Granny lol. maybe then she'll see how it feels!!!

I would just tell them if you wanted to name her Logan you wouldnt have given her that name as the middle name. I know how it is to be called by your middle name your WHOLE life. Sadly there are ppl in my family on both sides who have no idea what my first name is  The only time i get called by first name is while im at work, and by friends...Once they get older it can be a bit confusing for them too b/c i remember being 5 in kindergarten not knowing what i wanted the teacher to call me..lol

they know it bothers me, i've explained millions of times that if i wanted them called something else i would have named them it, but no one seems to care they insist on calling them what they want

I would put my foot down and correct them everytime they said it or call them by their middle name, which is hopefully something horrible they hate

we were only naming her logan because my fiance likes it, but he also picked out her first name. he even wants to call her logan, so i'm out numbered. i would feel bad if i changed her middle name, plus i can't think of anything that would sound good with the rest of her name that they wouldn't want to call her by. at one point i was going to give her josephine as a middle name just so no one would call her it.

I am curious about the name you have picked I am having a boy will you pm me the name? And my sister named her little girl and wanted everyone to call her something completely different. Her name is Maggie Catherine and she wanted us to call her Katie. It was confusing and by the time we got used to it she decided that she would rather call her Maggie and confused the baby. Maybe you should not call your family members by their first names just to prove that it sucks.

there middle names aren't that bad:faye(my grandmothers middle name), nicole(my sisters) and my fiance already goes by his, he didn't even know his first name till he was 8

Just call her by the name you want her to go by. When she's old enough, she will correct them herself if they call her by the wrong name.

i'm afraid she'll be confused since only two people wwould be calling her one name and everyone else would be calling hera different one
