Partners family crossing a line about our baby’s name.
I don’t know if I’m being a bit over sensitive/dramatic.
My baby will be having my partners surname, and his family have chosen the middle name - it’s tradition in their family for the first born son to have a particular middle name - I don’t really like the name but I agreed because it’s important to them.
I have chosen a first name I really love and my partner has agreed to it because he already has the middle and surname, but his family hate it and are trying to convince me out of it. They keep telling me it’s a horrible name and are trying to push other names on me that I don’t like. I’ve tried to explain why I like the name but they just won’t stop and accept it. I’m finding it quite rude and it’s beginning to hurt my feelings. It feels like they don’t care about me having any input in my son’s name at all.
Am I overreacting.. should I just ignore it, should I say something to them or should I consider changing the name since everyone seems to hate it so much?
