hi,
just wondering how much people take other's opinions on boards when picking names? DH and I were pleased to have picked a potential name for our first baby, if it's a boy (Leo) which we both love. MIL has been extremely vocal, asking are we joking, saying we couldn't possibly be serious etc, she doesn't like it at all, and sent FIL round to ask we not use the name.
She does suffer with depression and sometimes says things other people would not say, so I'm trying not to take this personally . But I really don't want to pick a different name, as we love it. I'm presuming she will just get used to it. Is that what most people would do under these circumstances?
