A few years ago I called my daughter Nia. My inlaws made it clear they disliked the name, they prefer traditional names. In my hormonal state I was hurt my their reaction to the name and it took the shine off the name for me.
Last week SiL had a baby girl. She has called her Mia. Everyone in the family keeps saying how lovely the name is. Nobody mentions that it’s almost identical to my daughter’s name and will be confusing when calling then both. And nobody has reacted like they did to Nia’s name by wrinkling their noses and suggesting Elizabeth/Alice/Emma instead.
I’m a bit upset but am prepared to be told I have no right to be. What do you think?
