To tell them their baby name options aren’t great?

I know I should be used to it by now, but I am still surprised by how easily shocked and outraged some of the nervous Nellies posting on here are when confronted with, really very normal, baby names. Anything more unusual than John or Jane seems to be greeted by the most bizarrely unnecessary pearl-clutching!
As I commented previously, I would strongly advise against sharing your baby name with anybody until baby has arrived and the name is a fait accompli to avoid having everyone and their dog sticking their oar in and trying to talk you out of your chosen name. There is not a single name which everyone will like. Someone will always have been to school or worked with someone with that name who was horrible or have some other esoteric association with the name that they will claim will be universal, even if it specific to them and is very much their own personal problem.
The number of posters on here banging on about the film Gigi, released in 1958, is very amusing to me. The idea that this will be the first cultural reference that will occur to the majority of people on hearing the name Gigi now is a bit silly given that this film was released many years before most of today's kids' grandparents were even born! That this is the most contemporary cultural reference point for the name Gigi for multiple posters on here says a lot about the demographics of contributors on these threads and might go some way to explaining how out of touch so many seem with pretty commonplace baby naming trends.
As for the posters claiming children with, again, completely unremarkable names, will be bullied at school and will never be taken seriously in the workplace, I really don't know what to say other than that you must live in an extremely insular and reactionary environment which is really quite sad.
In short, MN would be the last place I would come for sensible or rational baby naming opinions! It's depressing that there's a whole section of the site dedicated to this topic. However, maybe it could be useful, if your suggested name causes a mass fit of the vapours to break out amongst MN posters then it's probably a good one!

It’s their child not yours, mind your business. My MIL would know what would happen if she gave her opinion.

They're not ridiculously bad. Come hang around my DD's school & listen to some of the names. More than once I've had to stop my myself saying 'what now?' to their 'unique' names.

Flipping awful names! What is the matter with people saddling their kids with ridiculous monikers like that? They are nicknames, not real names.

I don't blame you for disliking the names but - as others have said - nothing you can do, say nothing, stay out of it. You'll get used to it.........in a few years.

Those names are very popular right now. Ziggy is also having a moment. I don't dislike any of them.

My DD (7) has a Gigi in her class. It’s a lovely and, contrary to your view, very well “established” name. One of Colette‘s novels is called Gigi.

Tiggy I also like, though agree it’s more of a nickname. But it’s not so outlandish as to be weird.

Even if they wanted to call her Tinkerbell I’d keep my mouth shut, if you want a decent relationship with them and your grandchild.

Shame they dont have your genius foor giving names.
Neither of these is awful really, I have known two Gigis and both are adults and didnt face grief because of their names.
Im glad you decided to butt out of this, please stick to this decision- unless you wanna be an object of "MIL criticises my baby name" thread some months down the line.

Do you mean you are regarding Ella as a diminutive? That's been a regular name for many many years. I knew an Ella who would be about 100yo now.

@Bungle2168 yes she got that joke a lot.

@Ellase I don’t think Gigi will be mispronounced tbh, it’s fairly popular. You really cannot and should not say anything, believe me. All the posts on here from ppl whose parents did comment show that I think.

If I'd used the name every time my dad would sing (in a bad French accent) 'Thank heavens for little girls....they grow up in the most delightful way.' 🤣But only that as he doesn't know any more lyrics. That would be enough to put me off. Although I think it's quite a sweet name.

Nail it. 100%

Their child... their name. Period. Butt out.

Gigi is ok but I fear it would be a lifetime of correcting British people on the pronunciation. I have images of it becoming giggy or gee gee with a hard G.

Not even sure what Tiggi is a diminutive of but it’s terrible. I’d just sway them towards Gigi because it’s the better of the two.

OK, they're both awful names and I'd think they were nicknames if I were introduced. However, their baby, their choice. If they love them, you'll get used to it. Tiggy is the better, if I had to choose between them.

Actually Ada is how it was always spelt when it was popular in the 1930's. Ayda is the 'younique' spelling.

My GC has a diminuitive of a few names (Ella), but I don't mind it as a stand-alone . I don't think any negative comments would have been appreciated and wouldn't have changed their minds. I arent keen on either of those names, still aren't convinced commenting would be the welcomed.

I was going to say that staying quiet is likely the very best option.

I've heard the names. Oh goodness, they aren't to most people's taste...

Probably best to still stay quiet for the sake of the relationship.

Are you sure they aren't pulling your leg?

This is the weirdest shit I have read on the internet today, and that's saying something.

There's an influencer on Instagram- super posh/rich. Her daughter is Gigi. It actually really suits her and it's grown on me as a lovely name. However, I do think it's short for Georgina.

There's not much you can do OP. Anything you say - it just won't go down well.

What century are you working in? Neither of these names would raise an eyebrow in my workplace now, let alone in 20 years.

I had a cousin called Gigi (full name Giselle) who, as a child, gave herself a nickname that stuck,

Agree Tiggi does sound like a cat's name and (to me) Gigi could be a pony or horse - sounds like gee-gee

Do you know that other ‘news’ sites pick up posts from here and repost them all over social media? Your son and DIL my not be on here but they will be on other sites

Whilst it’s not your place to say anything you definitely should recommend they use “ziggy wiggy” as a middle name.

Yeah, they are pretty bad, especially Tiggy/Tiggi - why would you choose a name that could rhyme with Piggy? As a nickname it’s slightly different but as a given name imo, unless she is the slimmest girl ever it’s just asking for trouble at school. I wonder if there’s a subtle way to point that out like “Oh I’ve just remembered what Tiggy reminds me of… probably just me being silly but I hope it never causes any problems -you know what kids can be like”.

Gigi really isn’t my personal taste (sounds like a Cabaret dancer stereotype) but there were nearly 70 of them born in E&W last year and the name is rapidly increasing, probably thanks to Gigi Hadid. So I can’t see the name would cause their DD any issues these days. Horses for courses.

Were her parents Fred and Wilma?

You've named your offspring. Let them name theirs
