We have decided on Esmé for a girl and my mil just keeps offering alternatives.
I have brushed it off until now. She has asked countless times what we've decided on for a girl and every time we give the same answer she just looks disappointed. Were not definitely having a girl but If we do I don't know if she will ever get used to the name.
I don't want her to put me off but at the same time I wouldn't like to think she hated Dds name.

Esmé is a beautiful name.

It's your daughter, your choice!

turn around and say you have reconsidered Esme and will call her Ermintrude instead.

Stop talking to her about it. If she asks again just tell her that you're undecided. Once your daughter is named she'll suddenly find that she likes whatever name you've used.
