Family hate my favourite name on short list.

We have made the mistake of sharing our shortlist with close family and one particular name we like we either get turned up noses or other suggestions. I know it is our baby and we can name them what we like however when we announce the birth and name I would like people to like it and not think negatively. My husband doesn't care what people think but I am having a wobble and thinking of using the name as a middle name instead. Did anyone do this and regretted it?

Don't worry about it. If you love the name, you'll regret not using it.

Unless they have reasonable objections you shouldn't reconsider.
