So with DC1 we didn't tell anyone our name thoughts as we didn't want their opinion.

Unfortunately we've just been to MILs & DC1 let slip my favourite name for DC2 - Sebastian. Que her saying 'you can't call him THAT... people at school will nickname him bastard'

Erm... no, no they won't, fuming!!! Now she's put DH off no doubt. Can't believe she said it in front of DC either. She's not my favourite person at the best of times but today it's really riled me tbh.

Just wanted to rant!!!! Arrgghhh!!!!

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Sebastian is a lovely name! What a load of bollocks that he'll be called bastard . There would be a lot of 'bastards' about, in that case, as it's a very classic name.

Hope your DH ignores her. Silly comment from her.

What the actual hell...?
Sebastian is a lovely name. If anything it would be 'Seb' or I had a friend who had a child nicknamed him 'sebby'.
I refuse to let anyone shorten my ds name.
Don't listen or let her get to you.
