So today my Mum told me if I call my DD the name I like it will not be allowed at her house .

LOve the name Violet
Violet Elsie Lydia is beautiful

YOur mother is acting bonkers.
My Momspeant weeks trying to talk me out of my choice (Thea) and to have Imogen instead (a lovely name but we know of an Imogen and that Big Brother series with Imogen had just been on). I had DS2 anyway! But I was very upset by her obviously not liking my choice.

I do not like the name Violet

BUT your mum was way out of order!

ok if she doesnt like your choice,she can say ,but not in such a nasty way !

Violet is gorgeous.
Unlike your mum.
(Work on the veg thing though, defoo.)

Love Violet.

Dd's middle names are 'Elsie Rose' so, of course, I'm biased

Think Hectate summed it up pretty well!
Maybe if you are worried about the VEG thing switch the two middle names around. DON'T lose the Grace, its a beautiful name (I am biased as my gorgeous DD aged 2 is Grace)
Your mum surely has to be joking?

I should make my message clearer- I am expecting another baby (DS2) ATM.

Sounds like your mum is sulking because she wanted to pick the name (Daisy). I don't think GPs have a right to do so (they named their own children) and it will be her loss if she follows through her threat.

I was expecting some ridiculous name that she could have taken offence at, but Violet is lovely.

I don't worry too much about initials either. Our DD (including surname) is KLF which we thought was quite funny and only those people of our generation would even know the KLF anyway!

When i told my mum we were thinking of Charlie for a boy, she didnt like it at all ("proper Charlie" and all that) and she then said "well we'd better hope its a girl then!". It's not lol, but we still haven't chosen the name for sure yet.

It's a lovely name and your mum sounds unhinged I'm afraid.

Can you change the order so it doesn't spell Veg?

I added a name in for my DS1 so he wouldn't have the initials CJD!

6 kids though...respect

pmsl at geepers ....sorry

Violet is a lovely name. We will be naming our dd Violet Rose in about 12 weeks time so Im really pleased I read this thread as it has made me feel even better about the name. My SIL and Mother think its lovely name but my father, FIL and MIL all detest the name so it had made me a little worried what other people would think. In fact when we told MIL her reply was well I will just call her Jessica (which is the name that was under discussion previously!

Sounds like she is trying to bully you into doing what she wants.

Violet is a lovely name

Lovley name - but agree with flippimg middle names around. My mother sais that she would'nt babysit I had another DC - guess what I am.

I think Violet is a lovely name.

My Mum didn't like the name we chose for our ds, but I decided I didn't need her approval at my age and she's had to get used to it! Stick with Violet!

It's a great name - really love it.
I don't get why people get so stressed by what initials spell, I doubt if anybody apart from the parents ever make the connection.

Better than Vag !

There's nothing wrong with your names and your mum needs to grow up!

I have compelled my mother-in-law to admit (as I suspected) that she wasn't too keen on dd1's name. Like the sensitive adult that she is she knew it was none of her business and kept quiet. Now of course she loves it!

When i called my ds Wilfred and rang my Mum to tell her there was such a long silence on the phone i thought we had been cut of then i could hear her saying "iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii i'll have to get used to that name" I replied "yes you will Mum" and not another word has ever been said!!

blimey your mother is cer-azzzy. my grans name was violet and its so so pretty. wish so much we had called dd that name. think you should try and avoid the VEG initials tho if at all possible

don't worry about it - she's trying to excerise a bit of control!

My dad said he would never call my ds by his name and called him baby for quite some time, I also similiar with the in laws with my dd's name when they called her by a completely different name for a few weeks Best just to ignore it - she will come round - just make her feel like she's being really pathetic and immature is my advise!!

'result' then maybe?
if she's that vile maybe it's good excuse not to visit!

it is a nice name,
and no problem with veg, she will have a surname after that so, for eg. vegb

how many times do you say the initials anyway?

I gave my dd1 the middle name ELISE an anagram of my grandmother's name ELSIE

bung in a further name- violet rose elsie grace

won't hurt a soul

and tell your Mum she's out of order

Ignore your mother, but do change around the middle names to prevet VEG.

It was my mum's name so that would have been a very understandable odd thing for her to have said (She hated it) But, it's tres trendy now (Corrie barmaid, Incredibles) so of course your mum's mad.
