Feeling offended!!

Ok this is just something I need to write as it is really playing on my mind.
I'm currently pregnant with my third DC and at a family dinner at my mums house yesterday we were discussing baby names. When I happily mentioned what I was planning to name this baby if it turns out to be a girl everyone was saying how lovely a name it was but then my Nan turns to me and says "people will laugh at her with a name like that."
The rest of the family told her that they thought it was a nice name but I feel really upset and offended by this. (Maybe I'm just hormonal and overthinking)
But AIBU to think if you don't like someone's chosen baby name you should keep you're mouth shut?
It's been really playing on my mind because I feel she's picking at the tiniest things about my pregnancy, my sister is also pregnant and she doesn't do this to her, in fact she seems to favour my sister over me. Had my sister mentioned what names she has chosen my Nan probably would have said how lovely they were or something.
Sorry, just kind of needed a rant I guess, need to get it off my chest, even if no one replies.

Morning folks. Just popping by with a reminder that we aren't keen on casual ageism on Mumsnet. We can see people are just trying to be supportive of the OP, but if you could avoid making generalisations about older people at the same time it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
