AIBU to find friends comment a bit low

[ItsLeviosah]

I was put last night at a party with the girls from work.
I’m on maternity leave.
I named my daughter something uncommon. I can’t say the exact name but let’s say she’s called “Bessie”.
The bitch from work said “oh how’s Bessie? Hmm Bessie, it’s such a marmite name you either love it or you hate it”. She definetly said it maliciously as she’s that kind of person.

24 hours on I’m more bothered by it and wish I’d said something.

Am I being silly for being annoyed?
If someone said that sentence about your kids name (if you picked a less used name) would you be bothered or brush it off?

Hmm...

Ignore. I had one of the employees in the local children and family centre ask my dcs name and she immediately said she hated it, all that did was make me think she was rude and rather unprofessional.

Just say 'oh, that's funny, everyone I know loves it'. And smile, nicely. That's what I do, anyway. DD probably does have a marmite name but actually she loves it, I love it, her dad loves it, it suits her, and everyone else can fuck off seeing as how it's none of their business. It's a real properly spelt name so just a matter of taste rather than a real 'that's not a name' issue. If you don't like it, keep it to yourself unless you have been directly asked. Anything else is just rude. I've got lots of friends who've named their children things I would not like and would never pick but as I am not a dick I just say 'oh, lovely, what a nice name'. And then internally shudder. But I keep it to myself because that is what polite people do.

Not reacting is probably the best thing you could have done. Ignore her. She is rude.

Someone's comment can only hurt you if you let it.
You like the name so that is all that matters, if she says anything again look her in the face and just say, that's not a very nice thing to say.
If you call her on things, she will stop saying them to you, as she knows you face up too her.

Well, it’s fab that you didn’t react because that’s what she wanted.

Ignore. She’s a cow.

Obviously rude of her, no question!

Get used to it. I don’t see anything wrong with what she said, it sounds as if it’s true.

If you have decided to pick an unusual or uncommon name it generally means not many people will like it compared to others.

File her under 'fuckwit' and don't give her a second thought.

How rude!
The only thing that is marmite is you work colleague.
I love unique names they always stand out. You and you partner like dds name and that all that matters.

I’d say I feel sorry, for any future children of yours, if they inherit your attitude! They won’t get far in life will they?
