To think it's not up to children what a new baby is or isn't called?

If you were choosing the name of your baby and your existing children hated it, would you change it?

My husband's children don't like the name we've chosen and regularly tell us such and have complained that we should choose something else.

We aren't changing it but AIBU to think most people don't put it down to a family vote when deciding names?

I think parents should choose the name. Having said that I wanted to call him a name that we'd never talked about. BUT unfortunately we registered him by ny name and then I really disliked the way DH pronounced the name, so we changed it as it was a name his older used to call him before he was born - so that was it. However it's caused him some bother over the years when it came to official matters etc.
