So myself and my partner are undergoing IVF and we have just had our first (and only) embryo transfer. We are waiting to find out if the transfer was successful.
Myself and my parter have discussed baby names and have decided that if it's a boy, he will choose the name and if it a a girl I will choose. My partner is a different ethnicity and cultural background to me and has chosen a name that aligns with his culture if it's a boy. I'm not overly keen on the name, but it's not terrible. It's import to my partner so I'm happy to go along with it. No issues, anyway the name Ive chosen for a girl is a nice name that I feel is suitable for both baby, child, adult stages of life. My partner likes it too. Anyway the issue is my mother. She keeps making a point of saying how much she dislikes the name Ive chosen. As far as I can tell the only reason she doesn't like it is it's because it's the same name of my step dad's ex wife's Neice, it's quite a popular name and is not considered 'out there' or anything. It's honestly ridiculous. My mother has always been very critical of me and there is a part of me that feels I could of chosen any name and she would of made a point of telling me how much she disliked it.
Anyway, after the second time this week of telling me she doesn't like the name I've chosen and shaking her head at it, I snapped at her. I honestly do not care if she likes the name or not and quite frankly I'm not going to change my name choice.
I just don't know if I'm being overly sensitive. I'm on lots of hormones currently and I am quite sensitive and emotional. I feel a little guilty for snapping at her, but also feel I don't need her to tell me every time we bring up baby names how much she dislikes the name. Am I being overly sensitive about it?
