Do other adults decide whether children pick on other children over their name?

[LilQueenie]

We chose our baby names well before hormones took over and really thought it through. By this I mean a year before i conceived. There is one name which is highly unusual but the first girl is getting a fairly commonish name. However several of my partners co workers have said its not fair on her! Am I right in thinking that if an adult starts on about a name then its usually only then the children think its ok to bully a child? Shes not even born yet and I feel like telling them to fuck off. Willow Green is in our opinion a rather normal name. Opinions please.

It's going to be a quirky name combo but others have survived. Dh has taught an Aston Martin, Jack Daniels & P-e-a-c-h-y Tuft. People do like to comment on a name, on the occasions where you get laughter, negative comment or a joke you've heard 10 times before, you'll need to think of some gracious/witty responses that dd can emulate when she's older.

I really don't think it's a massive problem. There's nothing funny about Willow Green, it sounds a bit like a paint colour but then so do several names (Scarlett, Sienna, Amber, Jade etc). It's perfectly fine, IMO.

Plus you could buy her this
