Parents hate baby name (Susie)

[13umpuu]

After a week of um/ah OH and I finally decided to call DD2 Susie Florence.

On telling my folks my dad asked - where did that come from?!? Is it your final decision? My mum said straight out she doesn't like it and that she'll call the baby Flo (I only picked Florence after her constant pestering! I actually prefer Mia or Rose as a middle name)...

Anyway they both want me to change my mind and I'm really upset. Is it such an awful name?!? And what should I do now - OH is v annoyed at the thought of changing it, he loves it and thinks they're being mean to me! And we've found it hard to agree. Alice has been a contender and I know my parents would prefer it but I couldn't get the 'who the is Alice' song out of my head!

Am up feeding not just fretting, but this is really on my mind - any advice?!?

Really do not like the name Susie and I have good reason. Give her a full name, not an abbreviation.
When you ignore me, think of it as good practise for ignoring your mother. She needs ignoring in this case. Your baby, your choice of names.

How about Susannah Mia?

Apologies, didn't read the whole thread. I've never apologised for that before...Congratulations on Susie Florence!

Agree with the others none of your mother's business what name you choose.

However, i would suggest having Susanna or the like on the birth certificate.
As others have said Susie is a very sweet name, very cute for a little girl. I know someone who has that name and it undermined her in her serious job to the point that she eventually changed her name.
YMMV just food for thaught.
