Really upset - Mum and MIL are having a go at us.

I feel like just changing her middle name completely.

It took 7 years to become pregnant, so we probably won't try for another.

We thought it would be nice to honour both grandmothers, but only wanted her to have 1 middle name.

My mum is Julia, my MIL is Ariana.

We chose Juliana for her middle name...

We were so excited to tell everyone the name, thinking they'd be so excited. No, all we get is "you should have given her 2 middle names" "you've now used neither of our names" and obviously many more.

I'm just so upset.

I think both names are beautiful and I don't understand their reaction at all! I agree with one PP that if you change the name at this point you may always remember the drama of now.

I'm not sure what you should do beyond what makes you and your DH happy! I think it's sooooooooo rude to comment negatively on babies' names when it's up to the parents. Surely it's not difficult to smile and say "that's lovely"!

PS meant to say, you can be more fertile after having a baby, so don't rule out another one! x

I think Juliana is lovely

They need to pipe down

It's your baby, name them whatever you like!

Reading back over some of the posts in this thread- don't go changing her middle name of account of the grandmothers having a hissy fit.

What sort of precedence does this make for the future?

What did you decide OP?

I love the name Juliana - it's a beautiful and thoughtful any to honour both grandmothers. I think it's more beautiful than Olivia, although your father sounds now deserving!

Katherine Juliana is lovely. I think I'd stick with that.
