There are so many thread of "It's up to the parents" regarding names and so it is, but this is a plea for consideration. We have a son in law from a different culture and our newly born grandchild has been given three names, two from his Indian culture and a name which is Greek in origin. We are a Celtic family and that tradition is present in all our names.
When my daughter told us the proposed name I pointed out that nothing represented our heritage. This was greeted with hysterics about spoiling her happiness in the name she had chosen. She did not offer to include another name and has gone ahead with her choice.
We are privately beyond upset. The feelings of being rejected run deep when we thought we had such a close loving family relationship. Of course we are getting on with it, but deep down we are devastated with sadness.
