...tell me various names and even TYPES of names (eg "I can't stand all this old fashioned Mabel business") that she doesn't like
I tried to shut her up and pointed out that in literally a few days I will be telling her the name of her new grandchild and if it turns out to be Mabel etc she will feel rather awkward
she said no she won't, because she knows we won't have picked anything like that, because she has already said that she doesn't like them
I said I wasn't actually keeping a list of what names everyone disliked and that funnily enough dp and I had picked names that WE liked
she says she won't feel awkward anyway, she thinks it is funny
the thought that it might be upsetting for ME in any way obviously not crossed the old mind
yes I am being precious but are these sensible or kind things to say to an overdue pregnant woman?
btw the type of girls name we like is definitely the Mabel sort So I am not just being hypothetical
