So today my Mum told me if I call my DD the name I like it will not be allowed at her house .

[ComeWhineWithMe]

I think she is joking sort of but she was really vile to me today in front of a few of our relatives and said well if you call her that she will not be coming to my house and I'm taking back the outfit I bought her,she made herself look stupid tbh because everyone looked at her like she was a loon.

I haven't even decided on it but we really like he Violet but want the middle names Elsie Grace (yes I know they spell out VEG) but we wont really use Elsie it is just down to the fact that my Grandma has around 18 GC and GGC and noone has used her name and I do think it is a pretty name .

She has no issues with Grandma so thats not it just the fact she is a control freak and wanted me to call the baby Daisy .

Is it a really vile name it's not is it and I realise her initals spell out Veg I suppose I could find another name rather than Grace .

I am not ignoring any replies BTW just going for a quick bath.

Tell her you have changed your mind and you are going to call the baby Fairy-Tinkerbell Dances-In-Moonlight.

She will then be relieved when you 'change your mind' back to Violet Elsie Grace.

She's a control freak. Of course you will name the baby, not her! I think they are lovely names fwiw.

Iklboo, my DB and DSIL did that to my mum - told her they were having Chelsea Charly Tuesday whenever she asked about names. Soon stopped her lol.

Comewhine..., just tell your mam that if she wants to use the name Daisy she can, when SHE has another child. Until then, YOU are chosing YOUR childs name

We've told all Mothers and Fathers - who all have different opinions - that we're going to name our dd 'Iphigenia Euphemia Primula' adding 'after the cheese spread'. They're so gobsmacked and not quite sure that we're joking that they haven't offered their opinions and will be quite relived when 'Isobel' arrives.

Love Violet Grace anything. Tell your Mum that you're really hurt by her behaviour. It's a priveldge to be allowed to share anything of your daughter's life and she needs to remember her role is to support you. In your choices.

Mad! My dh's grandad told us daisy (dd's name) was common, could we please change it!?? I think violet is lovely. Could you perhaps just change the order of the names so it doesn't spell veg? Our surname is double barrelled E-E so we couldn't have any p names or w names (pee or wee, can you imagine? kids are so cruel!)

I think I have settled on Violet Elsie Lydia , my mum has only rung once to ask if I had seen my brother didn't mention the baby .

Hahahah good job I decided against posting my thread with my name change now isn't it lol .

Oh for god's sake - she's just embarrassed herself.
Use the name, she'll get used to it and will just hope that no-one remembers her outburst.

Ooooohhh can just imagine your child being called Vi across the playground - she will be mistaken for a blue rinsed dinner lady!

I love the name and the VEG thing would not bother me. She will have a surname and so her initials will be VEGP or something.

My DS's initials are CAN but it never bothered me (apart from Dad calling him "my wee tin can" which I stopped him doing).

Why all the fuss about initials at the moment?

Oh, and your Mum is a loon.

my mum did not like like my sons name at first hes called kenzie but she came round in the end its up to u what u call your child ppl dont like my sons name and they turn there noses up or say its a girls name or its a chav name but i dont care

I really liked Violet for our dd, but someone told me it reminded them of that vile character in 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' which immediately put me off it.
