When MIL found out I was pregnant the first thing she asked was "what names do you have?". I told her we were not thinking about names until the baby was actually born and then we were looking to look at him or her and decide what suits.
MIL then said she'd always liked the name "Lucy" for a girl and "Liam" for a boy. I said that's nice but not names I would choose. She then went in a strop and said I was being rude about her names and she bets my names are crap.
DH took her side and said I was being rude but agreed that he didn't like her names either.
Anyway DD was born on the 14th and MIL instantly asked what we had called her. When we told her she was all up in arms saying it was a disgusting name for a child and if we went ahead and registered her as that MIL would continue to call her Lucy and tell everyone else that her name was Lucy too.
What annoys me even more is that DH is now starting to take her side and saying maybe we should change her name incase she gets picked on for it (although not to Lucy).
To add insult to injury my own mum has now admitted that she hates the name and my sister apparantly thought it was a joke.
Would you dig your heels in or compromise on the name? Everyone I've spoken to either pulls a face or outright admits that they don't like it. It makes me cross because even if I didn't like a name, I wouldn't say it to the parents.
