opinion/ poll please read

So my sis in law married to my actual bro in law is due December I am due Jan. Both team pink. I  have had a not so smooth pregnancy some diff times but so far all is well.We went out and bought the letters for the babies name and are to announce this week. Well come to find out mybsis in law picked out the same name different spelling and I am Hispanic so I am pronouncing name more on the Spanish end. We never discussed this before had no clue and my house hubby and I think it fine and kinda sweet. But she is wanting us to change the name because she finds it weird and thinks my hubby new she had this name in mind from when she mentioned it 12 yes ago before she ever married my bro in law!!
So she is making this into a drama and we are set on this name as she is. I didn't ask her to consider changing nor did I get pissy about it. It'll just be cousins with the same name?!

I say stick to your guns. If your fine with it so be it. If she isn't she can change the name.

What origin is the name you choose??? I agree with amandapanda 85, if she doesn't like it then she can change it. But if you are fine and you really love that name it means that name is the one that your baby should have. So why change it???Keep it  if you choose it with love for your baby then...

I agree with the other ladies. If she doesn't like it she can change her name. It shouldn't be a big deal.

i agree with them too. if you have your baby first, name it whatever you choose. and if she then has too much of a problem with that, she can pick a different name for her baby. if she has her baby first, nothing prevents you from choosing the same name for your baby. she's the one with the problem, so she should change it. if you love the name, keep it. a baby's name is a big deal, give in to someone else's demands or make any sacrifice in this regard. you can also just tell her you picked a different name, just to get her off your back for now.

I say keep it if you want. She doesn't own the rights to the name just because she's having her baby first

Stick with the name you want, or you'll always think of that name...i changed my daughters name last minute because everyone was saying it wasn't good. And i still think of the name i originally wanted.
She's the one either the problem not you.
