In laws complaining about name

Is anyone else's in laws giving then crap about what you have decided to name your baby. Mine are, I told them why do they feel the need to put their inputs and they said because it's a weird name that we need to name our son Miguel or something more common lol. I told them just because we are hispanic does not mean we have to give our kids hispanic names. They think we are wrong about that. My grandma (who adopted me so I call her mom) was born in Mexico and she's not even complaining about the name she likes it because it's not a common name. I'm just over hearing their crap. He is our child and will have the name we give him.

Wow I'm sorry you had a falling out with your mother in law but it's good you stood up for what you believe in and that your fiance had your back. Personally I don't like naming Jr's nothing wrong with it but it's so common.

My fiance wanted a jr but I didn't so we decided on a different name and his family still give me crap for it and hes already born. His nana told me the other day that I still have the chance to change it. And me and his mom got into it big time when I told her I wasnt giving him the jr. She told me that if I didn't let him have his jr that he would go hqve it with someone else. Luckily he had my back on it. But he was incarcerated pretty much my whole pregnancy so I feel like I had the right to pick the name. But I still wanted him to help me with it. This is YOUR baby not theirs so YOU have the right to name him whatever you want (: don't let them get to you. They will have to call him whatever you name him and will just have to get used to that fact (:

Mine already have it decided... they rnt even asking my opinion. It's not fair but I don't wanna sound rude and say something but they could be a little more considerate.  The worst part is we havent found out the gender of the baby yet and they r only looking forward to a boy...  :(
