ugh family

[Allocate]

So my step dad is trying to pick out a new name or a different spelling for my little girl. Why cant they just be happy with the name and spelling? I dont see very many women or girls out there with the name Amy. Am I going crazy or am I right?

[lesli1]

My cuz is amy but I understand my husband and I went threw that we changed the name about 5to 6 times cause every one tryed telling us what to name are son we finally told every one to back off its not threes we had to get a little rude not like we wanted to but we could not take it no more .. u might have to put your foot down and tell them ur the mom and I do what I want if u dont like it then  u have to choose then lol but I did and every one backed off .. good luck to u dont let no one bring you down this is your Angel do what u think is right

Just stick to your guns. She is your child not theirs. No one really liked that we chose Harmony for our baby but now they see that it fits her to a T. They got to name their kids, its your turn to name yours. be respectful but explain that this is the child's name and you are sticking to it.

Thank you ladies :)

[Shirano]

You're welcome

No problem

Ur baby , ur choice on the name tell them to back the h*** off! I had to do this to my mil 2 times already,  parents think they can always make choices just remember this cause one day it will be our babies having babies and we will know how not to act! :) #happynaming :)

I have chosen Amy Rose as my daughter's name. Well my step dad is throwing out Erin Rose and Aimee Rose

[Shirano]

Beautiful name, I think it is perfect.

[Allocate]

@Shirano thank you

[uvamom2boys]

That's why we don't tell names anymore.  They really can't say much once the baby OS already here and names  :-).  Just ignore them.

[Allocate]

Im trying to. I live with them so I know as soon as I get home im gonna hear about it again

[Shirano]

I live with mine too, you just have to politely let them firmly the way it is going to be.

[Allocate]

I will try my hardest. Thank you all for all of your encouragement

[Shirano]

You can do it. You have to set healthy boundaries in family relationships. Especially when you live with them. Its a great skill to be able to do.

[Allocate]

That's all I want is some boundaries with my family and my little girl

[MamaToBe_20]

My family does that too! I want my child's name to have a unique spelling and they just wanna make it the old fashioned spelling cause they dont like change lol. Very annoying!

[Allocate]

My best friend of twenty years helped me pick out her first name. I have wanted Rose as a middle name for my little girl ever since I can remember

[Shirano]

If you don't set boundaries now it will be harder to do it later. I am experiencing this with my sister in law, because we didn't set boundaries with her a huge blow out happened and now she won't talk to me or let me see my nephew. Learn from my mistake and set healthy boundaries. Also as soon as possible move out. My hubby and I are trying our hardest to move out because we are just done. 2 families in one house doesn't work too well. lol

I dont know if its just you haven't come accross many but its a really common name. My sister, bestfriend, boss, the clerk at my pharmacey and my little cuz are all amy's. All spelt diff too. Amy, aimee, amiee, ayme, ect. In saying that it is a gorgeous name and to be honest I would not even let my bd change the spelling of our bubs name. I too have chosen a pretty common name but like you am spelling it a little differently  :-) your the one who will call baby so name her what you want to and too heck with pleasing people who shouldn't even have an oppinion on her name. Your choice babe, stick to your guns or you'll regret it later in life x

Im trying my hardest to move out but im a single mom. As soon as I get a few things situated and get a car and the money that is what I plan on doing. Im trying to save up as much as I can but the fact that my family keeps spending their money on useless **** makes me mad. I had to buy groceries for them Easter weekend because they didnt have it. I don't mind helping them out with the groceries but not the whole bill. I am hoping to set things straight before it gets to out of control

[Allocate]

@AshleighMcneil I have not come across the name Amy very often. Thank you so much for your input though :)

[Shirano]

It sounds like you are making the right steps. Good job.

[Allocate]

Thank you. Im trying my hardest to just stay calm and let God take over it but it is hard as hell. I absolutely hate living with my parents but I had nowhere else to go
