Annoyed with parents - naming MY baby

We just found out I'm pregnant, so my parents ask me if we have any names picked out. I tell them Zachary is a possiblity, and my step-father rolls his eyes. Days later I tell my mom we're thinking of Maxwell Paul or Elizabeth Mae. She thinks the girl's name is "okay" but hates Maxwell Paul. The name for a girl SHE likes is Aubrey Lynn, after my grandfather (and my middle name). First, I'm annoyed they're being so negative and think they'll only like a name that THEY pick out. Second, I'm annoyed with myself for caring so much what they think about it. I don't want them to hate their grandchild's name and I know my parents, they'll give me heck about the name for years.
My husband doesn't care what they think, but it's like now there's a grey cloud over these names, and it's name is grandparent.

We'd told our parents that we wouldn't be sharing the name until the baby was born, but my dad still asked if we'd come up with a name. So we told him "Bill" if it's a boy and "Hillary" if it's a girl. (My parents are STAUNCH Republicans!) That shut my dad up for a while. :-) Now he's accepted the idea that he won't know the name before Peanut gets here, and he's finally stopped suggesting names of University of Tennessee football players. :-)
