Is this really an ugly name?
| Sun, 01-16-2005 - 10:54pm |
I am having the most trouble with finding a baby name for a girl.My husband and I really like the name Natalia.The thing is my whole family hates it. They say she will hate it for the rest of her life, and I need to choose something else; my family is very controlive in my choices, and it seems like they are never happy with MY choices in life. My mom says to name her Jasmine, but my husband does not like it as much as Natalia. My husband says to forget about what they say, but he is not the one that has to hear the bit**ing from my family.Any advices?????

Heres a couple of suggestions if they keep bugging you. Just make a list up of 5 or so names that you like including Natalia (which by the way I think is pretty)and just give that to them. That away they have names in which they can look over and feel like they have a hand in choosing the name, but only you and your husband (which you guys are really the only two who have to like the baby's name) will know the name you're going to choose.
Another suggestion is to pick a middle name that she can also go by incase your family is right (Natalia is a very pretty name but might be hard for a pre-school friend to say) she'll have another name she could go by until she realizes what a pretty and unique name she has. Just don't let your family push you into changing your minds just because they don't like the name now.
I'd also advise to go into the birthing room with two names picked out. She may come out looking like a Natalie and not a Natalia. I know when we had our two boys we went in with a list of four names, two boys and two girls, that away we would be prepared incase the ultrasound was wrong (which happened to a friend of ours, they were expecting a girl and had a boy instead) or one name might fit her better than the other. This away you're prepared for anything.
I hope this all helped.

Oh, tell them to jump in a lake! It's a beautiful name.
I have to keep my name choices a secret until it's a done deal because my mother doesn't like ANYTHING I choose. You're not alone.
Natalia is NMS, but it is pretty and much better than Jasmine. I know a Natalia from Belarus and she is a very special woman.

I think Natalia is a beautiful name...Tell your family to mind their own business! This is YOUR child...not theirs.
Good Luck and stick to your guns...I hate Jasmine...I don't think it matures well.
