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?????

first of all, no, it's not ugly at all. when I saw the header to your post, I thought I was going to be seeing some really out there, unusual, unheard of name. Natalia is a beautiful name, very pretty sound. just because your mom happens to like the name Jasmine doesn't mean she can force you to use it. it's your baby, you can name her whatever you like.
after trumping around on this board for a while, I'm starting to think everyone ought to keep the names they have in mind for their babies a complete secret from all family and friends until after the baby is born and officially named.
even if the name did happen to be ugly, it's the PARENTS choice, not the friends, not the grandparents
but in this case, I can't see a thing wrong with Natalia.
Its YOUR baby and YOUR choice of what to name her. Don't let your family push you around on this or they will try to control everyting about this baby.
Just stop having discussion about names with them. If they ask, just say" we will announce it when she arrives"

Natalia is a beautiful name. I work with a Natalia who loves her name, and she's in her 40's. It's an classic name, not trendy, and will probably be "in" someday as much as Jasmine is now.
Your baby's name is not your family's business, also in my opinion. Your mother had her chance to name her children, and you should have that same chance. Don't let her and the rest of your family dictate to you. Name YOUR baby what YOU love!
As a PP said, maybe it's best to keep the names to yourself from now on. If they ask, say you and your husband will announce the baby's name after the birth.
Good luck! Don't let them get you down.

i personally do not like the name Natalia, but don't not name her that because your family doesn't like it, who cares what they thing if you and your husband like it, your child will like it...imo
