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?????

Yeah it sucks when your parents have to be so against your choices. It's always like that for me. Except it's always my mom that is VERY out spoken. But thanks for your time to write me a response! :)

I wish I would have not told anybody her name.My mom sounds so much like your mom; she also does not like anything. And she thinks that she knows everthing. I don't know if that is a mom thing or not?? Thankl you for your response!!

I too think that Natalia is a better name than Jasmine. I wish my family could see it that way too:)Thanks for your response!

Thank you for agreeing that Natalia is a nice name. It makes me feel better. It suck when everyone in your family is telling you that the name is ugly. All the messages I got were people telling me that it is a beautiful name.That really makes you feel better:)

Well I don't know any strippers(LOL), but I really did not like that name compared to Natalia.If I ever become pregnant again; I am not saying a word about a name until it is official- in the hospital, on paper. Thanks for your response!!

Yeah, I know now; I learned my lesson about not sharing anything with my family, unless I have to.I think they will get used to the name once they have a face to go with it too.

You are right, no more discussing the name. They are just going to have to wait, and deal with it!

The name Natalia is absolutel beautiful!! I say ignore your famly! They have no right to tell you what to do. Your mom had the chance to name her own babies! Now it's your turn. They will get used to it eventually.

Good luck,
Ali
