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?????

I love that name. It was on our list when we named our daughter Nikkita.Her middle name is Chantelle. Even though I am Irish I loved slavic and Russian names. Nicolette, Natasha and Natalia.
Tell your family that they can name your child if they want to put up the money for college in the future. You can auction it off to the highest bidder. Ha!:)
My husband's family hated Nikkita. They called her Nikki. Now she asks them to call her Nikkita. Because her friends love her name!she is 12 now. Trust me she won't hate it. All the thousands of Emmas and Emilys will down the road.
sounds like you have a lot of support for Natalia. I also agree that it is a beautiful name. It sounds regal, like someone who will be a person to listen to.
As far as your family...naming a child is such a special thing for new parents. This is the name this new little person will carry through life. This is how people will know her from birth on. It is a big responsibility and a special gift from the parents. It is a shame that your family has put undue stress on something that should be an experience for just you and her father. When you have an opportunity, you should tell them how this makes you feel. Then firmly but respectfully tell them you have chosen her name and that is final. Thank them for their input and let them know you took all suggestions into consideration. A mom knows what name "feels" right for her child.
Good luck and best wishes for you and your new family.
