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 really think it is a pretty name. If you and your husband both love it, I think you should ignore everyone else's opinion. If you don't, you may regret it later.

Oh you poor thing...I am *so* sorry that your family is making the naming process of your little girl so difficult! When I saw your question I was expecting a really ugly name...not the gorgeous Natalia-I *love* it!!!!!! And you could call her Lia as a nn if you like...I don't understand why your family feels she will grow up hating it-it's so feminine and beautiful!
In my opinion your family is out of line-they each had or have the chance to name their own children, this is *your* baby...but that's just me :)
From your statments about your family, it sounds like this is not an isolated incident-it sounds to me like they don't really like you making your own choices (if they disapprove of choice after choice that you make), instead, they hope to make all of your choices for you...yes?
I agree with you dh, but also understand how you feel like it's easy for him to say, he's not going to get the grief from them that you worry you will. But I would *not* back down and just use the name your mom suggests (she should have named one of *her* daughters Jasmine then).... my only feeble recommendation is maybe to still use Natalia as her fn for sure...but pick a mn they like if you are willing to do so?
Again, I am so sorry this is happening to you...it is always my opinion that this is *your* decision and everyone else should pretty much back off...LOL If it makes you feel any better, they will all simply *adore* her no matter what her name is once she is born ....
