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?????

It is beautifull. Jasmine does sound stripper-ish.

It is your decision to make (and your husbands as well). Don't let others talk you out of, or into, something that won't be right for you. I like the name. It is unique, just as your daughter will be. Good luck!

It's a beautiful name and very popular in Russian speaking countries (my dh is from Belarus) They use the nn, Natasha. But, I like Tally or Talia better.

Parents name children not grandparents. If your dh hates Jasmin and you don't like it. IT'S OFF THE LIST! ;-D Your parents named their kids and you name yours.

Don't worry about it. Just don't discuss it with them or tell them what the name is until after the baby comes (my aunt did this because she didn't want comments on the name she choose: Presley Keegan) or after you feel the birth cerficate form out.

Once you have the baby; it won't matter.

My husband and I really like the name Natalia.


That is the only thing that matters.


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;


I doubt she will hate it if you and your DH choose it with love.
