In our family this decision was quite difficult Smile because it appeared that we couldn't find the only name to satisfy all the family. Grannies offered the most weird and rare variants. After 10 days of disputes Smile my husband and me chose what we liked and all of a sudden, everyone agreed Smile

It should not matter what other family members think. You pick what YOU want. You will have to live with it everyday! Most people will find the name will grow on them.

Well, I don't have children yet, but I was always interested in the nature of names and their meaning, e.g. Victor means the winner, Amelia means work, effort, etc. While choosing a baby name this should be taken into account too.
I think it doesn't matter what other members of you family think about it, it's just you and your husbund who must deside.

Thanks for your comments. Of course the last word says the one who registers and gets the certificate of birth Smile but still, I think the child's name should be comfortable for all in the family. Do you agree?

This is one instance that I do NOT agree Smile I doubt your parents consulted all your family members about your name! It is only your and your spouse's decision. And if any family does not like the name, they should keep quiet about it!

My eldest son's name is Timur. When we were choosing it, our relatives said, "Why are you choosing Muslim name? You are not be able to baptize him with this name!" But we like it!
There have been disagreements, but finally we had our own way. Then relatives washed out and didn't tamper with name choosing for our second child.

My name was chosen after 3 month of disputes))

Oh, there are so many odd names! I've seen on TV that some stupid woman gave her baby name Z23289JK (smth like that) Very Happy Unfortunatly, such names are widespread nowedays and children have to suffer from jeers of their classmates and acquaintances.

We had two name favorites and finally selected one before the birth. And when our son was born it became apparently clear for us that we made the right choice Smile

Our friend new for sure she will have a girl and she knew the name in advance - Maria. So now Maria is graduating her first grade at school already Smile

I must agree, me and my husband also have difficulties with choosing the name for the kids. Usually our parents and in-laws will suggests their desired names for the kids. And then, we will discuss but of course the final decision comes from us. ~Taking care of my family’s health~ [url="http://www.onlinehealthdeals.com"]online health[/url]
