Am I over reacting?

Question

NEED TO VENT!!
So I am 6 months pregnant with baby #2. We chose the name Wyatt Daniel, and some people (family) are still trying to convince me to pick another name, or make rude comments not acknowledging our chosen name instead replace it with the name they want or even better calling him “the baby with a name still not chosen” WTF?! Is it wrong that I get ticked off? Seriously I just want to say “y’all had your kids and had a chance to name them!” Don’t dictate, or try to guilt trip me on the name I chose for MY son!! It’s hurtful and rude!!

Answer

Tell them what I told mom..."get a dog and you can name it whatever you want" 😂
I like the name! It is your baby, and therefore your choice!

Answer

THIS is why we keep our baby names a secret until birth 😂

Answer

We refused to talk about potential names with anyone until we had 100% decided on a name. We announced it as "this is his name" and because we were definitive about it no one said anything about trying to change it. But maybe our families are just nicer haha.
Next time someone says something to you about a different name I would just firmly correct and them and say "no, his name is Wyatt Daniel." Eventually they should let it go. You have every right to be annoyed.

Answer

I love the name ! Your family needs to back off ! They want to name things they can get animals .

Answer

My sister likes to talk shit about my son's name because its long and is 4 first names as she says. His name is Theodore Markus James Aaron. I ignore is as should you because that's YOUR baby!

Answer

Had the same reaction but from our groups of friends. People should sometimes keep their opinion to themselves

Answer

Ugh! Vent away because family needs to back off with their opinions. So rude!

Answer

This is your baby and you should chose whatever name you love. Don't let anyone change your mind. If they comment, tell them to shut up. It's none of their business. It seems people always want to give their unsolicited opinions. But it's your baby. You raise your baby how you'd like. Which includes choosing a name. I've had people make comments about certain choices and it makes me so mad. I want to punch my MIL in the face pretty regularly. I think the unsolicited opinion is something we have to get used to. GOOD LUCK!👍🏻❤️✌🏻

Answer

Wow! I really appreciate the feedback and support from all of you ladies. I really needed this insight. And I can’t thank you enough.
