ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!

Lyssa

So my fiance's step mom doesn't like the name we have chosen. She says that we're not Hebrew, so we shouldn't name our son a hebrew name. This is our rainbow baby. We lost our daughter last year due to miscarriage. We chose her name, Payton Bailey. "Bailey" incorporating my sister who overdosed on her 19th birthday, after being clean 6 months. We chose the name Malakai Bailey. Malakai in the biblical sense means "my messenger". The first dream I had after finding out I was pregnant, was of a little girl, holding a blue blanket in her arms. And I've had similar dreams this far into my pregnancy as well. I'm a little over 17 weeks. It was only fitting. The middle name follows both our daughter and my sister. My son is my link to them. I thought he should know and deserves the name to cherish them both. As they aren't here to watch him grow. She refuses to use his name, or even his nickname (kai). We've had too many different conversations. And I've said that it is our child to name. Not hers. My fiance and I have both found Christianity as a religion. His father and step mom are atheists, and his grandma and grandpa are Buddhists. They do not agree with anything of our choice with the name. At one point, after explaining the meaning behind our boys name, his step mother had said that I'm forcing our religion on the baby and the family, and that my fiance probably didn't even have a choice in the name. Does anyone else have this issue?? Or is it just me?
