Should I name my baby what I want or what my mom wants me to?
Okay this will sound stupid probably, but I'm really torn on what to do. I'm pregnant w my second baby girl. When I was young I told my mom that I'd name my kid after her cause she'd always wanted someone to name a kid after her. So when I was pregnant w my first she was expecting me to name her Kelli but I just didn't feel like it was the right name. I ended up naming her Ophelia which I still love and don't regret at all. But my mom was apparently extremely hurt and still hasn't forgiven me for it. She had told me that if I don't name my second kid Kelly/Kelli whether it be a girl or boy she would be absolutely heartbroken and it would break her soul/she'd never forgive me. So I agreed to it. Well I'm now pregnant w my second which is also a girl and she asked if she could tell people about the pregnancy I said yes but wanted to keep the name a secret. Well she told all the family members that I'm naming her Kelli. She hasn't been very supportive about anything concerning this pregnancy and has been really hurtful on multiple occasions. We live together rn so we can save money to buy a house of our own so now I really feel obligated to name this baby after her but I'm having a bunch of second thoughts. And that I may regret naming her Kelli. Cause I'm not sure if this is going to be our last baby and I've always wanted to name one of our kids after my husband. I was thinking Emmi for this baby but I already told her yes so I feel trapped with this name now. I'm sorry this is long I'm just so confused on what to do.
