Grandmas don't think the name is pretty.

Congratulations! That sounds really tough. I’d probably go with it in the end, but I understand you’re having doubts. They’ll probably get used to the name in the end.

If that's the name you've chosen, just go for it. I understand it's not nice that the grandmas are judging so much, but they'll get used to it.

If you don't have a second choice that you're 100% behind, I wouldn't go with this name either. Otherwise, you might regret it later. And when their grandchild has the name, they'll probably suddenly think it's fantastic

I'd just say go for it. When my son's grandma heard the name, she made fun of it and suggested other names. But it doesn't bother me. The choice is between my husband and me. So it's the same for you: if you like the name, just go for it.

Just think about it for a moment. Consider whether it’s really such an unusual name, or if the child might actually have trouble with it later on. (What you find nice and original now for a baby might not be so pleasant when you’re older if it’s really a weird name.)

Do you really think it’s worth it despite the opinions of people close to you? If so, just go ahead. And then they’ll get used to it, of course. (They might still think it’s a terrible name, but they probably won’t say that anymore.)

When I was younger, I always wanted an original name for my child. I only became a mother later in life, but I still went with a more standard name. Simply because I thought it would be better for my child, not because of other people’s opinions. I’d rather not have him suffer later on because of my quirky ideas about names.
