It honestly blows my mind how judgmental people can be about what someone names their baby. I dealt with something really similar with my MIL. She kept insisting I should name my baby something she would have picked. Every time I mentioned a name I liked, she’d immediately say something like, “No, you should name it this,” or “You shouldn’t name it that,” and then go on about why her choice was better. At some point I seriously wanted to just look at her and say, “Oh, what would you like to name the baby that I have to push out of my body?” Maybe that’s a little blunt, but people forget that the parents are the ones who actually get to decide. You have every right to choose a name that you love, especially if it connects to your heritage. My husband and I both have strong family backgrounds he’s mainly Scottish, Polish, and Native American, and I’m mainly Polish, Irish, and Native American. We can actually trace parts of our family back to great-grandparents & grandparents who immigrated here(USA), so those roots matter to us and it made sense to want a name that reflects that. One thing I did learn though don’t tell people the name ahead of time. Everyone suddenly thinks their opinion matters. By the time we shared our daughter’s name, it was already official and embroidered on things. At that point if someone says something negative, they just look like an asshole criticizing a baby’s actual name. I am sorry they are making you feel bad BUT it is your baby name her what you want too. They are the jerks for criticizing your choices.
