I posted this in my birth club and was told I could get good advice on how to handle my in-laws here, lo' is three weeks old and his name is Emrys.
I just received letters in the mail with $100 dollars cash stating that we are required to change our child's name. SERIOUSLY. they are from my FIL and both his grandparents stating that its a horrible name and they are appalled at us because or the origin of the name. Also they stated he will be made fun of for the rest of his life if we do not change it. I will be sending all of them there money back and telling them to mind there own business. the grandparents said we must have it changed to one of there relatives names at once and use a family name. well we picked his name and the middle name comes from my side of the family and out last child's middle name came from there side of the family. I don't even no how to politely respond to these people and want to loose it... Dh got home from work and was just as pissed as I am.
