[quote=Anonymous]We've narrowed our girl names down to Miriam or Mariam and Elizabeth. My husband is very picky and basically only likes super classic biblical names (his entire list of boy names was Andrew and Daniel). Not my favorite style but I like them well enough. Mariam is our favorite but when we mentioned it to our parents and a few friends, everyone overtly hated it. I was shocked. My (racist) mom called it an ugly Jewish name and flipped out. My MIL didn't say anything but it was really obvious she didn't like it. My friends said it was horrible. I know I shouldn't have shared the name if I couldn't handle negative comments but they kept asking and I was just so excited about it. I really didn't expect it to be so controversial. How can I move past everyone's disapproval? With my mom particularly, I'm worried she'll be awful about it even after the baby is born. And that everyone will secretly hate it. [/quote]
