[quote=Anonymous]My H is also Latino and my family has said some crazy stuff to us. For me what has worked is taking those comments SUPER literally. So, when my mom asked how we would manage our "cultural differences" (DH is American), I just acted like I was totally confused and didn't understand the question. Then I said it was true that he likes Morrissey and I like Coldplay but we didn't think it would be an issue in the marriage. Then I changed the subject. Then I repeated this kind of response until the comments stopped. Worked. So, in your case, I would have acted like they really were suggesting you name the kid Paco. You could say that Paco is a nice name but that you were planning on something more traditionally feminine, like Rose. Then ask if they like Rose more than Larla or if maybe they think the child should be named after grandma Karen....[/quote]
