[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) You need to let your mom know in no uncertain terms that the middle name choice was your idea, not your husband's. She'll get over it with you; she may hold a grudge against your DH and that's not fair.

2) Tell your mom that she is entitled to her opinion but ultimately the decision is between you & DH what to name your child. Tell her you hope that she will be able to put her feelings aside and fully welcome this new child and embrace her role as grandma. If she's not able to overcome her objections to the name, you understand and look forward to her joining in on the family action when she feels ready. Leave it at that.

3) When she does calm down, told her your thinking behind the name. While you didn't choose the exact middle name she had in middle, you did try to pay tribute to it along with a name from DH's side. She may be able to appreciate that when she's settled down. [/quote]

Sorry, I didn't see your post 2 minutes ago, ignore #1. [/quote]
