[quote=Anonymous]OP, the problem is that you are letting your family get away with being disrespectful.  Your husband was right, but clearly your female relatives on your side, discount your husband, first because he's male and second because he's not directly related to them but only related by marriage.

YOU need to stand up to your family.  The next time they mention changing your mind about the name, you need to be very explicit and say that you both love the name, you have no intention of changing the name, and that they are being rude and disrespectful by criticizing the choice you made for your daughter's name and trying to get you to change the name.  Tell them that they can stop talking about it or they can leave, but you won't accept their continued criticism of the name you both love.

If you don't stand up to them, they will continue on until your daughter is old enough to understand and it will be very cruel to your daughter.  You need to stop this practice and you need to do it yesterday, like before the baby was born, but since you haven't yet, you need to do it the very next time your relatives mention the topic again.[/quote]
