[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm sorry your mom is batshit crazy right now, and I hope the sanity fairy visits her real soon. :)

Stay strong, and give her space to do all her complaining to someone other than you. Your mother had the chance to name her children, and now this is your chance. I can suggest though, that perhaps your mom is like mine. My mother didn't get to wear the wedding dress she wanted to wear, and when we started talking about MY wedding she began saying things about doing it her way and how my wedding is really for the bride's mother, not the bride. I finally told her that if that's truly how she feels, then I will be happy to pay for the entire wedding myself in order to maintain control, and she'd be lucky to even get an invite. That shut her up promptly. So maybe your mother was pressured into names for you, and she thought your baby would be her chance to make her own decisions, not realizing she can't live vicariously through you.

Give her space, ignore her. Somebody else will help you when the baby is born if she hasn't come around yet. Hopefully her crazy will pass soon. Do not absorb this stress by trying to engage with her during The Crazy - she can't hear you.[/quote]
