[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  @15:39 - I'm afraid the damage is already done between my mom and my DH.  She's never really liked him very much and now she strongly dislikes him.  Even if I were to do exactly as she wanted, she would still harbor the same dislike for him, and probably will for the rest of her life because she blames him for pretty much everything that she doesn't like about me.  She also hates his mother for IMO a silly reason.

My relationship w/ my DH is more important right now because he's my partner in life and we're having DC together.  The extended family, I think, will get over the name thing because they used it for their kids and they have no rational reason to care what I do.  They might be disappointed for a few minutes or feel bad for my mom because she's so upset, but I don't think there will be any lasting ramifications with them.  The only relationship that will suffer now is the one between my mom and I, and I honestly think the damage is already done.  I talked to her yesterday and she said some things that she will probably regret in a few months, but she can't un-say them.  She's pretty much decided that she would rather avoid DH and his mom than come to the hosptial when I have the baby, and I don't have the words right now to express how hurtful and disappointing that is.  At least my dad will be there.  [/quote]
