[quote=Anonymous]I support you if you want to put your foot down and assert your right to name your baby. However, in your situation (you like your in-laws, you want them to be happy, it's an important part of DH's heritage/traditions) I would probably give your son FIL's name as his first name and then call him by a middle name that you choose. Many people (including me!) go by a middle name their whole life. He will have to explain it occasionally, like on the first day of school ("actually Ms. Teacher, I go by my middle name, Larlo") but otherwise it will be a non-issue and no one will know it's his middle name. The grandparents can call him Hani if they want (they will probably give it up and use the other name as he gets older, but even if they don't, whatever).[/quote]
