My boyfriend wants to name our baby after his mother, whos name is Marella. Her middle name would be Lynn cause thats my middle name and I said so :o) but I dont really like how the names sound together...and besides what would her nickname be? Rella? Mar? He already pitched it to his mom and she's beside herself with joy. Should i burst her bubble or go with the flow? I mean, I do have first dibs on boy names... help.

If you don't like her name as your baby's first name, and you still want to use your middle name, just give your baby two middle names and come up with a totally different first name... that way both names are incorporated.

Don't do it - by the time its all said and done - she'll be "Marilyn" say the first and middle name together enough times and that's what it sounds like.
Why not use the grandmother's name for her middle name.
Marella Lynn...hmmm - just doesn't sound all that great. Reminds me of something Elvis might say at a concert "Ladies and gentleman I wanna welcome to the stage this Lil Lady from Cut n Shoot Texas... Marella Lynn the 2nd cousin to Loretta."

I think the names sound nice together and what a wonderful thing for the baby to share a name with her grandmother.

stay out of it. If the mummy grew to develop into into the only which made up this rule, the in common words component you're in a position to do is respect it. This infant (regardless in case you want toddlers or no longer) has no longer something to do with you. I keep in mind that it hurts that it somewhat is one section on your guy's existence that you will be in a position to no longer participate in, although in reality that there'll be many stuff alongside the way that you in common words isn't in a position to be a component of. believe ME after I say that you truly want NO elements of infant mama drama. I somewhat were a sufferer of it for the previous 12 years with my husband and stepson (and the boy's mom) and that is not truly easily somewhat well worth the flexibility. From the mummy's stand component, she might want to be protecting her infant from turning out to be too on the concern of you may you and this boyfriend no longer artwork out interior the right...who winds up more effective damage?? You or this infant? who's the mummy finding out for? YOU or her infant? She may o.ok. change her ideas through the years might want to themes between you and the BF get more effective intense and eternal - yet she will be in a position to no longer and also you'd be prepared for that and by no ability take it so own. it somewhat isn't about you...and by no ability might want to be. allow your BF strengthen his own bond such as his infant...that is likewise no longer as a lot as YOU to persuade her to allow you go back lower back round, it somewhat is as a lot as him... be attentive to advice: If he hasn't already performed so, advise that he receives a paternity attempt to if he's infact the infant's father, he desires to be particular his paternal rights, visitation and/or joint custody. Father's have rights too...yet this also will placed a splash hollow in his pocket that he should be prepared to face. the mummy isn't waiting to change the realm in case you 2 at very last wed and function your own solid relations contributors unit.

well i had a similar problem with my first and realized it was my child and i wasnt gonna name it something we all didnt agree on so if you dont like the name but want to involve her in the decision then you should try to come up with a name that maybe sounds similar or something completely different good luck

never go with the flow on your childs name cuz if you hate it thats the name you have to call your child for the rest of it's life maybe you can put his mothers name in the middle or maybe not put it at all it's your kid you dont have to name it that name if u dont want to plus you dont want to name your child something you dont like it's not ment for other people to like it it's ment for you to like it my son is 2 months-old and i gave in and let my boyfriend give him gabriel for a middle name and now i wish i hadnt cuz i really dont like it actually i hate it lol and my son is stuck with it but if i had the chance to do it over again i would have picked something we both liked not what he asked me to put

You are the one having to go through the pain of having the baby, so I think I would burst her bubble. Did your b/f talk to you about it first before he mentioned it to her?

You could always nickname her Ella. I think the names sound nice together.
