I think you should name the baby after your grandma and just over look what is being said by your grandma sometimes you have to do things like this and one day your grandma will not be alive and you'll fell bad to have done something out of spite.

This is tricky.
If everyone knew that your daughter was going to be Isabella Marie in honor of your grandmother and his sister, I'd stick with the name and just focus on Aunt Marie instead of Great-Grandma Marie for now. Odds are that Great-Grandma will come around once your little girl arrives.
But if the name hasn't been shared, then there's nothing wrong with switching.
The thing about family names is that, I think, they're always good choices, but once your child is born he or she inhabits that name so fully that you don't see the relative. My son is named after my father-in-law. Honestly, my FIL is *not* my favorite person. But I don't see him when I hear my son's name ... and, in the long run, I know I'll be glad to have a family memory live on.
Best wishes!

How about using both names? Though she's being a pain now, she may not be later. It would a an honor to have a child named after you and I'm sure she'd love it. Give the girl two first names, I have 2 and it's really no big deal.
Isabella Marie Kathrine. Sounds good to me. Good luck!

It's YOUR baby. It's between you and your boyfriend what you should name your child. Your grandmother is being unreasonable. Is it possible that she's mad about something else? If you change the name because other people are unhappy, you'll only resent them for it later. They'll get over it. Besides, once the baby is born they will be so focused on the baby itself that they won't have time to complain about the name.
Also, if you ever decide to have another child...don't tell anyone the names until the baby is born. That way it isn't influenced by anyone other than you and your partner. It's also too late for anyone to protest because the name will already be on the birth certificate. My parents kept all 3 kids' names secret in our family (they had one for a boy, and one for a girl each time a baby was born). Nobody cared and everyone liked the names in the end.
I hope this helps. Congratulations, and good luck!

I like Isabella Kathrine.
Your grandma is old and cantankerous but
she must know how hurtful she is being.
Maybe she will get the picture and settle down.
You can use Marie for your next daughter as it
goes with almost anything.

Yes I think you are over reacting. I don't quite follow what it is your grandmother has done but you are being over dramatic. You sound a bit spiteful, your feelings got hurt and now you want some sort of revenge. We need a little less of that in this world. If his grandma turns around and says something you don't like would you consider changing it again? If it bothers you that much just remember the name was also after you bf's sister and she is a closer relation.
I like the sound of Isabella Marie better as well, ha, ha.

Then if this other grandma becomes another pain in the neck, are you going to change her name too?'It is a better solution to rename the baby after some one not in the family., If there are 2 Sarahs or 2 Roberts how do you all call them when they are together
How to call 2 roberts when they are together?
Maybe one becomes Rob and the other Bob.
Or maybe Cat and Kathy when the 2 Kathrines are together.

Ummm...how old is your grandma?
It may be she's having memory problems (asking weird questions about who people are and why they are there is a classic symptom). It would be a shame to change your baby's name if that's the reason. But mostly I would just go with the one you like best.

sounds like gramma is having a hard time coping with the fact your pregnant and not married remember that was very taboo back in the day and she dosent agree with how society NOW looks at it.I think i would name the baby whatever you want.if you and grandma were ok in the past maybe its time you decided to approach grandma and ask her what her problem is or you guys will never resolve your differences
