I have definately decided that I am NOT sharing my names with my future mother in law...until after the name is "written in stone"

I asked her about the name Sabrina the other day and she replied with "its a frivolous name and probably wouldnt get a good job b/c of it"
Needless to say I was SHOCKED!!!

WTF, I know several women named Sabrina and they all have jobs, acquired with seemingly no difficult. Can't see what the problem is.

I will probably get stick from my family about name choices. My parents are quite conservative and Dad often whinges about 'forgein' names. Doesn't bother me because hey I don't think their taste in names* is too hot either.
Oh and my brother is expert at finding teasing nicknames, told him I love the name River and his response was 'is his middle name going to be Nile?'.

That and they don't really care much, so it's really too much like hard work getting more than 'it's OK'.
So shall leave it a nice suprise :)

*Well the boys names aren't too bad, very handsome classic names; which I love as mns but would personally pair them with unusual fns. As for girls names; trendy/dated fns + oddly spelt mns = ugh
