Parents...

[pleasure-past.livejournal.com]

How much influence did your parents have over what you named your child? Would you give your child a name that one or both or all of your parents hated? What if they hated it for a reason you disagreed with? (e.g. They told you that you shouldn't name your son Dylan because it was a girls' name, or that Jackson sounded like an old man's name, etc.) If you gave your child a name your parents hate, how did it work out? Do they call your child by your child's name, or did they immediately nickname him or her to get around it?
