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?

First of all, my husband and I plan on avoiding that problem DURING the pregnancy by keeping our name choices a secret until the birth. Then AFTER the birth, if our parents disapprove...then they disapprove. It's not their child.
