Baby Name Poll Results

I LOVE the name Abigail Jean! It is gorgeous and will age fantastically. While I’m not partial to the name Georgia, would you consider using it for the middle name? How about Dianne? Abigail Georgia or Abigail Dianne? That way, your mother in law is happy, and you and your husband still get to use the name that you originally loved.

Wow, I feel for you. I think you should be able to name your baby what YOU want to name her, just like your MIL got to name her children what she wanted to. I am appalled that your husband would take her side and not stand by you in this. I would try talking with your husband and trying to make him see why you love the name Abigail and how it means so much to you. Your MIL might not like the name now, but once she gets to know and love her granddaughter, she will grow to love her name. It may take a while, though. GOOD LUCK!!

Sounds like a nightmare. I would remind your husband that it is your baby and his baby. His mother had her chance to name her own kids. Now it’s your turn. Also you are the one who is going to go through giving birth so I think you have veto power. No way would I give in to that, especially since you hate the name Georgia. I would go with the name you and your husband agreed on and keep it a secret. Once she is named your mother in law will come around eventually. Good Luck!

I think you should name YOUR baby what you want and not what the MIL wants.

I originally chose Jean because its my favorite aunt’s name(she just passed away). Abigail is something we thought went really well with Jean. I don’t think Dianne or Georgia go well with Jean at all, but I don’t know.

I like Abigail Jean..It’s adorable!!!!! And it ages well. I think you need to stick to your guns and name your baby the name you and your husband had decided on. You could always use the name Georgia or Dianne as a middle name.???? Just a thought.. I went through the same thing with my mother in~law. I decided to name my baby what I WANTED to name her!!! Since she is my daughter..She wanted me to name her Victoria Ann..I named her Brooklyn Kay! :-)


Good luck!

Abigail Jean is far far better than Georgia Dianne, especially since you don’t like it!

Thank you all SOOO very much. My daughter’s name will be Abigail Jean Walker! I’ll talk to my husband about it. Thank you and God Bless!

What Gianna Jean or Abigail Gianna (it sort of combines Georgia, Dianne)?

Gianna also sort of combines Jean, Georgia, and Dianne.

Baby will have father’s last name and whomever goes through labor SHOULD choose baby’s name! :)
Abigail Jean Walker is great....

Your grandmother should have named her daughter that this is yours and your husbands baby. Abigail Jean is the name and you need to tell her that. Also talk to your husband and get his mind back on track with Abigail Jean. Your grandmother is not the baby’s mom.

What state are you from? Bc if it is gorgia or way off from that it would be just tacky. I love the nn Abby.

Abigail Jean is gorgeous !!!!!!!!!!!!! Tell your mother in law she had her chance to name her children, this child is mine, husband & I will name her what we want & like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

STAND YOUR GROUND NOW... If you don’t you’ll be runnin a losing race for the rest of your marriage!!! I’m happy you chose what you wanted... I’m having the same issues but with my mom... my husband and I sat down and layed out how WE want our child raised and we stood our ground together. I applaud him standing by you.. it should always be a team effort and when it stops being one.. trouble is brewing around the corner!!!
Good Luck

Its your baby, not your mother-in-laws!
You should confront your husband about this!
I love Abigail way more than Georgia!

This is wild! I wanted to call my baby Georgia but my mother-in-law hated it. She lives in our basement apartment so life is pretty close quarters so I named her Sara-Grace instead. After six months I still wish I had named her Georgia and since it is her middle name I am now telling everyone to go by her second name. Mother-in-law is not pleased but I will be happy for the rest of MY life. My advice is to go with what you want or you will regret it. Naming babies is not about people pleasing. It is about pleasing the mom and the dad and no one else

My MIL and her mother shared the same name: Mary Belle (beautiful, but old fashioned in my opinion). My name is Mary, but I am not called that, so naming my daughter Mary would make sense, but I do not prefer it. Every time we get around a little girl.. my mil says she can’t wait for little Mary Belle and I just want to croak! I WILL NOT name her that. Instead of being excited, i dread it... nuts huh?
