Baby Name Poll Results

maybe ignore her the way I’m reading it it sounds like you were kind of rude yourself’s when you talked to her about it so maybe sit her down and explain nicely why you picked the name you did.

Go with your instinct and honour your mother in law, your mother will understand one day, it’s your child you get to choose it’s not your mums baby.

It depends on how much it bothers you. If you love the name, keep it the way it is. If it bothers you, you could always make it a double name: Vivienne-Georgina or Georgina-Vivienne.

She’s not in charge of naming your child.

Maybe a compromise Sophie Georgienne?

Just let her calm down and I’m sure she’ll get over it but, if she won’t let it go, just gently remind her that she had her chance to name her own kids and it’s your turn now. I don’t think you need to compromise or even explain your choice to her.

Sophie Vivienne is beautiful. Maybe honor her with your next baby. :-)

Compromise--Sophie Georgina-Vivienne. Or just Georgina Vivienne :) The next child could be Sophie.

I would let her be under no illusion that this is to honor a very much missed member of your family and that it means a great deal to you both. But, at the same time tell her that in no way does it mean you love her less or that you don’t think of her in the same light. When it comes down to it, the decision lies with you and your husband and nobody else. The name you have picked is stunningly classy and timeless. Don’t give in on something you felt strongly enough about to give your new baby the name in the first place. Good luck.

what if it’s her last child go with sophie Vivienne it’s your decision

I can see why she would be upset, maybe you just a bad daughter

Tell her that the reason you picked Vivienne was to honor your deceased mother-in-law and to give your daughter a tie to her because she’ll never actually get to know her and will only have one grandma. She’ll get to know her Grandma Georgina through memories, and she’ll only get to know your husband’s mother through stories and pictures. If that still doesn’t work, tell her that she’s lucky she’s still alive to get to know her granddaughter.
