Today, I had to yet again tell my mother-in-law that I wasn't going to name my unborn baby "Ermintrude" after her late mother. My husband told me to stop being difficult, and that he agrees that it would be nice. FML

why not offer to call her 'Trudy' or take it as a middle name? I took my man's nan's name (may she rest in peace) and that is Barbara, as my daughter's middle name cause I was never gonna call her Barbara. Family politics is hard but worth trying to solve if you wanna stick your relationship out.

I say slap the mother in law and knock out your husben after telling him to.grow a back bone so he can pull his head out of his mother

What a disgusting name. This is your child as well as his and if she wants a child with that name she should have did so if she hasn't already.

Just tell her and him NO. Although I like the idea of an unusual name. My friend has a niece named Jonny so a strange name is ol

I could never put that on paper! I'd tell em sure that's the middle name and call it! ????

I cant say "I agree your life sucks" because you aren't the one who is/will be named Ermintrude lol

Using it as a middle name would be the better suggestion, just to appease the parental figures

It's your baby, you can name her whatever you want.
