HOLY effing eff!!! Our son`s name will be Mario Blair. If my mother, or ESPECIALLY my BF`s mother, or anybody`s mother for that sake...tells me to change his name one more time, i will lose it!! His mother was going on about how he will get beat up, and how she refuses to call him Mario, that she will call him Marty instead!! Like WTF!? Did we ask you!? HOLY insulting!! I have many family members naems Mario, so she really needs to lay off. I`m tired of heearing all these other names that they think they can convince us to call him. He has been Mario for 9 months, and now they`re just insulting him.!! Grr....sorry.....had to vent! :) Anybody wants to agree with me, it would be greatly appreciated! :) lol

RandiLee - 116 days ago Haha.....thanks a lot, everyone :) I like a lot of your ideas... A week ago my boyfriend actually told her that if she doesn;t call him by his name, that he will not be calling her by her name. Which I think is fair. If they have such a problem with it, they should have another child and name him whatever they want. :)

xbabybeanx - 116 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Hi there. i think whatever name you choose theres soing to be someone who doesn't like it. This is your baby so call him what you want. When he's born he'll be so unbelievably cute and gorgeous that everyone will forget the fact they don't like the name anyway and learn to live with it.So call him what you like. P.S i really like it because its different and there won't be hundreds of kids with the same name. xx

kater - 116 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) in my experience, people will always criticize your choice of name, unless you pick the very name they have as a THEIR favorite. i thought luckywhite's suggestion was hilarious!! next time someone threatens to call him by a different name,threaten them right back!! dont worry too much though, generally, people wont say too much after bub arives

luckywhite - 116 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) well if she cally him marty in front of you just make sure mario grows up calling his grandmother 'mrs (insert any random name)' she loses her title as granny, grandma, nana, nonna, or whatever.. she calls him by his name or she gets called whatever you want as well..

dawnispregz - 117 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I think you need to say to these inconsiderate rude people that as much as they may not like the name thats the way it is, and no matter how many times they make jokes you will not be made to feel insecure about it. Tell them that its rude and not making you feel like you want them in your childs life. 'Say something nice or nothing at all'. F*** em babes, have a beautiful baby and lots of fun together! x x x

kristie - 117 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I gave my sister a bit of crap about her son's name..... Xavier Alexander. It's a great name, but I just didn't think it suited a baby that was only half mexican. So I teased her a bit, and sort of criticized her husband for being selfish. But what it comes down to is the fact that it's YOUR baby. When the baby arrives, everyone will love him regardless of his name, and most will find their own nicknames for him. It's annoying to listen to all of the bs, but just shake it off. It could be worse. You should be preparing yourself for your mother in law (or someone else for that matter) getting ready to try and tell you how to raise your child. There's nothing more infuriating than someone telling you that you need to baptize your child rather than simply dedicate it, and so on. I know it's annoying, but things could and may very well get worse. Keep your head up!

sarahann - 117 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) People should learn when to back off. She has obviously voiced her opinion, now she needs to give up. He is your baby, you are the one who names him what you want. I cannot imagine how I would feel if I were in your situation, but very angry would be an understatement. I would hope that once your son is born she stops it, but considering it is this close to your due date and she's still saying stuff, she probably won't. How dare she call him another name just because she doesn't like the one you've given him?! If she refuses to call him by his name, then you can refuse to let her see him. Sorry, but it's made me cranky. I feel very strongly about this topic. Mario is who he is, don't let anyone else try and make it otherwise. He is YOUR baby. I do hope people come to realise this, otherwise it is something that will always upset you. Good luck with the birth..

brittany1621 - 117 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I know how you feel. My daughters name is going to be Evangeline. I love my parents but sometimes they are just to simple minded. My dad can't remember the name and refers to her as "Evie or Bobby Joe" yeah I know! He thinks it's funny I think its insulting. Sometimes people just dont know when to shut their mouth. They don't realize it actually hurts and it's not funny, not even a little.

moms the word - 117 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) WOW! How inconsiderate are these people? My mother in law is also trying to get us to name the baby what she wants. I just keep saying to her, "Oh, I'm sorry, I thought I was carrying this baby. I thought this was my choice. You got to choose your babies names so why shouldn't I choose mine?" As for her calling him what she wants to call him, then let her know that you just won't be able to allow her to see him till he is older so he won't get confused about his name when he is learning to talk. She will hopefully see how foolish she is acting and get over it. My sister's little girl is named Carly after her late grandmother whose name was Carla. Her great-grandmother insisted on calling her Carla and when Carly got older(about two) she looked her square in the face and said, "Nanny, my name is Carly not Carla you're saying it wrong." That fixed her right up. So as long as you call him Mario at home, he will know what his name is and be proud of it. Good luck with your upcoming birth, hope Mario is healthy and happy.
