First off I am not pregnant. We aren't planning another child for a few years. However, my SIL is.
Back when we found out we were expecting Oct LO we started listing names. We were so excited.
It took us a while to decide on his name, but if lo happened to be a girl we had decided to name her after both of my grandmothers.
When we foun out lo was a boy we said we would hold onto the name for our future daughter (should we have a girl).
SIL had overheard me talking to MIL about names before we found out the sex. She butted into our conversation as I was telling MIL. Making disappointed faces at the choices.
She is due end of March, with a girl. MIL called me last night and said "first off I do not agree with what she is doing and I have told her she is wrong for doing it." She told me SIL wants to name her lo the exact same thing we were going to name our daughter.
I am hurt. And pissed. First off those names mean nothing to her, they are my grandmother's names, one which is deceased and I miss terribly. The other who has been there for me through everything. Secondly, she is spelling them different. "So they are "with the times". And there are not many ways to re-spell these names without murdering them.
I have a mind to call her and shower my displeasure upon her. Hubs is pissed. He said he would call her tomorrow. I honestly cannot wait till tomorrow. Both of my Sil's have a flare for drama. To me his is not drama, this is her stealing something I was going to honor/remember these two special ladies. Wwyd? How should we handle this? I would like to be able to use this name for my future daughter.
