'My family have banned me from Christmas unless I change my daughter's name'

mirror.co.uk:

As we've seen countless times, there's just no chance you'll please everyone while choosing your child's name. Not that should be your aim while choosing something so important.

As the mum or dad, it's down to you only. That said, most parents will find it hard to ignore criticism over their choice - especially if it is from your nearest and dearest.

Typically, most parents spend a lot of time and thought choosing a name they love. So having a close family member or friend dismiss it does sting.

Even worse, if they get angry or upset, what do you do? Spare a thought for one new mum who might not be seeing her family this Christmas unless she agrees to change her daughter's name.
