[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 283328, member: 4264"] Sorry you are so upset! I did name my easy child a mouthful of a name, two middle names, to make my mother happy and easy child's father happy. To be honest Janet, although easy child's father and I decided together about her first name, I've always been disappointed that I felt pressured by family (both sides) for particular middle names. I knew it was important to them, but I had names that felt important to me. easy child's father and I agreed to two middle names, he'd pick one and I'd pick one, thus both feeling we paid tribute to someone close to us. I have zero affinity for the person easy child's dad chose to pay tribute to in my easy child's middle name, I actually honestly loathe her lol. And then I gave in to my mom's wants and although at the time I thought I accepted the decision to go ahead with her wishes over mine to make her feel good, everytime I have to write down easy child's full name on a document I feel a heart tug about the name of the person that I loved so much and wanted easy child to be named after somewhere in there. I mean, I couldn't very well make 3 middle names lol. Even funnier, easy child's names, all of them, are ALL long names. Even she laughs at her names. I'm getting over it a bit, but she's now 10 years old and I still feel that tug at my heart sometimes about the name. I so understand how important it is to you, I also see that they may have their own heart strings pulling for their choice of names. I just hope that your disappointment doesn't bring a distance between you and them. Life is short as we all know so well, and I know how much you love your kids and your grandbabies. :) Regardless of what name is on the certificate, you could always just nickname him Scott or Scottie ;) Grandma's special name for the little guy :) Dont' kick yourself for feeling disappointed Janet. Its human. But I know you'll love the little guy no matter what his name is ;) (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
