My mom hates my kids name, wut do?

[raywillet]

So I have a 3 month old little boy, awesome as can be. Name is Rex Evan Willet. Went to an event that had my wifes parents and my mom there, and shes acting all sketch. Called my son Ralph. Get a call yesterday where she goes off, says that my wife and her mom were talking behind her back all night, and that she hates the name Rex. She apologized for calling him Ralph, and now wants to call him Evan.

What the hell is up with that? My mom has always been socially awkward, the type that would put words into your mouth, and then you have to convince her you never said that, etc. But really, 3 months after the fact and now she hates the name?

Anyone else ever ran into this kinda thing? I'm thinking there are 2 roads to take. Concede and let her call him Evan, but I'm thinking that would cause problems down the road. The reason she doesn't like Rex is because someone made fun of it (Dog/Dinosaur) when she was talking about him at work.

Option 2, stand up and demand that she respects my son and call him Rex, or not at all :hitler:. We've got a family trip planned in 2 months to introduce him to my moms side of the family in Jersey, so I'm hoping to squash this soon. Any advice?

He's your kid. You call him what you want. You're parents gave you your name because it's what they chose. Why should they give you a hard time about your kid's name?

Tell your mom to call you Alvin because you hate your name.

You're not a little kid anymore. His name is Rex.

Suffolk eh, makes sense, jkjk.

Option 2.

BTW, if your mom doesnt budge, just tell your kid when he's older that's your mom's special way of calling him. No one else calls your kid that but her etc etc.

LAWL! Didn't notice that.

There is only one solution. You must kill your mom.

I'd remind her how fortunate she is to get to spend time with Rex.

I suggest buying him lots of clothing with his name embroidered on every one of them, and send her shirts that are screenprinted with his picture, and the words "I love my Lil' Rex!"

+1 word for word.

It's your child, call him whatever you want and your mom should respect that. Your grandma didn't call you Ricky, did she?

sounds like my parents with my house "you should leave those rose bushes they look nice" I ask "do you want them?" they reply "no" ok then they are going in the garbage. FFS it's my house just as it's your kid, tell them to F off.
