in all seriousness, op you need to go to lunch/dinner with your parents and lay down the law, not to assume, but if your father is around im pretty damn sure he will back you up 100% unless he's afraid of his wife knowing how he really feels.
Not too sure how my dad feels about his name, I haven't heard any negativity from him about it. Gonna go have a sit down with my mom on Sunday and work this stuff out.
Anyway, you had a kid, she's now a grandma, that's a big transition. the name will be the first of many things you don't do" RIGHT" .
That brings up something I didn't mention before. All of our names on my side of the family have been initials REW for the past 2 generations. As soon as she found out we were pregnant, she laid down the rule of REW. So that limited us to what we could choose from, out of respect for her. Some other contenders:
Roscoe Eulysses Willet
Rowdy Effin Willet
She did "change her mind" nearing the end of the pregnancy, "No you don't have to use the REW thing..." God only know what this woulda been like had we named him something other than REW. Enjoying all the feedback, I'll be sure to report back when I get done meeting with the moms.
Disconnect all ties with your family, and when lil' rex gets older and questions why he never met his grandparents say that his grandmother is in a mental-ward for trying to destroy skynet and his grandfather is fighting robot warlords in 2025.
When we named our daughter both sides of our family hated it. One side being Polish, and the other Italian. Now 22 months later its a non issue. Like many have said this is your child, you can name him whatever. Sounds like your mom has some issues, no offense, but calling your son Ralph is fucking outrageous.
