I need your opinion!

I don't like to think she is being spiteful... It's just a bit strange that she has changed because the name we had chosen is quiet 'hippy' and all the names she had chosen and that her two sons are already named are quiet traditional.

Thanks for your help, I feel less like an awful whinger now.

Maybe advice from others who have 'been there done that' would be good too

Glad to have made you feel a bit better.
Hope it all works out for you, it is a bit odd.

P.s - welcome to Bellybelly

There are thousands (millions maybe) of names out there. If she likes your name it's probably not too difficult for you to find another one you like.

Maybe just mention to her that that was the name you mentioned to her (she may have forgotten where she heard it). If you definitely think you want to use it maybe be upfront now and say that. You could say you don't mind if they use it, but to be aware it's likely you'll also use it.
