Should I change this to suit my mother?

Your mum has had her turn for name picking its your turn now!!! Hayley Nicole is lovely

I am sure you will already have read back your original post and realised how ridiculous it is to consider changing your babys name to suit a petty preference of your mum. She is being manipulative whether she realises it or not. Stick with the name that you want. If you really feel that you should compromise then change the spelling to something less traditional.

Yep...definitely your baby = your pick. Your Mum will get over it within a week and if you change for her you'll probably never forget it!

Stick to your guns, but you should torture your mum for sure!!

Tell her its going to be Nicole Hayley, find the name of everyone she hates and throw those around when she is over next time.

Awesome!!!

ABSOLUTELY NOT!! Don't do anyhting to please anyone else but yourself and your parnter. It is not your mums decision. Tell her if she liked the other name so much then she should have thought of it when she was naming HER children.

Your name choices are beautiful BTW.

Hi GothMum,
Just as everyone else has said - it's your baby - you're the Mum
My mother expected me to name my first born (which she hoped would be a girl) after her - she wanted the middle name to be her's. When I discussed this with my DH we agreed that it should be joint decision, besides if someone insists you call your child after them to please themselves - it's certainly not something you want to do yourself!!

When I told my Mum that we weren't going to name a daughter after her she yelled- "Well I hope you don't have a daughter!" and hung up on me.... so do what you and your hubby want to do - not your mother!! You'll regret it if you do, and she'll think she rules the roost and maybe expect you to do other things she wants you to do in the future.
Good luck with your decision!

I agree with everyone else. You should DEFINATELY call YOUR baby girl whatever you like. I have told people what we are thinking of naming our little girl and sometimes their opinions aren't what you expect, which confuses you and then you consider choosing something else which isn't right. I think I learnt my lesson for next time, to just zip it and not tell a soul. Oh by the way I think Hayley Nicole is a beautiful name.

[nickers]

nope dont change it, you have to call her this name and live with your decision and if you change it to suit her you will never be happy with it.

I also think Hayley Nicole sounds pretty and pffftttt to her for not liking it!

Hey tell her you know a girl on BB by the name of Nicole and she is far from a deads*** (drug addict, and bogan) but a lovely, thoughful, funny, happy young lady!! hehe

ROFL Lulu!!!

Definitely stick with whatever name makes you and her Dad happy.
If your Mum truly is going to screw up her nose every time she hears her grand-daughters name then she is a *****.
I doubt that would happen though. She'll get over it, the name will become your daughters.
Besides, how often do we actually use middle names?

[westy]

Definately not...this is YOUR baby so you and your DH name your daughter whatever name YOU like!

Your mum has had her day or naming her own children now she just needs to sit back and let you name YOUR children!

BTW...Love the name you have chosen!
