I'm so mad at your in-laws! This is your baby, your birth, your special time... how dare they!
I'd say pick a different name for your son and never see your in-laws again. If my parents tried that then I'd certainly not want to see them again. I'm so upset for you, Charaz, I'm practically growling at the screen. Your ruddy in-laws!
Thank you all for your support, your replies brought me to tears as it is the first time my feelings have been validated by persons who would truly understand my experience. There is so much more to this story that makes it even worse but to know that my decision is supported based on the summarised version gives me some comfort. Unfortunately my husband hasn't been very supportive and has only grudgingly agreed to change the name after I have stated that I simply am not coping and cannot sign the form - somehow I think this will come back to haunt me however I feel it is what I have to do. After all, nobody considered my feelings. Thanks again!
Charaz, congratulations on the birth of your little man! I bet he's just gorgeous
Name your baby whatever you want to. If the forms haven't been sent in yet then there is no problem. If they are already filled out, just get that liquid paper onto it and get it official!
If you feel ok with it you could use his name as a middle name, but after that intimidation I'd be inclined to not bother.
