Re: In-Laws deciding name…
I was trying to suggest that one shouldn’t mind if the grandparents want to name the child. This should be perceived as an honor…somebody cares enough about your child to want to name it. They love you enough to want to be an integral part of your big event.
At the end of the day Allah bestowed the great honor of motherhood upon me…the name is merely a small part of this process. I would love my daughter no less had she been named Sher Bano (
not that there is anything wrong with that name).
on a side note… sometimes “growing a pair” means getting what you want without ever appearing to have done so.
