We're trying to be supportive, but we're in shock. Anger plays a role. How does a loving parent do this to a baby? Does she hate him so much? Also playing a huge part in our reactions is a combination of fear and pity for the baby who has to go through life with this name. Children are so cruel.
Why do we care? He's our pending great grandson, due late March.We just got the shower announcement, listing his name.
Perhaps we're overreacting and will come to love - no, scratch that - tolerate the name. Maybe we're just too old, too set in our ways. You can make that decision for yourself as you read this. We'll respect any difference of opinion, though it'll be a tough sale to moderate ours. It's not like it's just something ridiculous, like Apple or Blanket, making the child a laughingstock. For us, this is worse.
I mean, really: who would name a baby "Hades"?
