We made the mistake of telling our parents our top name choice, Theodore, and my mother-in-law literally cried because she hates old man names. Now my wife is second-guessing everything and I am just frustrated. Has anyone dealt with this?
Ugh! How do you handle family hating your name choice?

Oh no. Theodore is gorgeous, and it is super popular right now, not an old man name at all. This is exactly why we kept our names a complete secret. Once there is a cute baby attached to the name, they usually stop complaining.

I completely agree. Just tell them you are still deciding and announce Theodore on birth day. Save yourself the committee review.
