I learned my last pregnancy. Don’t share names until the baby is here. People get so annoying. Like its their baby.
Unfortunately you can not choose your family. This will pass and as with all things you have to stand together with your husband. Remember that your husband is in a tough spot not just you. We’re talking the whole family on his side and the strain caused by his dad. You are not at fault. No one is because it isn’t a matter of wrongdoing. He is in a hard place because family is forever and no one can expect their spouse to completely cut off this family. It’s heartbreaking and very hurtful to live this way and miss out on many milestones that should be shared with your new baby. If it gets to the point where they are no longer in communication just be there to support him because he will be hurting inside and act fine outside. When it’s our very own bloodline it hurt much worse than watching our spouses hurt.
I would distance yourself from the guy, name your son whatever you want and no contact is the best
Nope, let the old man go… block him on EVERYTHING. To include your fiancé, BLOCK HIM! Do not include him on anything bc he can go be disrespectful elsewhere.
Geybridnof him now, before the kids ask questions.
We got rid of my partners toxic AF family and in over a year my kids haven’t mentioned any of them at all. Pure bliss.
Not his baby, not his choice. If he wants to throw a fit regardless of the explanation you didn’t owe him, that is his problem. You should be focused on your health and the baby, not some grown man who is throwing a tantrum even after you appeased him with the middle name request.

Tell them you are thinking about it but from now on the baby name you two have picked will be secret till everyone finds out after his birth. Then name that child anything you want. They had their chance to name their children and now this is YOUR child and you will name him Grantely if you want to.
Your future FIL needs to sit down. I have no idea what his problem actually is, but it’s his problem, not yours. Until he can be respectful and stop running his mouth, cut all contact with him (not the rest of the family).
Fiancé??? Three kids??? Beautiful example for the children.
Your decision and your fiances, nothing to do with th in laws. Sadly there is always one who makes a fuss, be strong and stand your ground…
Oh gosh 
just name the baby grantley. who cares if he’s grieving that’s his problem and if he don’t like it tell him bye-bye

Honestly, to play devils advocate, I’m with the dad to a point: Grantley IS a stupid name.
However, with that being said, if the dad is really willing to not have a relationship with the baby because of the name, then he can go fuck himself 
that’s a stupid reason
IGNORE THEM. It’s your baby, your choice what to name it. Fuck them.
and anyone who claims this is a sensitive subject can just fuck off. It’s not like this was recent.
Your baby your choice if you gove in to this then he wpill control you for the rest of your life
I named my daughter Nova after an old car my deceased uncle used to own. I see nothing wrong with the name and i definitely see nothing wrong with giving your baby the name after a deceased loved one if that was what you were doing. I’m having my second child and if we have another girl, she will get my granny’s name that has recently passed. I think it is a beautiful thing to do! Just remember thatbits your baby. Your choice and let it go.
It’s your choice on naming this baby nobody else’s
Tell his dad to stick it where the sun don’t shine. It’s your baby and you will do whatever you please. And he simply doesn’t get to spend time with your kids until he apologizes and acts like a damn adult. Also block his number. You DO NOT need the extra stress let your man deal with it. And if he tries to come at you after your fiancé leaves just punch him in his stupid face
It’s disgusting behaviour your choice. Not his
My mom calls my son Charlie, his middle name is Charles. She, although not as extreme as your father in law, also did not care for my child’s first name. His name is Ruckus. It’s my child and I can name him Jimmy crack corn, if I feel so inclined. 🤷 What your father in law does is his business, he makes his own choices. You do you and name that baby what you like and he can deal or step back, that’s his choice.
You tried. If he cant behave in an acceptable manner for the babys sake stay away. Hopefully one day he’ll change his ways but it’s not your job to compensate for it. Dont force the baby to deal with toxic people just because they’re “family”.
When I was pregnant I had chose the Name Christopher Micheal my dad had a fit said he hated that name and that he would never call him that I just said he was my son and that was the name I had chosen I also told him he was welcome to call him by his middle name Micheal but by the time my son was born he had softened and has always called him Chris till the day he passed and they were extremely close so just let it go tell him he can call him Ray if that makes him feel better
Name the baby what you want. He’s not going to call the baby that anyway. And if he still causes you probs while dad’s away at boot camp, block him. I get u r trying to be nice but seriously, he’s being a jerk and you are accommodating it. Sounds like daddy is already fed up as well. Stand your ground. Love your baby. Name him what you want.
Nobody liked my daughters name because traditionally it’s spelled with an “I” And I spelled it with a “Y”. They got over it. If he doesn’t chill when the baby is born, resents it over the name, just cut him out of your life. Don’t invite to the kids birthdays
Tell him he can give birth and name that child!! This one is yours! Remember ,you don’t have to give it middle name of Ray either !.
