He is your baby. Name him what you want. They should be ashamed of themvelves if they will make fun of their grandbaby’s name. If they don’t like his name, then they don’t have to visit him. Enjoy your baby

Please make your child what you and your SO want and ignore every single other comment. My in-laws made comments about the names we chose as well. We stuck with them and have not regretted it once. We love all their names and the family sucked it up and dealt with it. I would tell them if their intentions are to make fun of your child in any way they are not family anyway.

My mom didn’t like the name I picked for my daughter but no ones opinion matters but mine and my husband’s. If they think it’s okay to make fun of a small child over their name, they don’t deserve to be around that child. Tell them to act like adults or they’ll never get to see their grandson.

My twins dad’s family didn’t like the names we had chosen for them (even though they were family names) and claimed they’d be made fun of when they go to school. Yet they have never been made fun of… Also they are not named after a holiday like their dad… A name that easily is made fun of. My twins have very old and unique family names and my newest baby is named after two of his great gpas. Some people don’t care for the first name but my husband and I do not care. We made him. We got to name him.

In-laws are assholes, the sooner u accept that and choose to live your life for u and not them the better off u will be. Name YOUR kid whatever u want and if they can’t handle not making fun of him then they don’t get the PRIVILEGE of being around him🤷🏼♀️

None of our family (mine and hubbys) liked the name we chose but we liked it so we named him it anyway. They soon forgot about it when he was born and all was fine when we told them that we’ve named him Rhys. It’ll be fine you choose what you like

If someone threatened to already bully my unborn child, they wouldn’t be invited to visit after delivery or future birthday parties, and my child would never be around them unsupervised.

Your baby’s grand parents are talking about they’re going to make fun of your son? They’re trying to control you using your emotions. Today it’s the name. Later it’ll be how you feed him, raise him in general etc. Don’t back down! I would however limit their involvement in your son’s life. Inform them that if undermine your parenting in anyway they won’t get to be in his life. Stick to it. One & done.

If they can’t show respect, and want to taunt a CHILD over them not getting their way on something, they don’t deserve to even have a relationship with that child.

Excuse the language but… tell them to SUCK IT! I’m sorry but it’s not their kid and they don’t get to have an opinion on what you name him. I named my kids what I wanted regardless of what others thought. Luka is a cute name and a completely reasonable name and not something totally crazy like little sweetmeat lol you do you!

I can understand them trying to pick out things he can be teased with, I did that with every name to make sure I wasn’t picking something that would cause my kids any grief later on in life… but Yuka!!!

Stick to your guns. If they want to act juvenile and bully your sons name then they dont have to see him.

What is it: Yuca, pronounced YOO-ka, is the root of the Cassava plant. Its name can be confusing because of its similarity to the southeastern United States desert plant native called the yucca (pronounced YUHK-a). The two are unrelated, though the spelling is often used interchangeably. We even had to check our shelves to make sure we had it right!
The large tapered yuca roots are similar in size and shape to a sweet potato and can be anywhere from one to several pounds in size. At the co-op, you can find yuca roots in the produce aisle. They look very much like its close cousins the yam and potato, with a rough, bark-like skin that must be removed by grating or peeling.
Yuca, or cassava, is a major staple food in the developing world, providing a basic diet for over half a billion people.[5] It is one of the most drought-tolerant crops, capable of growing on marginal soils. Here in the US, the name “tapioca” most often refers to the starch made from the yuca root.
Eh? My baby, my responsibility
Your baby correct? You name him what you want
Luka is a beautiful name. Not everyone agreed to what I named my son either (also a family of mostly girls) but the first time one of them everrr makes fun of my son is the last time they ever see him. I would never let anyone disrespect me or my son, even family

I think it’s a sweet name Name! Name your baby what you want-he’s your child! I just don’t get people that feel they need to share an opinion on your baby’s name. I guess I’m lucky-I never had anyone express an opinion on the name we chose for our son. Neither of my sisters had trouble with family expressing opinions about their babies names either, and they had 5 kids between them before I had my son.

Nobody liked the name I picked out for my daughter (Juniper) but I didn’t relent and it grew on them over time. I also considered the name Luka for my son, but went with Lucas as a compromise, as it was pretty much the same situation. I think you should just let it go, it’ll either grow on them, or if they’re so petty that they wouldn’t get over something like a name, they don’t sound like the best role models to have around anyway.
Nothing wrong with that name. My son’s name is Lukasi (ᓘᑲᓯ) and I call him Luka for short. Your baby = your rules.
Yes my mom. I told her I had names thanks deal with it. We dint talk much but that’s her loss
dont let them decide baby name u name what u want and like . believe me been there and i stilled named what i wanted or we wanted but my middle daughter doesnt like a name she gets called by her grandma nick name
I have a grandson named Luca and can’t imagine him being named anything else. 
I love that name! Ive always used it for usernames but spelt Lucca or Luca. Its YOUR baby. Dont let them bring you down!
Like I told my daughter two months ago, this is yours and your husband’s baby. Name him/her whatever you want. It doesn’t matter who else likes it or dislikes it.
name Yuka means Reason, Fragrance, Flower and is of Japanese origin. Your baby name him as you please their opinion don’t matter.
If they want to name a baby they can have their own. If they want to tease your kid for their name then tell them you won’t bring him around them then.
My family hated my son’s name (Kylan ((Ky-Lynn)) ) and I ignored every negative response they had to it. It was my child, my choice. Once he was born it caught on and they didn’t say anymore negative comments about it. I think that because I was so unbothered by their negativity that they just stopped bothering with it

Happened when I named my son Chandler. Everyone on his dad’s side hated it His middle name is Jacob so they call him CJ. I also wanted to name my daughter Monroe but everyone made me feel so bad about it so I changed my mind and she is now 7 and I wish I would have kept Monroe. Other people really don’t matter when this is your child
Yucca is a vegetable so I’m assuming his family is Caribbean, probably Puerto Rican like me. I actually like the name Luka. It sounds cool. Who cares what they think. It’s not their kid and they will love him no matter what. Just be prepared that they may give him a nickname and not a joking one because like you said he’s gonna be a boy, so he will be their treasure.
