I cannot believe that a person could be that rude to her daughter! Even if she doesn't approve of Jeremy's lifestyle, it is neither the time or place to discuss it. You made your choice for your own reasons, which make sense to me.

When my wife was pregnant with our only child, we chose two names. A boy would be named Jeremy! Great name! But, we had a girl. We had no problems with my parents or my in-laws as far as the name was concerned. We decided that a boy's name would start with J, or a girl with L, out of respect to precious relatives that have passed on. For middle names, the boy would have my middle name, as did my father and grandfather. The girl would have the middle name Rae, after my sister (who happens to be developmentally disabled) and my elderly aunt, two people that we love very much. No judgments calls from anyone. It was our choice to make.

Tell your mother to grow up!
