The name you choose for your baby is special, it's important to you and you expect your family to respect that.
But what happens when they don't?
This is what a Mumsnet user had to deal with when her own mother refused to call her granddaughter by her real name.
The mum wrote, ''My youngest is called Cassia. It's not hard. My four-year-old calls her Cass or Cassie. Fine.''
She continued, ''My mother says she can't do 'exotic foreign names' and calls her Candy which I HATE! 've spoken to her about it a billion times (probably an exaggeration but not by much) she laughs it off. I'm scared it will stick.''
She added, ''My husband says he will start calling her Jelly if she carries on and she tells him not to be so disrespectful. Any advice apart from the very tempting gaffer tape over the mouth solution?"
Her post got a lot of responses from fellow mums whose opinions varied.
One said, ''You should both call her Jelly (or whatever - mumsywumsy?!) until she gets your DDs name right. Complaints about disrespect should be reflected back "we'll disrespect you until you stop disrespecting our choice of name". I don't usually recommend tit for tat, but this is an exception!''
While another wrote, ''Urgh. That would drive me mad. Tell her again and when she laughs tell her it’s not funny and you feel hurt that she can’t call your daughter by her name. It’s so rude.''
What do you think - is she reacting fairly or is it ok from the grandmother to call her whatever name she wants?
