Just curious...?
Answer:
Personally I think that it's a beautiful name. You have the right to name your baby, and your mother-in-law might not like it, but she had her chance to name her kids.
Since the father loves the name, and so do you, then go for it and forget what the mother inlaw says.
A unique name can be so much better than the name that every other girl has! Trust me I had 27 girls in my high school class with the same first name. I'd rather have a unique name!
lay off the crack pipe
its not horrible, but shes going to get made fun of in school. Lilac is a good middle name, Raspberry is a bit much though.
It is different and you know what you are the one that is going to be laying in pain of having your baby not anyone else including your mother in law so if i were you i would name my child what ever i wanted to.
Being pregnant for 9 months, going into labor and delivering a baby naturally or by a c-section entitles you to name your baby what YOU want.
Good luck and Congrats
Get real, perhaps you can change it by deed poll, before she grows up and changes it herself.
It sounds like a member of the Strawberry Shortcake dolls collection.
Just wait until she is in school and you will hear all about it.
U LIKE IT...U KEEP IT!!!
BUT IT IS A WEIRD NAME!!GIVE HER A PET NAME BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS PLZ!!!
Woww! a very unusual name! Its just wonderful. I love it! :-)
i think she will be made fun of in school and really hate her name, any chance u are i hippie?
Your kid is going to get attacked by raspberry jelly. Call me a prophet, it will happen.
I feel terribly for your daughter. She's going to have a miserable life. :(
Sounds hippy. I'm not saying it's bad. For business purposes I would changed it to Ras for the professional sound. Unless she's in entertainment then the name is perfect.
Mom in law opinion doen't count. My opinion does not count. Dad's does. And so will your daughter's when she starts getting razzed about it in school. Do her a favor & get to her teachers before she starts school to call her only Lilac. Better yet, change the poor kid's name.
Haha! I mean no disrespect, but she sounds like what a new Strawberry Shortcake character should be named. You know, there's a good chance your girl herself might hate the name when she grows up a little and gets teased to no end. It's a cute name, but being named after a fruit isn't the best thing for a little girl.
On a more serious note, have you thought about whether your daughter will be taken seriously by people during her adult life?
IMO, it's an interesting name.
Your mother-in-law is probably conservative, thus not approving of this unusual name.
Then again, there are more people having unusual names these days. Quote: "Modern names = Unusual names". Your daughter's name definitely sounds good to me though. Sounds better than Kiwi (a fruit).
Raspberry Lilac - yeah, definitely gets a positive feeling.
Better than "Sir One", or "Sir Two" that I heard of in Malaysia.
well mother-n-laws never like what daughter-n-laws have picked out , for some crazy reason they hardly like what there sons pick out lololol! just kidding
me personally I don't think it would be very good when school starts she may not like that very well but it's you and your spouse so whatever you both like don't let no one change it but you might try getting rid of raspberry ( sorry) You ask the question i want to be truthful!
i've heard of Peaches before and i like that but you may not
it is a little weird and people will not take her serious when she is an adult. you can make either one of those her middle name but as a first name that sucks
I love it ! you never hear it that's why i like it i named my kid Havana Rain because you never hear it i don't like names that you hear all the time
The close minded are the only people who won't be able to get past the first name. Their children are the ones that would be rude enough to taunt a child about his/her name. To be perfectly honest.yes, Raspberry is a very different name. At least she won't have to be Hannah B. or Ashley M. because every other girl in her classes name is her own. That's the result of unimaginative parents that follow societies 'guidelines'. I have met many interesting and uninteresting people with unusual names. Those are the people you remember and stick out in your mind. As for your mother in-law she will eventually accept your daughter as Raspberry Lilac, and be unable to see her as anything else.
if you and your husband love the name, thats all that matters..dont worry about your mother and law she is your bunde of joy first and for most before she is yours,,,i actually find it rude that she would voice this to you and your partner...ps i think it is a lovely name
Its different thats for sure. I dont want to sound mean but she will get teased when she gets older you know that dont you, it sounds like an ice cream. But if you like it thats all that matters and Its got nothing to do with your mother in law she'll get over it! She dosnt have a choice really!!
I dont like it. it sounds commercialized. Like a description of a food or a name of a paint.
Rose Lilac? no, oh, how about Lilly Rose?
Violet Rose?
you have the right to name your daughter what you want, but with that being said, name her something respectable. that she can grow into, Please dont name her Rasberry.
i like the name lilac that is unusual but i think raspberry should be her second name . you wont have to put up with the taunts in school and you wont always be there when the kids are being really cruel. ive heard alot of name calling from kids.. and its not nice but it happens alot ,kids can be so cruel.
thats ugly the worst name i have ever heard of
Well I'm 43 years old, and my mother in-law hated my daughters "Hippy" name in 1983,,,Rhiannon after the Fleetwood Mac tour.I think Raspberry Lilac is sooooooooooooo cool. And my daughter who is now 24 told me to tell you, "Go with it"...It's beautiful, unique, and you love it...That's what counts...In high school, all her friends will probably call her "Razz" for short...I absolutely love it! Good luck.. : )
She sure will get razed in school a lot. Sounds like a name of a cabbage patch kid to me. What are the parent's names ? strange ones also. Someday you will agree, we never should have named her this.
Razy pazy puddin and pie , kissed the boys and made them cry.
Will the name, Raspberry Lilac, be spoken of with respect or disdain ?
The lovingly principled, morally guided upbringing in a healthy, joyful home, by mom and dad, will be her best shield against
the negative she may encounter. The building, or destruction, of this foundation will determine her chances of success, or failure,
in life.
Grandma will probably give her a nickname. Big Deal. That's what grandmas do. Don't sweat it.
Raspberry Lilac... I like it!
