'Mother-in-law is furious at my baby name - but she's not controlling me'

A fed-up parent has hit their limit after their mother-in-law slammed their unique baby name choice.

The frustrated parent took to Reddit to vent about the situation, revealing the contentious moniker .

Their post read: "My mother-in-law is giving me so much grief over our baby name choice . Please be honest on what you think?

• 'My sister stole my baby name and then refused to back down - I'm refusing to let her meet my daughter'
• 'I'm due this week but Trump's shooter has put me off my baby name - what now?'

"We chose Alphabeta Silver and plan on calling her Betty for short. We love grammar and literature and instantly agreed when we heard the name and my mother-in-law isn't going to make any more choices for us.

"She's been in charge of everything from how we took our engagement pictures to the ins and outs of our wedding day, but this is where I put my foot down!"

Reddit users quickly joined the squabble, offering their two cents on the matter.

One commenter remarked: "For loving grammar and literature so much, they really don't have much of an imagination if all they came up with was to name their kid alphabet."

Another quipped: "Alphabetti Spaghetti for short."

A third person commented: "Honestly, if my son has kids wants to call his kid 'Alphabeta Silver' I would probably give him and his partner some grief too. I generally disagree with grandparents judging names, but that's for normal/semi-normal names. This is a name that 99% of people will agree is dumb."

Yet another suggested: "Like, if you love literature, name it after a beloved character from literature."

Another member of the public, sharing their thoughts on potential baby names, stated: "My baby name litmus test is 'how is this going to look on a job application when this person grows up and enters the working world.'"
