'I've chosen a classic name for my daughter – but my family thinks it's ugly' Getting a second opinion on your baby's name can be risky.
Despite the name being considered a classic and even being mentioned in the popular Shakespeare play, The Tempest, half of the family thinks the name is "ugly".
I don't think it's particularly classic or trendy or tragically dated and ugly (which are basically the three camps the rest of the family are falling into), but I think it's cute, resilient, and holds the possibility of different potential nicknames as little Miranda finds herself.".
The aunt also said that, ultimately, it should be up to the parents to decide what name to give their daughter, regardless of what their family thinks.
If you're not set on a particular name for your baby, you might be tempted to float some suggestions to your family and friends to see what they think.
