3 in mine and 2 in LOs.

3 in mine!

There are 2 in my name and 2 in LO's name.

2, but I don't think there is anything wrong with 4! We're considering several girl's names with 4.

2 in mine. 4 in LO's.
I think your MIL is just being difficult. If it's her granddaughter's name she can learn it. Even if it were a german multi-syllabic word full of consonants it's her job as a grandma to know it and know how to say it.

I have four in my name, it was fine. I agree, she's just being difficult. This is why we never discussed names with anyone, too many opinions. MIL and I were discussing names for a future child and she scrunched her nose up at so many of the ones I mentioned liking. Ugh.

@autumnlove: Maybe not, but she can come up with a cute nickname.

Is she a difficult person? We didn't share any names with my inlaws because I didn't want the input. It was actually really cute, M was born at 8:30am and they came to visit us at the hospital at 6pm. When they arrived they're already researched the history of the name, FIL had printed out some information he found and they were both excited to hear how we came up with it, discuss what they read, etc. I think that by waiting to make it a surprise, they were so excited about the arrival of their grandson that we could have called him poopypants and they would be been thrilled with the name

2 in mine, 3 in (future) LO's and 2 in DH's.

Two in mine and three in hubby's.

i have 3.

2 in mine, 2 in DH's, 3 in DD's name

3 in mine, 1 in hubs. We haven't picked a name for LO yet.

I think I would have a hard time not laughing out loud if someone told me the name I liked was a bad name because of the number of syllables. Hubs and I aren't sharing our name ideas with anyone. We will just announce the name once baby is born. We won't want unsolicited opinions. And you can't tell me you don't like the name once it's on my kid's birth certificate : )

LO and I both have 3 syllables in our first names. LO's full name (first, middle and last) is really long tho and has 10!

1!
