I actually get it a lot....for her middle name. Her full name is Cheyanne Adalida Alexander. The comments I get (seriously) are that im rude and terrible for giving her such a long name, she will resent me for having two George Strait songs as a name, Adalida is too unusual and she will hate it....etc. DF's sister threw the BIGGEST fit when I was in the hospital. She called literally every 5-10 minutes for around an hour trying to convince us to name her something different. And ohhhh nooooo it wasn't something I could choose. It had to be THEIR suggestions. They weren't the ones pregnant. No questions asked, they have no say. She even went as far as to call her mother in Arizona to whine and throw a fit so her mom would call and bully us into picking something different. She called back and told DF "mom said you shouldn't name her that, pick something else" and finally he told her that if she couldn't STFU she needed to not call anymore.
Now most of his family has gotten use to it, and like it. I cringe when someone asks her name though. I always just say Cheyanne and leave it at that, but sometimes they ask the middle name. As soon as I say Adalida they always get a really serious look on their face and say something like "no way. Like the song? Are you serious?"
Yea, I damn sure am.
