<![CDATA[Dear Abby: My husband and I unwittingly gave our baby girl the same name as my father-in-law’s mistress]]>https://www.nj.com/advice/2023/02/dear-abby-my-husband-and-i-unwittingly-gave-our-baby-girl-the-same-name-as-my-father-in-laws-mistress.htmlhttps://www.nj.com/advice/2023/02/dear-abby-my-husband-and-i-unwittingly-gave-our-baby-girl-the-same-name-as-my-father-in-laws-mistress.htmlWed, 08 Feb 2023 09:00:00 +0000DEAR ABBY: I recently gave birth to our second child, a girl. Shortly afterward, my husband called his mother. She lives in a different state hours away and visits only once a year. When he told her the happy news and our little girl’s name, which we had kept a secret, she became very upset. It seems the name we had chosen, unbeknownst to us, was that of her husband’s mistress from years ago.

For days afterward, she would call my husband crying and pleading with him to change our baby’s name, telling him he should never have kept it a secret. She told him she would never speak that name. A week later, we received a generous gift of baby clothes in the mail from her. At this point, she hasn’t checked in with me, the one who gave birth. She refuses to acknowledge our baby’s name and will refer to her only as “little one.”
