'I picked a name for my daughter that sounds magical - but some say it's stuffy and old'

Choosing a baby name isn't always an easy task, and while you might be tempted to ask those close to you for their opinions on the name you're considering, you should always be prepared for them not to share the same taste you do.

And that's the exact situation one mum is facing after she found a baby name that she thought was "magical", but has had family and friends tell her it's "stuffy" and an "old lady name".

The mum-to-be revealed she's expecting a baby girl in September and wants to name her Greta because she believes the "classic" name suggests "independence and strength". Those close to her, however, don't share the same view and have advised her against using the moniker - and she's now worried her child will end up "resenting" it.
