'I want to name my baby after my stepmother - but I'm worried my mum will be livid'

An expectant mother has admitted she's fearful that she'll upset people's feelings after she and her husband fell in love with a name that could cause offence to other family members.

Taking to the popular parenting forum site Mumsnet, the anonymous user has sparked a debate online after claiming that they want to name their baby daughter after her husband's late stepmother, using her name as a middle name. However, they fear that this will upset her husband's mum.

Admitting that she 'can't stop thinking about the name', the woman has sought advice on whether she should choose to moniker that they both 'really love' or whether they should settle for something else completely different.
