A mum claims she's been left dismayed after discovering the real reason why her in-laws never refer to her two-year-old son by his real name. According to this saddened mother, her little boy has a "lovely" nature-inspired name, but she admits it is a bit "unusual", in a similar vein to names such as "Bear, Finch, and Cedar."
She has long been aware that her husband's parents aren't all too keen on the name. After giving birth, she sent them a pic from the hospital, however, she felt they deliberately responded in such a way that they didn't have to actually mention or compliment their choice of name.
Furthermore, they have never referred to the toddler by his real name, instead choosing to refer to him as "gorgeous little boy" or "the little one." After getting her sister to do a bit of digging, her long-held suspicions have now been confirmed.
