I’m pregnant with baby number 4 and I have completely fallen head over heels for a baby girl name. My oldest is Moxxie, oldest boy is Copper, and youngest boy is Docker. I really love Luckie for this last baby girl of mine but my family, mom and sister, aren’t liking it at all. My husband, and I love it and no other baby girl name has clicked quite like this one. We’ve had Eivie picked out for Copper if he was a girl and Indie picked out for Docker if he was a girl but those were more settled on than loved like Luckie.
I know this name won’t be a favorite of a lot of people but I’m not out to please other people. It just feels so right…so perfect.
Has anyone else went against the norm and family to name their baby? Do they eventually accept it?
This hasn’t happened to me, but here are some thoughts:
That is your husband’s and your baby. You are the ones naming her. Not them. Your opinion matters most 
They will just have to accept it.
First off, congratulations! Secondly, I don’t have children but I do have a large extended family who can be quite opinionated 
[name_f]My[/name_f] advice is to ignore them and let their comments die down over time. This is YOUR TIME to name your children. They’ve had their go and if the name feels like perfection to you then you should stick with it. Chances are, as soon your family meet your new little one, and they realise the name you have picked is THE NAME and you aren’t suddenly going to drop it because of a few choice comments, then they’ll let it go eventually. So stick with your gut feeling!
I hoped this has helped somewhat 
PS: Your children have fabulous names and luckie seems like the perfect fit to go with moxxie, copper & docker 
Luckie seems like a neat choice for a fourth baby. It makes me think of lucky four-leaved clovers 
It’s definitely a bold choice but feels very in-step with the unique names you’ve picked for your other children. I think it’s a good fit for you, and as others have said, this is your baby to name, not your aunt or grandmother’s.
Go for it!
The four leaf clover is a cool link to Lucjy! I never thought of that. [name_f]My[/name_f] daughter is actually the one who said it and it was just like, “Yup, that’s it!” She saw a [name_f]Spirit[/name_f] commercial which brought on the idea.
I have never had children myself but everyone I’ve ever spoken to says that if they could do it over, they’d keep the name a secret from everyone except their partner until the baby is born - people tend to have a lot to say when it feels like more of a “hypothetical situation” (i.e. not set in stone because the baby isn’t born yet) because they see an opportunity to influence your decision.
People also react badly to things at the outset but 9 times out of 10 will get used to something with time!
Once your daughter is born your family will love her and hopefully that love will influence how they feel about her name. And if not - tough luck! She’s your baby, you’re the one who will be carrying and giving birth to her, getting up multiple times a night, changing nappies, teaching her everything, being there for her, doing all the hard work! If they want to name a baby they can get one of their own.
For what it’s worth, [name_m]Luckie[/name_m] is fabulous with your other children’s names! It fits perfectly. I like it as a name, reminds me of the model [name_u]Lucky[/name_u] [name_u]Blue[/name_u] [name_m]Smith[/name_m].
Good luck 
I’d say go for it!! It’s your baby after all
I say go for it! It’s your child after all, and it’ll grow on them.
I second this! Different meeting a hypothetical [name_m]Luckie[/name_m] vs putting a baby in their hand and saying “her names is Luckie.”
We dropped a name from our boy list during our recent pregnancy because my mom hated it. I figured I wanted to know ahead of time if someone who was actually going to be around our son two or three times a week loathed his name. That said, it was not The Name; we both liked it enough that it was Top 3 material, but it wasn’t a name we had adored for years or that we both decided “That’s it!” I think if it had been The Name for both of us, we would’ve kept it.
We had a girl anyway 
If it’s The Name, I’d say keep it.
That’s one thing about the name [name_m]Luckie[/name_m]. I suggested it to my hubby who has shot down numerous names and he agreed 100%. No arguing or maybes.
[name_m]Luckie[/name_m] reminds me of the [name_f]Britney[/name_f] Spears song about a girl with the same name…
Has your family usually been against your name choices?
If so, then I’d likely roll it off my back. Everyone has different naming styles and theirs clearly isnt yours. If they do usually like your choices maybe it might not hurt to find out what their reservations are-
Honestly, I’m never a fan of sharing “the name” with others beforehand because of instances like what you’re experiencing.
But at the end of the day it sounds like if you and your husband believe you are settled on the name then thats what matters.
You love the name, and you are the ones having the children. At the end of the day, it’s not your family’s decision what you name your child. It’s yours to make.
Any child would be more than grateful to be named a name that their parents love.
Good luck! <3
I mean you already got a kid named Moxxie…that’s the vibe and they need to catch up. [name_f]My[/name_f] personal take is like if you’re not pushing out the kid or raising it your vote on the name is very low. I understand how other people like that positive feedback of your family agreeing with you, but its unnecessary and like I mean politely listen to the critique…and keep doing what you want. [name_m]Luckie[/name_m] is cute and literally nobody knows what wild stuff is going to happen in the future.
Since they don’t like [name_m]Luckie[/name_m], the character from which your daughter derived the name is actually named [name_f]Fortuna[/name_f], [name_u]Lucky[/name_u] is her nn. See how your family likes that, if they don’t like it then you say, “oh good, then we’re agreed, [name_m]Luckie[/name_m] is better.”
I think if you love it you should go for it! I prefer the spelling [name_u]Lucky[/name_u] but otherwise I think it’s a great name!
[name_f]Do[/name_f] it! In my opinion this is exactly why you shouldn’t reveal the name until after the child is born. Stuff like this happens.
I actually adore [name_m]Luckie[/name_m]! I think it’s super cute. This is your baby, you name her what you want. they’ll get over it!
I also have to add how great Moxxie and [name_m]Luckie[/name_m] are together!
I think [name_m]Luckie[/name_m] works very well with your other kids’ names and your family will definitely get over not liking it. I say go for it!
[name_m]Luckie[/name_m] is super cute with older siblings names! This isn’t your nana or your aunt’s turn to name babies - it’s yours and your partners. I’ve experienced backlash from family over some names I like (not expecting but discussed when SIL was) and my own mom had to remind me of that - they’ve had their turns, and now it’s yours!
Also, love the [name_f]Britney[/name_f] Spears song, it’s my favourite of hers so [name_m]Luckie[/name_m] gives me very nostalgic vibes!
