Pushy mother pressures pregnant daughter-in-law to give her baby her maiden name despite nobody in the family using it: 'I raised you he didn't'

Names can carry with them big expectations. When you name your child, you begin to set them up for a certain kind of life. Of course, you can overcome a bad name, but it is something to overcome. People carry a lot of baggage when it comes to names. Certain first names might make you think of your middle school bully, and thus you might be less inclined to trust them, while other names are instantly comforting and remind you of someone you love. Some names seem totally wrong on people while some names fit perfectly. There's a strange alchemy to this phenomenon. 

But last names are a different deal altogether. They signify family, unity, and a sense of belonging. They tie people together in a public way. So it's no wonder that most families tend to want to have the same last name. That was true for one expectant mother until her mother-in-law had other ideas. Read on for the story.
