Dealing with ppl who have comments on my baby name

Hubs and I really like the name Forest (to us, it means free spirited) for our baby boy. But our parents and in laws are against it. Saying that its too american, not nice, etc. Even our friends were like “really meh, you want to name him that”. Not going to lie… I was quite annoyed and affected by their comments. Should I change baby names or stick with the one we prefer 😮‍💨

Maybe take into consideration other names as well but if in the end you and your husband still keep going back to Forest and you guys really like the name you shld stick with it. (:
