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 😮‍💨

You have the right to name your baby however you like but would need to also take note if the name will have them being teased when theyre in school or even bullied. As kids are all very and always bully others.
