He wants to nickname my daughther Matt!!!?

Question

I have a normal feminine name...Tiffany. My oldest daughter's has a normal feminine name (in the united states anyway) Alexis. I am planning on naming my daughter Madelene (or Madeline...haven't decided on which spelling in better) Desiree. Her father,has a feminine name, Kenyata. His sister has a boys( maybe uni-sexual) name, Demetrius. He keeps referring to our unborn baby as Matt when he rubs my stomach. I can't stand it. She is not a boy, what's up with all this confusion? It makes me feel like he is planning on walking on her like a doormat or something when he says it. Other than burn him at the stake like a salem witch or sicking wild dogs on him, what can I do to make him stop? Btw, I am not changing her name. I really like it.I think that her nickname should be Lynn.

Update:

I am completely sure that he is calling her Matt. I asked him and I told him to spell it to be sure. If you are a boy do you want your father to call you Sally...I am having a girl, I am not trying to be controlling I just dont think that calling my baby girl Matt should be acceptable.

My husband originally wanted to name our daughter Charlotte, just so he could call her Charlie. WTF is it with guys? LOL. I would just tell him that HER name is Madeline, and HER nickname will be Maddy [or Lynn] or nothing at all.

Desire is a beautiful name. And in my opinion Madeline is a better spelling of the name. 

 Anyway, I think you need to sit down and have a serious talk with the father. Look at him in the eyes and ask, 'Are you expecting a boy?' or 'Why do you keep calling her Matt? She's a lady and needs a feminine and cute name...Not Matt.' Try to negotiate with him if he wants to find a new name for her. Matt is a boy name though. Good Luck, Hope he stops calling her that and good luck with the pregnancy.

No, Matt would not artwork as a nickname for Yamato. it extremely works for Matthew or Matteo. Are you jap? it could desire to be extraordinary on your infant having a jap first call if there is no longer jap (or a minimum of asian) background till you reside in Japan.

Are you sure he's saying "Matt" and not "Mad?"  I think you're being kinda controlling here.  Nicknames usually come from affection, I doubt very much that your daughter's father is trying to mock your unborn child by giving her a male nickname.

And even if he were, who cares?  It won't be a big deal unless you make it one.  You'll probably just give me a thumbs down and ignore everything I'm saying here, but the names people give us shape who we are.  Oftentimes, the more original they are, the more unique a person we grow up to be.  A girl referred to as "Matt" by her father may just end up with an extremely dynamic and charismatic personality.

Isn't that what's more important?

Maddy is cute, but MATT!? Ew. Don't change your name all around, just tell him to call her Maddy instead and stop with the Matt.
