Dear Mike Cares, how would you answer this Dear Abby? *The case of the mistresses baby name.

DEAR ABBY: I recently gave birth to our second child, a girl. Shortly afterward, my husband called his mother. She lives in a different state hours away and visits only once a year. When he told her the happy news and our little girl's name, which we had kept a secret, she became very upset. It seems the name we had chosen, unbeknownst to us, was that of her husband's mistress from years ago.

For days afterward, she would call my husband crying and pleading with him to change our baby's name, telling him he should never have kept it a secret. She told him she would never speak that name. A week later, we received a generous gift of baby clothes in the mail from her. At this point, she hasn't checked in with me, the one who gave birth. She refuses to acknowledge our baby's name and will refer to her only as "little one."

I don't know how to thank her for her generous gift, as normally I would just call her. But it's clear she doesn't want to hear from me. Could you please advise how we move forward? -- WRONG NAME IN PENNSYLVANIA

DEAR WRONG NAME IN PENNSYLVANIA: Your mother in law sounds like a total mental patient, as most are! The odds that your father in law was banging some broad with the same name as your newborn is a million to one, unless he was dick slinging a bunch of broads then any name would likely set your mother in law off. So obviously don’t change the baby’s name unless you want check off a long list of girls you father in law laid (pun intended) claim to. I say let your mother in law call your newborn “little one” as long as your little one can grow up to call her “Grandcrazy.” Oh and send a thank you note from (insert baby’s real name here) and add, “big wet kisses to (insert father in laws name here!)”
