I'm sorry, did they say he'll hate you? You mean thank you for naming him something
awesome? Powerful, majestic, guards treasures, symbolic of divine power? Courage, boldness, strength, leadership, intelligence? I mean really the problem is that it's symbolic of
too much awesome stuff.

But if that did not convince you, remember you like it and your husband likes it and your in-laws already named
their babies and you shouldn't worry what
they like. I'm sure they won't be crying themselves to sleep at night "oh no she named him griffin". They will GET OVER IT.
