About to become a grandmother how do I broach my disdain with the name choices.

My(24f) 3yo(3f) has announced she’s giving birth. It is a bit of a shock to the family, but we’re rallying round. Obviously I’m thrilled to become a grandmother.

She’s having “lots and lots” of babies, including a boy(0m) and a girl(0f). The girl she plans to call Alice, which love, but the boy is set to be named Beebo. have to be honest, fellow namenerds – don’t love it. I’m worried when the babies are here (tomorrow) that I’ll struggle to bond with Beebo(0m) compared to his sister(0f), because it’s just not a name at all.

I’ve tried gently suggesting alternatives, to no avail. Maybe a nickname might help? Do we think Tommy is too much of a stretch from Beebo as a nickname? Or maybe Jack? I’m struggling here and just wondered if anyone has any advice.
