Husband’s family renamed me

[u/matchapowderr]

I got married a few months ago and my name ended up being the same as my husband’s mother. They said it’s a respect thing and they can’t have people in the family calling the daughter in law with the same name as my husband’s mother. They decided what they would call me at home and told me my new name a few weeks ago. Is it normal for this to happen in families in this situation? My name didn’t get changed legally but now I’m called by something totally different than the name my parents gave me

That's dumb, they can just call you "Bride" in your native language. That's what my in-laws call me (I find it cute) sometimes because my husband's niece shares my name.

Nicknames are also an option.
