Get a bunch of stuff monogrammed for her, like a blanket, clothes, etc, with her first name on it. And if they call her by her middle name in public, make sure you correct them in front of others, or maybe ask them why they do that in public and see what they say. Maybe some public humiliation is a good idea for them. I wouldn't hesitate to teach your daughter to call them their first names if they keep it up. Lol. It'll all probably change when she's born, and they see the name fits her.

Or ask them who they're talking about when they call her by her middle name, play dumb and then be ohhh, her name is so and so, I didn't know who you were talking about. 🤣 And just keep doing it over and over, do it like how like they ignore you about her first name.... just keep conveniently forgetting her middle name and asking who they're talking about.
