Don't want to name baby after mother

I'm having a baby any day now and a couple of months ago I suggested a name to my husband. It's my mother's name. His mother was in the car when I suggested the name to him and he asked me her opinion. It just so happened it's also the name of her sister who passed away a few years ago. I didn't know this. But I just merely suggested the name, nothing definite. My mother and I have never had a great relationship but in recent weeks more so. She didn't even show up to my babyshower. I just found out she bad mouths me to family and discusses my previous marriage to my current husband. I don't feel I should name my child after her, but because his aunt was named the same he wants it. And his mother has taken to call the baby already by this name. I know this may sound trivial but this is a name I would have to say and hear for the rest of my life and I'm realizing more about my mother recently than I've known before. I don't know what to do.

Well,seems like the name would be an important subject in this topic.Now how to name it you ask?Pick a name that's not similar to anyone.A random name I guess.Like a name that doesn't rhyme with a bad word,example for boys,Jerry-Fairy and boys don't like that.For girls Amy-Lamy meaning lame.

So pick something that's a good name.My name stinks it rhymes with teddy!:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: How about Florida if it's a girl?If it's a boy you might name it Paul.

 

Does this help?

talk with your husband about maybe splitting the difference -- that the baby's middle name can be same as his aunt's but that you prefer to give child a name of her own but still have the family name (offer to make it a good hollering name, like "Grace Elizabeth!" or "John Anthony!" something that sounds good when you're fussing at said child or calling him/her in for dinner for the nth time. Believe me, this will break the ice by getting a good laugh).

 

my thought is that if you give Baby a family name for the middle name, everybody's happy.
