Tiredofsame`ol Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 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.

xXSURFAGEXx Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 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: How about Florida if it's a girl?If it's a boy you might name it Paul. Does this help?

quankanne Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 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. Link to post Share on other sites
