angel eyes Posted July 17, 2001 Share Posted July 17, 2001 My guy and i were talking about how can we name our future kids. he came out with this name for a girl,the same name of his childhood crush which he said is one of the reasons on why he likes it. i felt a little bit jealous because i thought he would name our daughter after me. do you think is a good idea to name your kids after a crush?

Miss Mojo Posted July 17, 2001 Share Posted July 17, 2001 hi angel eyes, as long as your boyfriend's childhood crush wasn't doris day, i don't think you have too much to worry about. my favourite boy's name ever happens to be my ex's name...that would kinda suck for a future partner!!! i won't use it because he was more than just a crush. if it was just a crush, i'd be more than happy to use it oneday. besides, we like to associate names with good feelings or good people. hey, you may not even have a girl so don't stress too much about it....you may not even end up having children with him, you just can't say. maybe if he didn't have a crush on this girl, he'd still like the name. of course, when you have kids you have every right to disagree. i sure as hell wouldn't want my future husband calling my future daughter 'doris'. don't stress about it. if you don't like the name, you don't have to use it. it should be a mutual decision and it should also go with the surname of the child. don't be jealous....if he still wanted his crush badly, he wouldn't be discussing having children with you...and hey, her name might be a nice one even if he didn't once have a crush on her. cross that bridge when you come to it.

Tony T Posted July 17, 2001 Share Posted July 17, 2001 Congratulations on coming such a long way in your relationship in the last week. Now, you're working on naming your future kids...that's GREAT!!! I think it's just a little inappropriate to name children after people you've had a crush on. As a matter of fact, it's actually pretty sick and a sign that your partner may not have completely moved from that place. He may still have somewhat of a crush on the image or memory of that person. I think there are a whole lot of things to keep you and your guy entertained besides thinking of kids' names. If you've explored every single aspect of each other to the point where you are naming future kids now, you may just need a vacation from each other...or go find some new hobbies. There are some great new movies out this week. No, no naming kids after people either of you have had a crush on, have dated, have screwed, or whatever. Go by a book of names and get some good ideas. And find some new, fun things to do. Wait until you're pregnant to name the kids. As a matter of fact, give the kids some responsibilities right off...and make them name themselves.

Miss Mojo Posted July 17, 2001 Share Posted July 17, 2001 ...does he like the name because it's a nice one that happens to belong to an old crush??? or does he like it because it is his old crush?? (get mar drift??...i'm having a mentally challenging afternoon) Link to post Share on other sites
