Clicky: Junior
Re: Clicky: Junior
I don't necessarily hate it, but I'm not a fan of it. Let the kid have his own name! Also, it makes me think of the south for some reason. My aunt is named after my grandmother and one of my cousins is named after his dad.
my currently-reading shelf:
Maybe that's true, it's southern/cultural. Most of DH's fam/friends name oldest son after dad. I'm not a big fan of it. I like it for a middle name though.
I think so too. My cousin is named after his dad- Buddy Wayne. They also do the two first name thing which sees to be pretty popular in the South.
A middle name wouldn't be too bad.
my currently-reading shelf:
Wow, really? Everyone else so far is "hate it!"?
I don't want junior. But, "Charles" (not the name I go by, so fine with sharing it) is a family name. So I want one of our kids to be Charles or, if its a girl, a feminine version of Charles (Charlotte, Carla, Carlotta, whatever).

We plan on giving any male baby DH's middle name (a family name for the past 3-4 generations), but I feel like first names are best to keep to 1 person. (ETA for clarity, boy babies will have the same middle name as DH)
I might consider naming a child the same name as another family member if that person passed away before the child was born.

I think family names are OK, variations, middle names, etc. I just don't like John James Smith naming son John James Smith Jr. Or John James Smith Jr. naming son John James Smith III. Plus, it gets confusing when people call and ask for John and you have to say, which one? Or then he goes by JJ or Jr. or James just to be different...

Well, I neither love it, nor do I hate it. It's just not for me/us. DH is a "junior", but not legally on his birth certificate. He only uses the junior if he's trying to differentiate himself from his father for some reason or another. When we were thinkiing of boy names, he wanted to keep Juan in the name, but not as a first name, but as a middle name to keep it going that way.
