Another baby name poll
This is inspired by Star's dh being the 8th (right?) with his first name....
-If your son was going to be the Xth boy with the same family name would you keep the tradition going?
-Would your Dh insist that his son be named with the family name or would he be "meh" about it?
Re: Another baby name poll
-If your son was going to be the Xth boy with the same family name would you keep the tradition going? Probably not. If it was very important to my DH, then yes... but knowing him, he wouldn't want to either.
-Would your Dh insist that his son be named with the family name or would he be "meh" about it? Guess I sort of answered that- I don't think he'd be all about it. He wasn't even sure about using his FN as Nolan's MN.
That being said, we aren't huge on family names. I like people to have their own identity. I can be on board with using family names as MN's, but it's just not that high on our priority list... likely because it's not "done" in our families.
Our crazy, wonderful life
-If your son was going to be the Xth boy with the same family name would you keep the tradition going? Truly, it would depend on the name. If it was something ridiculously horrible, I would fight to not use it, but otherwise, I would consider it if it was important to DH/his family.
-Would your Dh insist that his son be named with the family name or would he be "meh" about it? I doubt he would care. We went back and forth on Sawyer's middle name right up until he was born because I thought we should use his middle name, which is a prominent family name within his family, but DH fought me on it because he said he "deserved his own name." I never expected it because he doesn't dislike his middle name (William), and it makes me think he wouldn't really want to use a family name, but it might depend on the situation.

If H wanted to keep the tradition going, I wouldn't mind. There isn't that tradition on his side though, so it didn't matter in the end
-Would your Dh insist that his son be named with the family name or would he be "meh" about it?
I don't know how he'd feel
On my side, the Jr, III thing is very common. There are three WCH, three MWP and two MRH
Cut the Crap - Weight loss journey of a Few Fat Chicks
Same as Ranger.
-Would your Dh insist that his son be named with the family name or would he be "meh" about it? I know DH wouldn't want to. He and his Dad have the same first name (different middle though, so he's not a "junior") and he hates it.
-If your son was going to be the Xth boy with the same family name would you keep the tradition going? For me, it would depend on the name & how adamant DH was about it. I love family traditions, but wouldn't want to feel pressured into doing it if it wasn't something that we both wanted.
-Would your Dh insist that his son be named with the family name or would he be "meh" about it? I'm not 100% sure..... when we were thinking of boy names, he was adamant about wanting to follow the tradition his parents started with his father's name & his name..... James Paul to Paul James, so our son would be James Paul. I really don't like the name James (more so because I know he'd be called "Jimmy" by DH's family which I really am not a fan of). I wanted to use Henry since it's a strong family name on my side & died off with my generation, so we eventually were able to compromise on Henry James (not that it mattered since we seem to only make girls) So I think it would depend on the name, situation, etc.
If your son was going to be the Xth boy with the same family name would you keep the tradition going?
DH isn't a xth, but he does have the same fn as his dad (who has passed, btw). If he wanted to continue that, I would support it. Totally up to him though.
-Would your Dh insist that his son be named with the family name or would he be "meh" about it?
DH once said it's egotistical to use his fn. I don't agree. Ultimately, if we ever have a boy, it will be DH's call.
