DS1 happens to have the same name as DHs paternal GF. He IS NOT named after him, we just happened to like the name.
Am currently pregnant with DC2, which we found out yesterday, is also a boy. Cue lots of hints from MIL about her fathers name- Joseph- and how it would be nice if we used the name for DS2 (she didnt specify 1st name or middle name but i know which she'd prefer!) Now, i've got nothing against the name Joseph, I just dont see it as a name for my child.
She's never been particularly thrilled that DS1 shares FIL's fathers name, as there is no love lost between MIL and FIL and his family! But how do we tell her that we dont particularly like 'Joseph' as a name for one of our children without offending her?
