am 9 weeks pregnant with dc3 i already have 2 dd's. we picked both first names together and he was ine bout both of them having middle names after people in my family.
now i am pregnant with dc3 we are running out of names we like but i know he would love it if we gave a dd his grans middle name, she died years ago and i never met her.
thing is though i have a really bad irrational dislike of the name, its a lovely name for other people and is possibly in the top ten baby names but for some reason i cant stand it.
would you go ahead anyway and use it even though you really could not stand it just to make your dh happy or choose something else, possibly even leaving a middle name out?
dh has never come out as such and asked if we could use it but part f me feels terrible that the first two are named after my family and none after his.
i know some people think its naff naming children after family members but i was brought up that the middle name was after someone you knew so would rather stay of that whole debate.
