My husband and I are trying to get pregnant, and my step-mom and dad want us to name a boy after 2 of my little brothers. The thing is, my brothers have Duchene Muscular Dystrophy, and they are terminal. I love my brothers, and having them sick is the hardest thing I will ever face, but I just can't bring myself to agree to naming my baby after them. I don't want my child to remind everyone of something so sad, or for my brothers to feel like they are being replaced in ANY way. Am I being over-sensitive? How do I explain to my parents I just don't want to do this. It will be hard enough being without them when the time come, I don't want my own child to be one more reminder of what I have lost.
