My husband and I are seriously butting heads about this. He is Mexican, and I am white, which means, our baby, it's a boy, will be named after him, which will make our son the 4th. I'm okay with that, but the disagreement is the middle name. He doesn't want him to have one, I do. He says it's not "customary" in his "culture" for the boy to have a middle name, I agree. But in his "culture" it IS "customary" for the boy to carry his mothers maiden name as the middle name, my husband just chose to drop his mothers maiden name a few years ago. I told him our son could do the same if he chooses. But my husband absolutely REFUSES to allow my maiden name to be a part of our sons. I jokingly said it would be cool, because my maiden name is Henry, which is Enrique in Spanish, and I am a huge Enrique Iglesias fan. Could my husband have internal jealousy (silly I know, but could be true), about that? That's the only reason I think he doesn't want Enrique being a part of the name.
