Me and my husband just recently found out that i was having triplets. I want to name the only boy after him and make my husband a sr. but he doesnt want to do that because he felt left out when his father did that with his older brother because they had little nicknames for each other... how do i convince him to name our son after him. my daughters names will be Marissa LaVern(his moms name was LaVern she recently passed) and Gabrielle Ann (named for my grandmother who raised me)

Hun I don't know if you should... I mean if he said that he felt left out because his brother is a Junior that's a very valid point... he doesn't want any of his children to ever feel like they mean less than your son who is the namesake. BUT try this... what if you were to switch his first and middle name. My Dad for example he's Martin Daniel. My mother sister... named one of her kids... Daniel Martin after him... That maybe an idea...

Beautiful names.
If you only plan to have these 3 babies then there won't be a boy to feel left out like your husband did right? But if you do plan to have more babies then perhaps he is right, use his name as a middle name. The fact that he told you about his feelings and his feeling uncomfortable/left out as a child really is something and should be respected.

If your husband doesnt want to be a senior why do you not pick a name that means something to you guys and have your husbands name be the babies middle name.

Tell your husband that that would be something that they can share together. and no oneself will be able to take that from them. And it will be something that will last for ever. Like a bond that is only between them too. That he didn't have as a child. and now he gets to share that w/ his son. Something special. Let him know that.And maybe it will change his mind.

Wow CONGRATS!!
My husband is a jr. and he hates it but i too wanted to name my first born after him but he refused, so We picked a different first name and his middle is my husbands middle name. That way he was still named after his father.

Name your son a variation of your husband's name. Like if his name was John, your son's name can be Johnathan but you can call him Nathan. I planned to do that...until I found out what a psychotic freak my ex turned out to be. We never made it to kids, thank God.

I agree to compromise, and use a variation of his name, or make it your son's middle name. Great girl names. Congratulations!
