Well now that depends, how would you feel if your wife named your son after a guy that gave her many orgasms, but she just told you it was a name she randomly thought up? I mean everyone says names are supposed to be special for your first children. No one wants something from the past to come back and haunt them. In your wife's case, she wants to call her little girl by her name and not think about that name being associated with your past relationships. So I say you guys get a baby name book or create a new name for your daughter, so there aren't any hard feelings about from your wife. Long story short, just think if you are at a party and someone ever ask you how did you come up with the name for your child, and your wife turns and say you named her and where the name came from, do you honestly think you can say its the name of your first gf?

You name her the same because you cannot forget her or you still love her then as your wife she has the right to be angry. If you name her simply because the name sound good then it is 100% fine as your thoughts are honest so there is nothing to tell your wife about because it is just a beautiful name. BUT through the way you pose this question I am very sure it is your undying feelings that make you wanting to call your daughter after her. I really pity your wife as your heart was left behind.

Well, depends on why you are doing this. Is it just a beautiful name or you still have feelings for this person? And you may want to think about how YOU would feel if your first born son was named after one of your wife's exs? If you're okay with this thought you still need to discuss it with the wife, ie " I had a psycho ex but her name was pretty cool, what do you think about _____?"
Just a reminder: Keeping secrets is never a good idea in a marriage.

kinda funky, be sure to tell your wife/ girlfriend sometime in advance that you love the name, like bring it up or something and then if you do name your kid after the ex, your wife won't think it's cause you still have feeling for her.
whats the name?

I'm sure that you're not the only person that has done this but personally I wouldn't want my daughter to have any x's name they are your x for a reason, and your daughter is too special name her something unique with it's own meaning she can't possibly mean to you what your x did!

Yeah, it would be wrong not to tell her. Plus, she would probably find out from your family or old friends at some point and that would really hurt her feelings. Just tell her...if she's secure in her relationship with you then she will not have a problem with it.

Yes it would be wrong. Your wife might find out and then she would be upset and your daughter would have that name. Find another name.

take this from someone who knows lol
my dad convinced my mom to name me a name of one of his ex girlfriend's before my mom and dad married. he actually did liked the name of the ex, i dunno what the true reason is to why he wanted to name me after an ex. my mother didnt know til years later. it was the subject of many fights.
me being the innocent person here when i found out by my mother felt alittle weirded out by the matter. ive never really liked my name and that gave me even more encouragement not too. (that and the fights that i didnt understand why where over me or felt like they where over me. still dont) my dad chooses not to talk about the matter lol
i could change my name but ive come to term with it and got over it (it took me a loooong time). a names a name, its the person who makes who they are. not the name. but still...
the moral of this story is dont name your child(ren) after ex lovers. :)

You need to just be honest and say I dated a girl once with a cool name. Men don't have guts. They'd rather lie. When your woman reads that you asked this she's gonna say, he's got to go to sleep sometime....

Goodness gracious, why don't you wait and see when you have a daughter -- you're really in fast forward! You may never have a daughter!!
And no -- don't name your daughter after anyone.
