There are important things to consider when naming a junior. What if the kid grows up and makes a mess of himself either financially or legally? Even though their ss numbers will be different, your husband may suffer because he has the same name. Believe me, it can happen, it did to someone I know. Also, is the kid going to appreciate always bing called "little michael"? That might be cute when he's 3 but it will be very annoying when he is 13. And people will do it! I think it's better to give the poor kid his own identity. Or you can always flip the name and call hime Travis Michael.

If the name is identical use II, a different middle name would be Jr. Naming a child after a living person can be an honor, but also a major headache. If you don't want all the confusion having two men in the same house with the same name will bring, don't make the baby a II or Jr. If tradition is the argument, be aware that it was actually more common to name the first son after his maternal grandfather than any other person. Use your husband's name for the baby's middle name and he will start life with his own identity. He will never feel pressured to live up to (or live down) his father's name. Giving the baby your husband's name may also cause problems if you are fortunate to have a second son. My husband is a Jr. with the same middle initial as his father. His (my husband's) middle name was used for his brother's first name. This has caused us problems with credit, finances and mail. If we have a son, he will not share his father's first name.

It would be weird if you named him the same as your husband. But, if you like the idea or name, you could name him Travis Michael. Michael Travis swiched around. Then the baby still has your hubbys name but its not confusing.

Give the baby his own name. He will be his own person, have his own identity and has every right to his own first name. Use Michael Travis as middle names. And think about it for your own sake do you really want to be calling your son the same name as your partner, its just wrong.

i would recommend going with the fathers middle name. my brother is named after my fathers middle name. and besides Travis is an awesome name. when i was about ten and i went through a phase where i wanted to be an author , i named all of the important male characters Travis.

I went interior the path of a similar component. My husbands call is John and on the city we are residing in, there are notably lots twenty Johns with a similar final call as us (inhabitants 5,500). So for sure, i did no longer prefer to call the toddler John. i began out looking up names that have been varieties of John. i replaced into very shocked by what number i found. interior the tip, i desperate on Evan. Now he's named after his daddy, yet isn't yet another John. yet once you like the call Rick, it extremely is quite helpful to bypass with something like Jeremy Rick.

MY grandfather, father and brother all had the same name 1st, JR, 3rd...All of my brother's life it was very confusing and especially when he got older because he had to continually tell people which JPB he was. It was also confusing when someone would call the house and ask for JPB and we always had to say "which one?" The poor people would be like, I don't know...hehee So that is the downside...The upside is your son can carry on a family name and tradition and it may mean a lot to his dad. Good Luck!

I like Aydan Michael Jr. but that's just me but you should have the name Michael in the name that name is cute, but it is your chose and you and your husband should should talk about it. You still have some time to think of names to so relax it will come to you.

Lol I called the babies first name both times because i was the one to go through labour (dads got middle name). i find it a little arrogant to name a baby after yourself as such although if your a great person why not. I think the baby should have its own name because it is a new unique person. Maybe there is a compromise you ccan reach like using part of dads name or maybe even the same initials-just some suggestions hope they help :)

I perosnally don't like naming kids after their fathers. It's very unoriginal and they deserve to be individuals and have originals names also. My husband's first name is the same as his fathers and his middle name is after his grandfather. So he doesn't have any originality. We have talked abuot it when we have kids and he doesn't want the boys named after him (since there is already two) So we decided to give our son the same initials, that way there is still a connection but they are not the same. you could try that!!
