Okay, my husbands Nicholas the thrid. I don't really want 2 Nicholas's, i think it would be too confusing. I don't want to dissapoint the family or anything. I just REALLY don't want to use the name. He's going to be our first boy (we found out) so it is tradition.
Any advice. My husband says he picked the girls name so he want me to pick the boys (with in reason.) He says he doensn't care if its a Nicholas and i think hes telling the truth.

My husband is a Jr. and there was no way I was going to name any of my boys his name...lol. I love my husband more than anything, but I could care less about what his family thinks. Im just not particularly fond of his name. Each of our 3 boys has their own names that we both agreed on.

Well you both are having this child and eventhough it's tradition the family needs to respect that you havea say in what name the baby has well. Just because it's tradition doesn't mean that it's your tradition. With each new marriage comes different traditions for the family. Talk to your husband and let him know that you understand that its tradition but it's not "your" tradition. Ask him if he's willing to start a new tradition. One that would start with the combination of the two families, i.e your son. You two should really discuss this and think about using a name that both of YOU chose and you chose it because its a name that means somehting to the both of you, and not just his family.

It's not that confusing.
If it's a tradition ...I would stick to it.
I have several family members from in laws to grandparents to uncles and cousins who have been named or named in the family tradition...we have so many Rogelios, Alens, Ivans and Jorge's it's ridiculous...
Family is important. And just because his legal name is the same as his dad's ... doesn't mean that's what you have to call him. He can be Nick, he'll most likely be Nicky for a while, pray he's not "Little Nicky" ...lol
Your husband may be telling the truth...but deep down...he'd probably be pleased that he shares his name with his first born son.
And it's good for your boy too, I have my mothers first name as my middle name and I really like it too...it makes me feel closer to her to be named after her...
I would find a way to incorporate it somehow.

Jenni has a great idea using the middle name. And since your husband gave you the go ahead pick a handful of names and present it to him and then you can decide together. Don't pick a definite name until you actual see the baby. Some names don't fit the child until you see the baby. It's funny how that can affect the name.

How about using Nicholas as the middle name?

It's your and your husbands son so if he is not fussed dont use it as a first name, but to keep family happy use it as his second name.

MY SON IS THE "FOURTH" ALL I CAN SAY, IS DONT DO IT. I REGRET NAMING HIM THAT NOW, AND WISH I COULD GO BACK AND CHANGE IT. COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT. MY MOTHER IN LAW DID NOT WANT A "FOURTH" SO I DONT THINK THEY WILL BE UPSET. PLEASE BE ORIGINAL OR YOU MAY REGRET IT.
