it depends. there are certain names that i had picked out for my future children, but they weren't set in stone in any previous relationship. however, there is a name that me and a certain past person picked out and i would never use that name now.

It really depends on how and why the past relationship didn't work out. Perhaps you and the guy you are with now like other names. Give it some thought and discuss it with him.
I also went through the same thing. It is just what the parents of the child like. I feel both should agree on the name.

Depends were the names that you are talking about your idea or his. If you take his idea for a name and your in a situation that he is going to find out i would definitely not do it. It will make him mad and then he can never use it.
However if it was your idea then definitely and if you are never going to see him again and live very far apart i don't see why not. He will still be able to use it. no harm no fowl
Also you need to make sure that the person that you are seeing now doesn't have a problem with using the names.

If you didn't have children yet I see no reason not to use the names in other relationships. If you have children and if the children are used to their names I would not mess with it. It is their identity.

Depends- if you picked your great-grandmother's name and your partner liked it, I don't think it matters if you want to use it with a new partner. If you picked a random name that you both liked, and always talked about "When we have our kids, Doug and Charity", then you need to get different names. Those names belong with that other life, you need new names for your new life.

The something happened to me. My daughter's father and I had both chose to use his grandmother's name for her. So when she was born we give her his grandmother's names after three months he chose not to be in her life and I keep her name the same because I like the name. My daughter's name is Lockie May and she is going to be adopt by her daddy here in two months.

I wouldn't want to name a child a name that my previous partner had picked out.

You can name your children whatever you want. If the previously picked names are the ones you want to use, then go ahead!

Well if the current doesn't know about it then ok. If the current knows and doesn't care then it's ok, if the current knows and doesn't feel comfortable about it then no way. Put yourself in their shoes how would you feel if the current had names picked with an ex and wants you to use them?

I dont see why not, as long as the present mate likes the names too.
