I was named after my Grandad, his name was Charles and as i was born on his birthday i was called Charlotte, also my Nana's name was may so my middle name is Amy i know its not the same but they just changed the letters round. With my first son i put his name as Benjamin Charles so it carried on the Charles naming. But at the end of the day if you don't like the name Blanche then don't feel pressured into calling your next child, plus you have to think about weather they would get bullied with the name.

What about (blanche) taking some letters out of the name. Like lane, or lan and add an i (lani).
I would just use as middle name - tell her its a bit old fashioned in this day!
Mothers always try to take over a bit, i sometimes have to remind mine that my son is mine and not to answer if he asks me a q or undermine me saying the opposite! One day we might be one of those!!!!!

Well I wasnt pressured but I knew there was no way I was going to name my kids after my Mum or his Mum. I think both their names arent really that nice. They suit them but not my babies.
Anyway I gave my daughter her first name and I let my partner do the middle name. He chose Marie after both my Mum and his Mum. His Mums name is Maria and my Mums middle name is Maree. So they were both happy.
So just tell her when the time comes to name your baby, you will wait till you see them before cementing any names. I think its really important to actually see the baby before naming them. The name is with them for life so its important to make sure the name suits them.

We named my daughter Mackenzie after my mother in laws maiden name. I like family names, it gives them a sense of family when they get older. But I would consider Blanche a middle name maybe?

Not at all, anyway it will be up to you and your partner when the time comes. I was called Elizabeth because everyone in my immeadiate family was named after the monarch on the throne at the time my nan Is Mary (queen Mary) my Mum is Elizabeth too and my brother is Phillip. did you know I read somewhere that Queen Victoria insisted that all boys in her family were to be called Albert after her husband that stopped after George VI

Can you not just have the middle name as that.. that way no-one really has to know and your child could chose not to use it in later years.
I gave my little girl the middle name of my sister who died at 3 days old and will tell her when she is old enough to know that she is carrying on her name for her.

My advice is not to name your child unless you see them you will automatically know! My mom wanted o name my son Jonathan but his surname is Johnson so no I wouldn't let him be called JJ. I called him Quincy after Quincy Johnson who if you don't know is a motown singer , producer,. My name is debby which means busy as a bee, its Jewish but I'm not. Choose a name that suits your child.

My boyfriend wanted me to name our son Juan(John in Spanish), but his brothers name is John, and his fathers,and his uncles and his son also. I felt that was to many Johns so we didn't do it. My approach to this was without hurting any feelings was just explain how you feel about the name and maybe your mom will understand. Be nice and not nasty about it.
