She says your supposed to do it as a symbol of honor.I believe everyone is their own person and should be named for themselves ,not stamped with someone else's name..besides she's got an ugly name and is noone to name a child after!Hubby agrees......His siblings have kids and none of them have done this..So I told her no and she made like she was all depressed..I'm not sure why..we have a relationship we're building but we're in no way close enough for her to assume I'd want to do that.My mother has'nt asked such a thing and I'm not gonna name the child after her either.What's her problem?

By the way ,there's no tradition in their family to do this...she's just trying to see if she can pull that with us.

If you don't want to name your child after her you shouldn't have to it's you and your husband's child and no one elses. And you two should pick your own kids name. I would say name it whatever you want to and don't feel guilty.

Don't do it. If you don't like your own daughters name then why would you name her that. It's your family now, not hers so you can name YOUR child whatever you want. My husbands mom wanted us to name our child after his dad if we had a son. I told her straight up, no. My husband didn't even have that close of a relationship with him and if we were to name our child after anyone it would be my dad. He never used drugs, he was a very smart man, and I loved him until he passed and even now. He was the closest thing I had when I was younger. Even though I had my mom. My husbands dad on the other hand did drugs, and he basically wasn't there almost his entire childhood. But anyways it all comes down to what you and your husband wants. It's your family now, and she can't say a thing to make you change your mind.

Sometimes there is no diplomatic answer to a problem, especially when it is a demanding relative. The sooner you tell her no the better off everyone will be. That way she won't be telling people you are going to name your child after her and then be embarrassed when you don't. If you have already picked out a girl's name tell her you have already decided to name the baby ......... That might ease the tension a little.

Your child, your decision, who was hubby named after? If she can't answer that get one of those hairless Egyptian cats and name that after her. I have my mom's middle name but I'm the only girl in the family that has any descended name. Now the boys, they all suffered the same fate, after their Uncles and Dad's names but with them all mixed around. Like Billy Karl, his grandpa's name is Billy, his father's middle name was Karl.
If she has a name kids made fun of in school ask her if she really wishes that on her grandchild. I'm pretty sure she named her kids why can't you? Hey Detective L. she married the son of the motor so I guess that would be a trolling motor or a miniature hot car...ya think? LOL

First, who's child is this anyway?? She has no right to demand this of you--especially if you husband agrees!! Maybe he needs to sit down with her and talk to her about this. It is YOUR child and you both have the right to name your child what you want to. She is going to have to accept this--a child should not be named something because the parents feel "guilty" into naming it after someone. You are doing the right thing by naming your child what you feel is right. This is not her place to tell you what to do. Good luck!!

I accept as true with momoftwo. yet i think of it would be a advantageous gesture however if it rather is in basic terms as a midsection call or yet another verison of this call. concepts: Autumn Emilia Sarah Emily Michaela Emily Emily Jane I in basic terms experience that your mom in regulation went by using a problematic time which she can not thoroughly recover from and now that your watching for a sprint woman she is seeing of undertaking for herself to have a clean existence with the little woman she on no account had. it rather is variety of unusual i might confer along with her possibly she in basic terms desires to apply it as the thank you to honour her daughter's call like working example you may call your new child after a chum that kicked the bucket. She desires to do this. i in my view experience sorry to your mom in regulation. desire this helped!

Well I agree with you. You shouldnt name your child something you dont like. You and your child have to live with it forever and you are the parent so you should name it whatever you want. What is her name by the way?

You and your husband can name your child anything you like. Don't worry about your mother-in-law's pouty act, she'll get over it. This is your child to name, not hers to claim as a namesake. Sounds like her problem is that she wants to be center of attention during your pregnancy. Good Luck and let us know what name you pick!

Our parents generation had some scary names....some things are better in the past....maybe her middle name is easier to work with

You must be pretty strange if you are willing to marry a motor and then be so picky when choosing a name for your child. What's your motor-in-laws name? Mitsubishi?

No definately not, I was named after my grandmother and it gets extremely confusing when we are together and plus it is your child you should be able to name it whatever you want
