How would you ladies handle this: My husband is thinking about baby names and he said he'd like a junior (if it's a boy). But, his name isn't my favorite. His mom misspelled it, for starters. Also, his middle name is very similar to my ex's name. How do I say these things without sounding bitchy?
@sammyjo4life I think he feels like it's his turn. I named our. I even have her my maiden name (we weren't married then) with no input from him. Then, I gave him name choices for the second but it was very clear the direction I wanted to go in.
@shaysaleen I really hope to sway him. But, I'm also not sold on telling him his middle reminds me of an ex. Because, even if we don't give baby that name, he'll always know that I think of my ex when I hear his middle name.
@sgtpeppertheory Exactly! We have two kids and we've never run into this issue. Plus, he NEVER wanted a junior. Now, his family is asking if we'll name baby junior and he says "Why not?" But, I always say "No!" which makes us skim the convo and I always say I just don't want that. I want to give him the why but I feel like I'll offend.
i would name my son whatever i wanted but thats just me u wont be happy if u dont
@keaw, gosh no type of middle huh that's hard and he is stuck on making him a Jr huh
I like that idea!^ I've always told my fiancé I never want a junior. it's nothing against him or his name. I just believe in our children being their "own" person, and I personally feel like naming our child a junior automatically makes it seem like he would have certain expectations to live up to. idk I'm just weird like that haha. thankfully he agreed with me. it's hard to compromise on baby names!
He wants it to be his first, middle and last name so the baby will be a Jr. @shaysaleen Even if I changed the spelling to the correct spelling it would make baby no longer a Jr.
@keaw its both of yalls child but if you arent gonna be happy with the name then you need to come together make a list why he dont need to have the middle name . i just dont want you to regret anything . my family almost got me to change my son's name but when he comes out he is getting the name i want
