Naming After People Posted: 04-15-07 15:13pm
I just wondered what you guys thought
about naming babies after someone famous a
family memeber etc. For me i personally
don't like it when a child is named after
a parents i don't know why it just bugs
me. i think it can be quite sweet though
when a middle name is after a family
member hense why my little girls middle
name will be my sister's first name.

my mom was going to name me after her -
until the last minute...
I wish she had because it'd be much better
than my given name - which is why I don't
use it lol
my middle name .Ellen is after my maternal
great grandma.
If I had a baby boy I'd not call him
Steve, Roy or Robin (our dad's names), but
my brother is named Robert after his dad,
but then his dad never went by the name
Robert, he got called Spike (or Bob when
he gave up building and went to work as a
lecturer)
I guess if a family member had a name I
wanted then I'd do it, to me names are a
very important part of who you are.

I personally would not name a child after
myself or their father as i would like
them to have their own identity. Using a
second name is very sweet though and it
will make the person you name them after
very happy

My dad named me after this singer (with
the initial H - just because it sounded
nice and since all my family member have
that initial even my mom!) before knowing
the meaning I was ok with it but after I
knew what it meant I wanted to change it
but till todate I'm still contempleting,
it's entirely up to you that's the beauty
of being a parent when you have to 'power'
to choose a name.
