Now we are thinking of naming possible son after my dad. His name is Werner (he's from Germany) but many people call him Warren.

So what do you like best: Wesley August, Wesley Warren, or Wesley Werner? Last name two syllables starting with S.

Also, now my husband wants to name a kid after himself, Nicholas Scott. Would it e weird to name the second son after the father?

I think Wesley Warren is nice.

I don't think it's weird at all to name a second-born son after the father, particularly if the first-born is named after his grandfather. [My mom was the third girl born to her family and she was named after her mother. I'm really sure that neither of her older sisters ever took that as a reflection on their own worthiness in my grandmother's eyes.] If your first-born son is so insecure in your love for him that he takes his little brother's name as a sign that he "wasn't good enough," then somewhere along the line you fucked up really badly as parents in ways that had nothing to do with the name.


Edit: Also, my mom just pointed out that her third-born brother was named after their father. Lots of unworthiness complexes in my mom's family, apparently.
