name regret.

[mysticamor.livejournal.com]

My husband and I were talking today and we were talking about people who name their kids after a family memeber or use a parent, grandparent, uncle, aunt's name for a first or middle name and then regret it later on? Did that make sense? What was the name and why.

For us it was the name Michael.....which has now been changed to Nathaniel. My husband has adopted my son (our son now) and his biological father's name was Michael. Also my husband's dad's name is Michael and they are both total douches. Any body else?

Yep. My son's middle name is Andrew after my "boyfriend" at the time that I concieved. Big mistake. I think we'll try to get that changed.

we did the same thing. lol. what would you want to change it to?

I'm not sure. It's a really long, complicated, embarassing story. My son's first name doesn't mix with his father's last name, so I think I'd let his father pick a new middle name that has some signifigance to him and his family. I'd like to get "Andrew" gone before my son asks why that is his middle name and I have to explain...

I wouldn't give the kid that name in the first place unless it meant something to me. My first daughter's middle name will be Margaret, after my mother (also my real first name, but I don't use it, and wouldn't name a kid after me, because I don't care). Because I loved my mom, and it's important to me. At one point, there was a reason you used that name, and it was significant...

At the time for me it was signifigant because I was giving my son a piece of his father's name. Then after a while his dad took off and the thought of my son having his dad's name as a middle name made me sick to my stomach. It was one of those it was a good idea at the time and then it wasn't. His dad gave up his rights, willingly, and we moved on. He has a new middle name which is not after anyone....and took my husband's last name when my husband adopted him.

I totally regret giving my son the middle name James. It's his fathers first name. And his father is nothing but a lying sack of cow dung. :) *eyeroll*

I would never name a baby after the father. In most cases, the child is already getting the dad's last name, why the heck does she/he need his first name as well?!

[mysticamor.livejournal.com]

well where were you when I did that years ago. lol ;P It's changed now, new middle and last name thank god. :) But I agree with you totally. I tell my friends now to never name their babies after the father because of what I went threw but if they still want to then thats on them.

i dated a guy for a while who had been named after his father (first AND middle names), then the dad was abusive so his mom left him, remarried a great guy and they had more kids together, and the new dad adopted my ex-bf. they changed the last name to the new family name, and changed the middle name to just a "w" instead of the entire name.

sometimes it all goes smoothly. my granpda is phillip wayne (goes by wayne), my dad is phillip dwight, and my brother is phillip brewer.
