Do it vs. Dont do it vs. Suggestion/Comment

I’ve always wanted to name a child after my brother and my twin sister. I’m afraid if I do then either my 2 BIL’s will get mad or my 1 SIL will get mad. I’m also afraid if I have a girl and name her after my MIL my mom will get angry. Is there a way to avoid this or come up with a name of each gender to honor everyone. Possibly for children to come. I really like James and Marie and already have first names picked out. My MIL’s name is Pamela Lyn, my moms is Mary Elizabeth, my brothers is James Michael, my sister’s Hailey Marie, my BIL’s are Nathaniel David and Zackary Markus.

Tbh if you want to name your child after your mom or your brother then you should.

Mary Lyn?

DO something like that. If the first name is going to be after your brother then try having the mn after your BIL if you really want to, that is! Otherwise don’t stress on it. It’s your baby and if they get angry at silly things like that then, well, I’m sorry to say this but it’s good that you didn’t honor them at all in the first place. It’s your baby. DO what you and your Husband like!

I agree with poster 3! You shouldn’t name your baby something that your not completely happy with to please your family members no matter how much they mean to you. I’m sure they will understand, and like poster 3 said, if they dont then well, then dont care!

I was in the same situation too.. I have 2 sisters named Melissa June and Matilda Elizabeth (I’m Monica, haha my mom LOVES same letter names on siblings!) and I was terrified that one of them would get mad if I named my girl after one of them and not the other! I named my daughter Maisie June! My other sister didn’t feel bad one bit! She understands it’s nothing personal but I preferred June to Elizabeth!
I think you should be able to name him/her what you like at the end of the day. If they are mature enough they wouldn’t/ shouldn’t be upset!

I honored my mom in my first born: Tatiana Pauline (My mom is Paula)
and my MIL in my second born : Rayna Loretta (Loretta is my MIL)

I wouldn’t worry about it. No one is entitled to having the baby named after them. Unless you tell them they likely wouldn’t figure it out anyway. Besides with only one baby, there are only so many names you can use. Hard choices must be made. With our first baby, we named her after someone on my husband’s side and this baby will be after someone on my side. Besides, if everyone was honored, it wouldn’t be as special.

Name your child after who you want to. Don’t try to include everyone. I don’t think anyone will get mad but don’t compromise because of how you think people might react and give up what you want to do because you might regret it.

^^ I mean you may regret not going with your original choice.

Don’t do it

I would either not use any family names if you’re that concerned about people getting upset or just use the names you actually like and hope they don’t get mad or will get over it.
