Is it appropriate to name your kids (of a current spouse) after an ex-girlfriend from high school?

My guy wants to name our kids after his ex. He knows I don't want that, so he keeps suggesting names as close to hers as possible and giving me ';excuses'; for why they are good names. Is there something wrong with that? Or am I just overreacting? Should I let him name one of our kids after his ex?Is it appropriate to name your kids (of a current spouse) after an ex-girlfriend from high school?
I would have said ';let it go'; but then you said that he suggests a bunch of names as close to the exes name as possible and that sounds kind of creepy. Throw in some names of your exes (that could work as girl names if your having a daughter) and see how he likes it! lolIs it appropriate to name your kids (of a current spouse) after an ex-girlfriend from high school?
Does he want to name them after his ex, or just likes that name and it happens to belong to an ex. There is a difference. You def. don't want to ignore good names just because they belong to people in your past. However, if he seriously is like hey lets name our baby after my ex - that's pretty weird and un-necessary. Since its something that you choose together and an important symbol of this baby that you made together why in the world would you want it named after his ex? Start suggesting names of your exes . . . if they don't match the sex, add an a to the end or modify them in some way :-) Then he'll see how that feels and be like, yeah lets come up with original names.
When my husband and I were going to name our son, (before we knew we were having a boy) we wrote down all the names of our exs so that they could be eliminated from the list. This list included people we had crushes on, thought were hot, or actually dated. You don't want your child's name to bring up thoughts of someone else.





So incredibly wrong!!! You are extremely dumb if you allow him to do this!!
Just because the name was an ex-girlfriend's doesn't make it a bad name. He could have another memory of that name, or hope to instill that girlfriend's good qualities in your child. Or, he may just like the name.





The important thing is, it's YOU he's having a child with. Doesn't that signify more than the name does?
no it is not appropriate and it is a sign that he is still harboring some form of emotions for her. I would recommend talking to him about why that name is so important and definitely go with a different name you are both comfortable with.
umm i dont see any problem with him wanting to name ur kids after his ex. he probably really likes that name just so happens to be that its his ex. i think ur just overreacting a tad bit but u should let him name one ur kids if he truly likes the name show him that you care about his choice
Did you ever date a guy with a mildy unisex name? See if he wants to include that as the middle name of your new child.





I'm sorry, hun... but you're with a schmuck.
Heeeelllllll no.
And your still with this guy?


Creepy as!
Ah, yeah, I'd say there's something wrong with that!!!! Jeez, How much more are you going to take? You're going to name her in your will, too??


Let her move in???
WRONG!!!!!!
HELL NO! Tell him to F off!
Over my dead body would that happen. She is his past, you and the kids are his future!
No matter how you look at it, that's just WRONG!
