Thinking of naming our first child together after my husband?

This will be my first child. My husband already has two boys from a previous relationship. They are not named after him. My husband and I both want to name our baby to come after him.





I have heard that the first born son traditionally is the one to get the father's name. Do you think it's a problem for us to name our first born son after him, even though he has two other sons (they are 7 and 9).


Thanks

Technically it is your first born son together. You can't help that him and the other woman didn't name either one of there sons after him. If this is special to you go for it!!!
Reply:Not if it's what you want to do. What we did, although ours IS the first son, was to give my husbnad's name as his middle name.
Reply:I don't like it myself. You can if you want to, but it says to me--the first two boys didn't count, and now I have a son to name after myself.


I think it would be hurtful to his first 2, just like having a new family already is.


I know a guy who did this. But his first son was named after Grandpa, so he was honored, too.


Why not let his two brothers name him? Or at least have some input? Ask THEM if they care?


Honor what they tell you.


Good luck.
Reply:it doesnt have to be the first born, ive heard it alot of times on the thought to be last kid lol or a random kid in the family, also of a man who named all his sons after him! lol





I think it will be fine. Just so you all know when your talking to him or daddy
Reply:No you can use it. My uncle is named after my Grandpa and he is the baby boy.
Reply:I don't think it would be a problem I think it is better than what George Foreman did all his boys are named George Foreman! I think you should give your son a different middle name not because I don't like the idea of you naming him after him but because he needs an identity. With the exact name it would be hard with items like mail and forms.
Reply:no it is not a problem
Reply:Alot of traditions are "old school" so to speak. Most people just vary from the tradition somewhat. Technically, this is his first born...with you. I'm sure you see his sons as yours, but biologically, this is the only one that's you AND him.





I say go for it. The kids probably wouldn't mind. If you're still concerned, talk it over with the kids, it might help you realize that it's not that big of a deal to the people who really matter (you, your husband and ALL the kids).
Reply:It happens. My grandfather named his FIFTH son after himself. Of course, his name was Maynard, so maybe he shouldn't have!
Reply:no not if thats what you want to do. Though if it will cause problems with his other sons (for example if they get jealous) you could always have it as a middle name
Reply:I think you should if you want to.
Reply:No problem at all, it would be awsome for your husband to have a son named after him, it is a tradition that my family loves, we have 6 generations of the name "Hector Manuel", and we just love it, it something ti proud of. :)so just go for it!!!
Reply:Go for it!
Reply:that is a neat thing to do...





if you didn't want him to be a "Jr." you could do this:





my friend had a baby and her husband's name is Brandon





they named the baby Brandon Elijah...but he won't go by Brandon, he will go by Elijah





so if you used your husbands first name and a different middle name, you could call your baby by his middle name...
Reply:I think it's fine if you name this child after him. Obviously if he has too other sons, their mom did not want to name them after their dad...but you want to, so go for it!!....If you feel weird naming your child exactly after your husband, then you can also think of a variation of his name to use or you can use his middle name. There are many options, so just use whatever you like and feel comfortable with and have fun deciding!
Reply:I think it shouldn't be a huge deal, but they're old enough, I might ask the boys from the other relationship how they would feel about it, or, if you're not super close to them yet, have their dad ask for you.





I would advise against having a junior just because of the hassles with social security and credit, but if you really want to, it's not the end of the world. Why not use your husband's middle name as your son's first name, or give him your husband's first name as a middle name?
Reply:Nope. You can do what you wish. It is YOUR first born.
Reply:Not , I know many kids who are named after the father who are not the first borns. (one is the last of 7).





I think that it is a wonderful and traditional choice to name your son after the father. Besides this is your first child together, so he is a first in a way!





I say you should go for it. Just make sure you find something to make the brothers feel special and included and that daddy loves them too even though there is a new baby who is also named after them.
