Did you/will you avoid naming your child....

a particular name because it's the same name of someone you didn't like?

Re: Did you/will you avoid naming your child....

that would not be a reason I would consider. One reason maybe not naming our child with the same name as our ex's Regardless, I am not a fan of common names. I don't plan to have children till 3 yrs down the road, but I have alreay thought of a couple of names

Boys:
Syed
Eli (but I dated someone with that name, and I don't think DH would like that)

Girls:
Asmina
and maybe maybe Ashley (That is the only common name which I love!)

Re: Did you/will you avoid naming your child....

Good question!

I answered yes. I could never name my son after an ex and I defintely coudln't give my daughter the same name as someone I didn't like.

Re: Did you/will you avoid naming your child....

thanks! I said yes too because there is a name that I absolutely love but it was the same name of this perfect little goody two shoes wench I went to camp with and I could never name my kid that.

You girls are too cute I guess I never dislike someone so much to the point that I can't stand hearing their name.

Re: Did you/will you avoid naming your child....

my cousin named her son the same name as an ex boyfriend and i thought that was a little odd especially since he was such a tool

DH , he has an ex who's name I wanted if I have a girl because I am naming after my grandma so it looks like the middle name is going to be that instead

It's so funny cause I've tried calling out the name.

Ashley don't do that!
Come here Ashley

LOL I'm crazy, just had to make sure I liked how it sounds all the time

Re: Did you/will you avoid naming your child....

There were a few names we liked but didnt use them for that reason !!

Re: Did you/will you avoid naming your child....

There is a boy name that DH and I like but his cousin just named her son that. I want to pick a new name, but DH wants to use the same name. I think it will be too confusing, but DH is adamant about it.

Re: Did you/will you avoid naming your child....

and we can't agree on girl names.

He likes very common names and i like names that are different.

OMG me too. my sisters have 7 kids between all of them and pretty much used up all the good names. and I won't have cousins named the same b/c growing up all my dad's cousins were named the same b/c of the italian tradition to name after the grandparents. there were literally 30 Bennys and Bettys

Re: Did you/will you avoid naming your child....

Yes totally!!! I love the name Alexis, or Alexandra but I totally dislike this girl names Alex...so I couldn't name my girl that plus my parents dog is lexi so any nickname that could come wouldn't work

that's the only name though...

Re: Did you/will you avoid naming your child....

I def would not name our child the same name as either one of our ex's. For someone I really dont like, I dont think I would, but there are not to many people I really dislike so the name I guess wouldnt bother me.

I did name my dog after a girl that my x cheated on me with I still love my dog I didnt do it on purpose, but all my gfs think I did
