name your daughter after yourself?
| Tue, 11-08-2005 - 9:11pm |
My very best friend is pregnant with her third child, not due until May. She has 2 boys, ages 8 (Peirce) and 3 (Kyle). Although it is still too early to know the sex, she is thinking about if its a girl, on naming it after herself. (Not sure how DH feels about that though.)
She is named after her Grandmother. Her name is Alida (Ah-leeda), a name I like since we have been best friends since we have been 5 years old.
What do you think? I know its "okay" for the sons to be named after the dad, but rarely have I heard this the other way around. Just wondering how many of us out there would consider doing this??

My grandma did this, but used a different middle name for her daughter. I think it's okay, but I personally would not do it, and I would not name the son after the father either. I think variations of the name I would do.
