newbie with a question
| Mon, 08-23-2004 - 6:17am |
Hello everyone! I'm new to this board. I'm about 38 wks. pregnant now with a baby girl. And I have a question for y'all. Traditionally in our family we use the mother's maiden name for the baby's middle name. But I was thinking of not continuing that by being able to choose a middle name for our daughter that I like. Unfortunately, my dad doesn't agree and I could tell that he was hurt when I told him that I didn't want to use my maiden name for our daughter's middle name. And when I saw the disappointed look on his face I started to reconsider my decision. It's a tough decision, because I know how important it is to carry on a family name, but at the same time I feel like it's old fashioned and I want our daughter growing up with a simple name that people won't have a hard time pronouncing. That's what I had to deal with when I was growing up. What have some of you done with the names of your kids? Have any of you guys heard of this tradition and are you still sticking to that tradition? What are some of your suggestions?

Hmm... I'd probably keep the tradition.
