My daughter is trying to talk her husband into naming their sons middle name after her 1st love that died at scout camp from a lightning strike in 2005 here Guys who have a problem with the dead ex's name are insecure I'm with DB... No way! Im with Db, no one i could do that first or middle name. Who wants that reminder that your wife still thinks about her ex on a daily?! Just is weird to me. I think that if ur husband truly cares he will agree with your old boyfriends name.... Shes a pantie model she can name it what she wants Wouldn't happen! I would look at that kid totally different.... like she wished it was the other guys kid! I say if they r both good with it then its fine. Why would it matter its not like she can hookup with him again When My fiance passed away I made a promise to myself that I will have my sons middle name as his (Daniel) or if it's a girl (Danielle) if my future baby daddy doesn't like it, too bad ;) He is dead move on Not only NO but HELL NOOOOO! why would you want to remember an ex they are an ex for a reason even if they are dead! My dad named my little sister after his high school girlfriend she is still alive That means she has not moved on with her life and plans not to I'm a women and would never name any of my children after an ex. I think its disrespectful. I wouldn't want my husband to do that. That is messed up. Heck no! Im a woman and that is selfish and wrong If you were truly over your ex you would never do that. I'm with u DB I am a woman and HELL no! INAPPROPRIATE What if a guy wanted to name a girl after her ex? I don't think the woman would go for it. I say no way that would make it seem like you care about your ex more than you do your husband now its just wrong A memory will never die that was ur love not ur childs or spouses dont raise ur family with that burdon... What about from the childs respective? Who wants to tell their friends they were named after their moms sixth grade boyfriend? That is just weird and creepy! F no that's messed up ! I think that is highly disrespectful of the spouse. If it was the other way around no women would go for it I say no what if the guy wanted to name the baby after his ex guaranteed the woman would flip out I usually never agree with DB but this is a first. I'm having my husband's son right now and very excited to give him his name. It's my husband's son! I am with D.B. You need to get over it and move on with life. Nothing wrong with it. Doesnt mean anyone hasnt moved on either. If it meant a lot to my hubby I would do it. U always love a first love. I'm a woman and would do it. He married me, there's no threat of her, and hopefully it's a decent name.
