Sorry, I didn't really know what to call this post. My H recently lost his grandmother which hit him very hard. We are expecting a baby girl in 2w and this week he's said he'd like to use her name as a middle name for the baby, recognising the fact she wont get to meet her great grandchild.
I obviously have no problem with this, I still have my grandmother and know if the situations were reversed I'd feel the same BUT her name was Joan and our surname is Jones.
I know full names are rarely said outloud as a whole, but is there anything I can do to lessen the Jo-Jo impact? My son only has one mn, but in the circumstances I'd consider giving our daughter two.
Our (current!) first name choice is Coralie. Does anyone have any ideas please?
