My number 1 boy's choice is my great-grandfather's middle name, my grandmother (who I am very close to) adores it as does my aunt and generally the rest of my family. No one has used it yet so if I have a boy, I probably will - but the fact that everyone LOVES LOVES LOVES it so much has started to kind of grate on me a bit. I would definitely use it as a MN if not a first name.
How many of you have DC's named after someone in the family? I am imagining lots. And was it your idea or the family's idea? Did you feel pressured about it at all? I am fully aware and think it's wonderful that most people probably don't feel pressured whatsoever, but I feel just a teensy tiny bit of it when that name comes up in conversation.
Just curious
