A bit of a what would you do, hope this is the right place for it.
DSIL has recently told us she's pregnant, we're really happy for them. Whilst we were visiting (they live 7 hrs away), she told us the names they've decided on, apparently they've been decided for over a year.
Well, the boys name they've chosen is a family name on my side (going back about 7 generations) which I was really hoping to carry on if we have a son. DH has decided we can no longer consider this name, even if they have a girl. Apparently we can't even use it as a middle name as SIL will kick off about 'her' name.
Now I know neither of us 'own' this name, would you use a name your SIL has told you is her chosen name? as a middle name? Or should I just accept I can't carry on this family name?
