Hi. I think my scenario might be pretty unique to some but just wondered what other mums think and whether my feelings are a bit harsh or not.
We already have a little girl and her middle name is Vida (female version of David) and means "life" after my dad passed away very young at only 51. We are now expecting a little boy and my husband has decided he would like Peter as a middle name after his dad. His dad is very much alive and whilst I love him as my father in law I can't help but think it detracts from what we chose to do with our little girl.
We want to find something meaningful as a middle name for him but I don't really like the name Peter and think it's a bit harsh on any relative we have that's alive as we haven't honored them!
What are your thoughts? Am I being unreasonable?
