Can you not name her after your mum? Why do you have to use his mothers name?

yes, I second to telling them if you are bucking with tradition and they are not satisfied with any old bollocks you tell them.

How about Catherine as a middle name? I don't think I would mind that as middle names are never used really.

Do the grandparents to be know about the fling? If they do then its totally acceptable imo to tell them the real reason.

I think he lost the right to name his new baby after his mother when he cheated on you with someone else with the same name.

You are not being moany. Not sure why you're even discussing it. No, no and thrice, no!

If he can't see why then he is a total dick.

FWIW my DP's ex fiancé and Norge are both Cargerine - and I made it clear to him that I didn't want to use the name for that reason.

That'd be a no, I think.

ongakgak · 05/05/2011 20:49

HELL NO!

OnlyWantsOne · 05/05/2011 20:49

But you don't want to use the same name. I'd feel the same.
