Buy dp hates the idea and the name!

My Nan died in January and dd2 is due this January. I always said if I have another girl I want her to have my Nans name as her middle name. I miss my Nan so much and it would make me so happy to use her name.

It is an old name and certainly not in the the top 100 names but it means something to me.

Dp chose dd1s name which I have never liked.

What would you do?? I think I will regret it if I let him win. Thanks.

Both my girls have "family" names as their middle names. DD1 has my mums name as her middle name and DD2 has a version of DP's mums name as her middle name.

Can't you use it as her first name?? I mean, if DP chose DD1's name and it's not one you really like then surely it's ok for DD2 to have a name that makes you really happy? (personally I wouldn't agree to name either of mine unless I was happy with the names, DP thought of both girls first names, but I like the names too, or we wouldn't have used them!)

Go for it!
