hi, Need to get some outside perspective on my situation. We are about to have our second child, in 5 weeks time. We have just this week worked out a name we both really like for a boy or a girl - its taken this long :-) Anyway, my husband gets a call from his father today basically saying that he expects us to name the child after his parents , my husband said we have already agreed that the middle name of the child will be the name of his parents. but his dad said no, its traditional to have the first name beginning with the first letter of his parents and that if my husband respects him as his dad he should do this . Well, my husband is in shock and obviously very upset as we have tried to find a name we both like beginning with the first letter of the grandparents but can't find a name we like. I know most people will be shocked and say how disgusting it is that they are asking this, but the fact is that they are and I don't want to loose a relationship about this. I think its not fair on my children to not see their grandparents and also not fair on my husband.
Anyway hope that makes sense, guess I just need some other perspectives about this and how I deal we deal with this.
