MIL and name

[bettybets]

We talked baby names with my MIL and my DD1 middle name is named after my mum, after talking we said we would use MIL name as the middle name for DD2. However i didnt really think about it and now i really dont like the name.

Really worried about telling MIL as she can be really funny and i know she will go on about this for ages. She has already told some people that DD2's middle name will be her name.

i feel awful, but i really dont want to use her name.

Ernest is right, it is soooo different if MIL expresses an interest in names and is put in her place from the beginning - OP said she would use MIL's name, MIL has told loads of people cos she's chuffed to bits, just absolutely unforgivable to go back on it now, and for what?? It's a middle name!!

I would use it if you said you would. I'll be doing the same 'cept I've got Margaret [wanna swap?]

Oh dear OP hasn't come back. I don't think she liked the direction of the thread. :(

CheerfulYank cats bum mouth for Owen how peculiar.

Another vote in favour of using it. Lynn's a good middle-name, and because it's short you could have two middle names. It does have to be Lynn, though, not some variation.

Come back OP! What have you decided?

My niece is Lynne and she gets called Elle as her surname was the same as the actress, McPherson. Could you use Elle.

Two middle names
