He wants to name the baby after his dead girlfriend

[Whambamthankyoumam111]

Hi. New to this. Just wanted thoughts on this. My partner and I are expecting our first baby soon and coming up with baby names. Tonight out of the blue he suggested a name which I know is the name of his girlfriend who died years ago. A woman he has put on a pedestal since. I was not happy and he tried to diffuse the situation saying that it was just a nice name.
I am super mad about the fact that he would even suggest it. Am I overreacting?

This! What a bizarre thing to suggest in the first place.

@Whambamthankyoumam111 why should be let go of her. When people die we don't just erase them from memory. How incredibly cold. Yes you don't have to accept or use the name but you can't expect hom to forget about her.
