Sarah M`s poll Show results | Hide results


Name-poll poll Is it fair to use my grandad`s name as a middle name if we don`t use a name from my husband`s side? I am close to my grandad and my husband didn`t really know his but he doesn`t think its fair to his family.

Yes it's fair enough - use it

YES I THINK IT`S FAIR ENOUGH YOUR CHILD WILL HAVE HIS FAMILY`S LAST NAME. SO GIVE YOUR BABY SOMETHING FROM YOUR FAMILY ALSO. THAT`S HOW I SEE IT. IF WE HAVE A BOY MY SON`S MIDDLE NAME IS GOING TO BE MY DADDY`S MIDDLE NAME.

I think it`s something you and your husband really need to agree on it`s not worth a fight.cyb has a point the baby does get your husbands last name, or you could go the two middle names route alot of people do. But it is definately not worth marital strain you don`t need that pregnant.

i think, IMHO, that you carry the baby for 9 months, he gets the daddy`s last name, gets to carry that name on, you have every right to name your baby whatever you want.

Although I think it`s important that you BOTH agree on the name, I think he is being very insensitive to you and he`s being a big old baby! This name MEANS something to you, and THAT should mean something to him!

its not your problem that he doesnt have anyone important enough or that he was close enough to to name the baby after,my first 2 boys have are named after my brother and my 3rd boy is named after my dad,when it really comes down to it no matter how much they try and fuss over names it is never really as important to them as it is to us!!

Oh my gosh! name the nexy one after someone in his family! Thank God I am not named after anyone my dads moms name is Josephina.

Oh tell him to quit whining. Yeah your child will have his last name! That`s enough right? See -- we`re using my guy`s mother`s name as a middle name and I don`t find it unfair to mine at all! If we have another child, perhaps we will name it after my mother but it`s whatever you think sounds best with the name and appropriate.

i think you should be able to use what name you want. im using a name from my side of the family with both names we are picking out for either sex. so i doesnt madder what you name your child! and you are using a family name, your husbands last name. so...thats the best name ever i think! anyways...dont let noone choose it for you yall decide and that should be it!

eCCAbOO (1569.7 days ago)
are you going to have more than 1 child? if so, then tell him that the next child will have his side of the family`s name incorporated somehow. and like the girls previously stated, the child is going to carry on your husband`s family name anyway, assuming the child takes the father`s last name. he can`t have it all! plus you carry the child for `9 months` you should have some say!

Annie85 (1569.8 days ago)
i am assuming that the baby will have his last name, he should be happy about that because when your child has a family of his own it will be his fathers last name that will be carried on

if we have a boy the middle name is going to be clinton after is brother.. but if we have a girl the middle name is going to be after my sister. its just a middle name.. who cares.

  1. Is SaraKelly still on here? I know she was a mod but I didn`t see her post in the previous Who Is A Mod poll...
  2. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  3. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  4. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  5. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  6. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  7. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  8. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  9. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  10. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
