mlmmdjm`s poll Show results | Hide results


Name-poll poll Ok may sound silly but to me this really matters...I finally gave in and decided if we are having a boy we can name him after one of DH`s favorite sports stars. (Upon approval by me of course, I`m not having a boy named Plaxico!!!) So anyway we came up with Brandon Jacob after one of the NY Giants. Here`s my problem I have a 1/2 brother named Brandon. Is it wierd to name your child after a sibling? We don`t really even see each other, so ladies what do you think?

Go for it if you like it.
Try to find another name.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I like the name all together, but it is weird to name your child after someone relatively close to you, but go for it. I would if I really liked the name. In fact, a cousin of mine is named Jill, but that is a name we are considering. `VOTE

How about changing it to Jacob Brandon?

I like the name. It doesn`t have to be that you are naming your child after your brother...it`s just a name that you and your husband like and agree on! Go for it.

I wouldn`t mind using the name James and it happens to be an uncles name but I wouldn`t be naming the kid after him. And I that our family will probably be smart enough to know that... but will still joke about it. If we go with James, I`ll have to learn to smile and keep my mouth shut. So, no I don`t think it`s weird but it might become annoying.

We used my parent`s middle names as our children`s middle names and it just so happened Joseph is also my father in law`s first name. I know people named after parents and grandparents just never an aunt or uncle. Luckily we have 7 months to figure it out. Thank you for all your helpful input.

i agree with robin your not naming him after your half brother they will just have the same name and i think its a lovely name. congrats x

Not weird at all ~ and besides you arent naming him after your half bro, you are naming him after the giant, they will just have the same name :)

It`s not weird. When I have a boy, his middle name will be Michael.. and that`s my brother`s first name. My husband`s late father`s name is Michael though, so that`s why we`re using it.

  1. Ok - why are women so terrified of forceps? I thought it was something fast and simple to get the baby out and didnt cause any excess pain. But the more Im reading up on a lot of these blogs on here I am seeing that a lot of you women had a really bad experience with forceps and refuse to use them again. Can someone explain the process of using forceps and your experience if you have one? Also what about the suctioning? Thank you!
