Hi guys! Not a parent yet but I love this sub because I've been learning so much for when the day actually comes. This weekend the in-laws were in town and MIL mentioned that our first born son's name would be husband's name. I didn't think much of it but brought it up to my husband after they had left and asked if he would want a junior.He said yes of course he would want his son to be named after him. I was really taken aback. This is not a thing in my family. I respect that people do it but I don't want that in my family. I think it creates a lot of confusion and there are a million names to choose from.. why would we pick the same one? I want my son to have his own identity.It's important to note that I absolutely love my husband's name. So it's not that I don't like the name. It just seems...unnecessary to me. My husband said that he is proud of his name and really wants to pass it on. I told him we are passing his last name on to the kids sooo first and middle names seems overkill.Am I being super close minded here? I know we are jumping the gun on this one since we are not pregnant but it is stressing me out a little bit. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2lV3dVM
