ok this may be a stupid poll but i heard a girl on here say that naming your baby after a loved one that passed is depressing. so i was wondering how many of you think its depressing?

If I have a boy, I want to have his name include Jacob for my best friend that died.

not depressingat all. a lot of people do it in HONOR of that loved one. usuually someone that meant something to the one naming the baby.

I personally believe it as an honor thing. Its a way to really hold on to that memory of the person. I know with my family my grandmother was the last remaining person from that side of the family other then my mother and I just wanted to honor that.. Hell if my boyfriend would let me give our child my grandfather(on my mothers side) last name i would just so he can carry that line on.

I've been trying to figure out a way to name a child after my grand-daddy. But I am not having much luck since his name was Byron B. Bowers. No middle name, just the letter B. And I am not huge on naming a boy Byron... I am thinking maybe Bower as a middle name for a boy. Idk... But I don't find it to be depressing in the least.

shit if she feel sthat way then don't do it. its not depressing. its syntamental

my son is gonna have my BD's step brothers name in his middle name since he died like 4mo before I got preg. I like the idea

Not at all depressing. We named my son after my father who passed away in 1994. It's in honor. It's not meant to be depressing. It's something to be proud of, and for your children to be proud of as well.

I dont think it is. We are naming our baby if its a boy after his deceased brother. Well the middle name. I wanted to name it after my first-ex (my first true love) but we'll see. i think its a fitting tribute

My middle name is Isabel for my dead grandmother. If this next child is a girl, her middle name will be Helen for my dead mother.

C.

my sons middle name is James after his grandpa..i dont think its depressing, i think its sweet that his grandpa will forever carry on in his name

i say not because i named my daughters middle name after my cousin who passed away in a car accident and she looked up to me and my aunt was very happy for me to use it

Not depressing at all. I would name my daughter after my mom that passed away when I was 12, I don't think I will cause I don't like the name, her name wa Ophelia. If I liked it I would defenetaly name her that!!

my son's first name is joseph, named after my grandfather who died when my mom was little. we named him that because my grandmother is 90 and has really bad dementia, and he's the only relative she still remembers.. she cried when i told him i was naming my baby after her husband. i dont think its depressing at all, i think its really sweet

thank you girls, i am naming my baby after my mother who passed away last year if its a girl that is and if its a boy then it will have its daddies first name then its grandfathers middle name he is now dying of cancer... i honestly thought of it as honoring your loved ones name.. i guess some people dont see it that way! lol, well thank you girls for your feedback
