Is it ok to name my daughter with my current wife after my ex-girlfriend?

Question

BTW - the name is also the name of my wife's mother.

Answer 1

                                                                                                                     Not if it will bring your X to mind every time you see her or hear her name.

Answer 2

Why on earth would you one, even think of that and two, do it? Plus, naming your daughter after someone you had s*x with is disturbing to say the least. You have serious issues you need to work through.

Answer 3

yea you can..but if i were you i wouldnt because i think that would be kinda wierd but yea if you would like to i think that would be fine...

Answer 4

only if in some twisted world your wife is ok with it.

personally i'd beat you -  why would u want to do that in the first place?

Answer 5

Good one bro!  Sure, name her whatever you want.  If moo moo and I ever procreate again, I'd name our daughter Rebecca.  lol

Answer 6

If you like the name why not? One of my favorite names happens to be an ex's name. I love the name. Not him.  

Answer 7

yeah sure it is and then you can name your son after her ex boyfriend too......sure hope your not serious here

Answer 8

LOL sure why not!

Answer 9

I think that you would be better off naming your little girl something else because even though it my be her mother's name she may still think that it may have something to do with your ex and that would probably cause arguments in the future.

Answer 10

In your best interest to pick a second name. Your ex girlfriends name can't be the only name you like. Ugh, that's creepy.  

Answer 11

If it is ok with your current wife. But you best let her know that is the name of an ex-girlfriend, or you'll be sleeping on the couch for the next few months after she finds out. And she WILL find out. I guarantee it.  

Answer 12

Did your ex girlfriend pass away suddenly of a rare disease or die a tragic death - if not then I suggest you re consider, unless of course you have no true genuine feelings for your new partner.

Answer 13

Yeah, but you didn't say you were going to name her after your wife's mother, you said you are going to name her after your ex-girlfriend.  Unless, this ex-girlfriend of yours died, then I think it's highly disrespectful to do that to your wife.

Answer 14

i highly doubt your wife would be too thrilled....while your at it better delete this question if she is has internet access....

Answer 15

i dont think i would do that hun.

think about it this way.. if you were having a boy, would you be ok with her naming your son after her past lovers.. especially if you knew of there names?

its always good in these kind of situations to flip the roles and see if it would offend you.. if it would, then i wouldnt suggest it.

Answer 16

I don't think your wife would appreciate a little Moo-Moo in the family!

EDIT:  Your m.i.l. is Moo-Moo TOO?  What a co-inky dink!

Answer 17

I named both of my sons after ex bf's.  I just happen to like the names.  No biggy. I never slept with anyone except my husband, so maybe that makes a difference.

Answer 18

If your wife doesn't have an issue with it. I would make sure if anything ever comes up in the future, you tell her "We named her after her grandmother". If there is any doubt, don't.

I cannot stand my husband's ex-girlfriend. I knew her before I knew him. She's just very low class. I never considered naming any of my daughters her name and neither did he, even though I like the name. She would have assumed it was because he still has a thing for her - she's that full of herself.  

Answer 19

No way!!! Unless you still like your ex-girlfriend.

Or if its a popular name still NOO!!

Answer 20

No. If the name is one she has picked than yes, but if you picked it because your ex has that name then that is really not a good idea. Your wife is liable to get quite upset and name your girl what ever she wants w/o your say so.

Answer 21

If I were your wife, I'd grab you by the balls and twist until a new name popped out of your mouth. :-)

Answer 22

Not the best thing to do. This is a child that's made by BOTH OF YOU GUYS. If you name the child after a former lover then she's obviously going to think that you still have something for your ex-girlfriend.

EDIT: If your wife is fine with naming her that there should be no problem. As long as the significance is for the mother then it's fine. However, if your relationship with your ex was serious, and calling your daughter's name will stir up memories I would best advise to name her something else. Remember, unless she legally changes her name, she's stuck with that name,

Answer 23

Well then you wouldn't be naming your daughter after your ex.. You'd be naming her after your wife's mother!

If you and your wife both agree on the name I don't see a problem.. personally i wouldn't like the idea, but thats just me-  

Answer 24

no its gonan make you thin of her everytime you look at your dauhget, or call her name ....trust me you shouldnt do that, it may lead to fights and many untild secrets

Answer 25

ARE YOU JUST PLAYING WITH US?  I THINK THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST INSENSITIVE THINGS YOU COULD ASK HERE ON ANSWERS.  IF IT WERE ME AND YOU DID THAT, BEST BELIEVE WE WOULD BE AT THE LOCAL VITAL STATISCS OFFICE CHANGING HER NAME.  AS A MATTER OF FACT WE WOULD NOT LEAVE THE HOSPITAL UNTIL THAT BIRTH DOCUMENT WAS CHANGED.  YOU HAVE NO RESPECT FOR YOUR WIFE OR DAUGHTER TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT

Answer 26

Only if the name happens to be your mother, grandmother, or Godmother's name!  Otherwise, NO, NO, NO.

Why would you want to possibly hurt your wife's feelings like that anyway?  Or, is it you do not think it would be hurtful?  Would you want your wife to name your son after her ex-boyfriend?  Just a few questions to ask yourself...honestly.

Good luck.  Enjoy your baby girl!

Answer 27

No, probably not a good idea. Unless of course your wife likes the name and KNOWS it was an ex-girlfriend's name.  

Answer 28

Why don’t you ask your wife that question and see what she thinks? When you DO NOT come back, I think we’ll know why. LOL!

Answer 29

Yeah, as long as you are really naming her after your wife's mother and not the ex-girlfriend...that is just a coincidence.  You two are expecting?  Congrats!!    

Answer 30

No, thats just selfish and your wife wouldn't like that, I mean If I grew up and got married to a guy and told him I wanted to name my son after my ex boyfriend, he'd be like, "uhhh No!"

Answer 31

You should let YOUR WIFE name the baby - if she chooses your ex girlfriend's name then it is ok.
