Ladies...do you think men want to name their babies...?

Question

After past girlfriends, but would never admit it?

I caught my brother doing that, and told him I would have his head if he did!

What do you guys think?

Answer 1

Hmmm, Id be questioning his loyalty - for sure.  Seriously, who doesnt associate names with people you know by that name.



Like, think of the names Hillary (Clinton) or Martha (Stewart) - whoever else has been cursed with such names Im very sorry - but I automatically get that awkward unsociable feeling when I meet people by that name.  

OR think of Paris, I assume they are all flakes - dont you?  

OR how about Britney, poor thing...

Answer 2

YIKES i so wish he would! oooooh i'd kill him, probably leave him actually...good thing my daughter's name is unique and the other didnt become reallly popular til 3 yrs ago (i chose them anyway) that would so p**s me off. any guy that would do that is a sick sick twisted sorry man. Ugh that makes me sick!

Answer 3

I will let you in on a secret I figure out about men

Men are not that bright, most lack common sense

Men thing women are to dumb to figure things out

Answer 4

You mean after thier names or after THEM literally?

I would KILL my fiance if he even suggested it after an Ex bc he loved or liked her alot.....

Answer 5

yes i do, or at least i would hope so. it should be a joint decision. i hope the husbands/ boyfriends get just as involved as the women do.

Answer 6

well, I married one who only had one past serious relationship... and we only have a son who I named. So not an issue!

Answer 7

My husband likes names of girls he thought were pretty growing up, so he likes: Amanda, Katie, Ashley, Tiffany, Heather, and Alaina.  

If he tried naming our kid after an ex-gf he'd be eatin' teeth!

Answer 8

I don't think even men can separate names from the people they had relationships with. Therefore HECK NO would I ever let a bf do that and if I found out after the naming I would refuse to call her that. I'm sorry to say that some immature men would definitely do that, the sneaky bit about not telling you it was an ex gf's name. I would jealously think that the my boyfriend would think of his ex every time he talked to or played with our baby. He probably wouldn't in reality though.

Good Question to think about and scary...

Answer 9

One of my ex boyfriend's gave his daughter my name (spelled different though). His girlfriend at the time must have been crazy because his WHOLE family told her about me!! and she still let him do it!

I feel a little honored though lol

Answer 10

One of my friends had an ex-boyfriend she hadn't spoken to  in years because he moved out of state, but they ran into each other by chance and he confessed that he had given his daughter the middle name Victoria after her (it is my friends middle name also). His wife has no idea to this day that that is why he insisted on that as a middle name and their daughter is 10 years old! Since that chance meeting, she communicates by e-mail with both he and his wife, and they all get together a couple times a year when he brings his wife and kids to town. My friend is scared to death that someday his wife will find out that Victoria is HER middle name and will hold it against her!! It would be one thing if he just liked the name, but that is not the case, so it's very awkward for her.

I think if a guy honestly just likes the name, and there are no lingering feelings there, that's one thing but entirely another if the ex is the only reason that name got discussed.

Answer 11

i think they might just like the name, but not necessarily know that its "naming" their child after an ex, just a subconscious thing

Answer 12

No!

Well, if they do they are stupid. I'd NEVER EVER let my husband try to name their child after an ex. That's crazy...Your brother must have been on drugs...! Lol. I'm kidding. I'd never name my child after an ex boyfriend, so!

Answer 13

yes i think that some may want to, but it doesn't mean that they will because they will be risking their marriage for it.

Answer 14

I would have his head. I was 16 before i found out i was named after a girl my dad wanted to date but she just wanted to be friends with him. My mom had no idea until my dad told me why he insisted on my name. My mom was not happy with him.

Answer 15

OMG!... i thought that i was the only girl that thought that!!!... I always say i wouldnt let my boyfriend/husband name a baby girl of ours...

Answer 16

That's funny because it is family lore that I am named after my Dad's old girlfriend.

My Mom went along with it but insisted it be pronounced correctly.

I almost chocked when I found out...I couldn't believe my Mom said Ok!
