My boyfriends wants to name a boy child !!!?

Question

ok my boy friend wants to name a boy child the 3. he is a jr and his dad passed away five years ago. how do i say noooooooooooo. without hurting his feelings?

Answer 1

Just tell him that you would like to name him something else because you don't want them to get mixed up when he gets older.  

Answer 2

I never really liked Earnhardt.. can you name someone a number?

While your at it how bout, Winston, 7 Time, Daytona, Intimidator, Drafting, Complete Jerk, Turn 4.

Answer 3

Tell him its a tough decision and its one that should take time and an open mind to many possibilities. You should let him know that you don't completely object to his idea of naming the child the 3rd but want to look at many options.  

Answer 4

The law won't let you name a child a number.

However, if you're trying to say that he's wanting to name him the third, like Freddie Sam George, III, then he can do that. If you don't agree, then maybe this isn't the man for you.

Answer 5

If you are going to give the child his last name, tell him that it's important to you to be able to pick out the first name. It's not like the family name isn't going to be passed on... it just won't be the first name.

Answer 6

Maybe you could compromise and use the family name as the middle name.

I wouldn't want a third either.

The third you guys!!

you know like john, john jr, john thr third(3)

I got it.

Answer 7

gently

Answer 8

Just be honest and say Helllllloooonoooo!! For real ...if i'm reading this right he wants to name a boy child Like ; Michael Nepolian Zit III ? The 3rd? lordy lordy, no no!!! Everyone can be informed about the "boy" being a "III" he doesn't have to wear a sign to prove it. Maybe theres a way it could be on his birth certificate only, and he won't have to use it in school and c**p. But your boyfriend really needs to get a grip with reality here. Tell him he needs to concider that issue!!! There's not too many people naming there children III's now or days.

Answer 9

The 3 beats that symbol Prince used for awhile.

Answer 10

no ppl, some didn't understand the 3, she means like the third...like bob senior, bob junior, etc. lol.  I would say that you want the baby to be named after someone in your family too.  That you can write out both of the names you come up with yurs & his and then maybe find a way to combine them or re-arrange the letters to be something completely original.

Answer 11

Just tell him that you both need to agree on a name and you don't feel it is approapriate to name your child the same name as him and his dad.  It could get confusing.  Compromise.  Name the child's first name something you both like, and then use the middle name to honor the family name.  

Answer 12

how about his middle name could be child, than he might accept it

tell him thats not a name, he can be mocked i  school and all

xoooxoxo

Answer 13

just nicely say let's look at names together, or just get a baby name book & look at it together.

Answer 14

Pfft what a self centered person you are....I pray for your child's welfare.

Answer 15

I read this 6 times. I don't get it.

Answer 16

I, myself, am a third =D. As a little kid, I hated it. But I'm quite proud of it now. I wouldn't go for a fourth, though.

You'd upset him no matter what by telling him no, but if you really want a different name, you have to tell him.

Answer 17

thats a pretty loser name  is it really "child the III" ??i ´d say that you can find too many other ways to honor his dad by living a good life and raising that boy right, but that's not even a name and he shouldn't be selfish to name his son after him , it is selfish enogh to go around having your own DNA duplicated but to give it the same name as you...its just the epitome of egocentrism

Answer 18

honey. i know you think the three is cute. but he will be teased and tourtured in school. and i honestly dont like it. why dont we name his a versionof your name.(like ronald, ronnie, rhonda)

Answer 19

Just be honest, you want to come up with a name together...  

Answer 20

Your probaby like 13. You can't plan to have a baby that age. It's your baby anyways your the one whose going through all the pain?

Answer 21

Just let him name him like that.

Answer 22

~Do you mean he wants to name the baby if he is a boy after himself and his father?  Blank blank the 3rd?  I don't think I am getting the question either....

If you do not want him named after his father and grandfather, that is something you will both have to work out.  It is his baby too.

Answer 23

You mean does he want to name him John "Jones" 111.  Like the third John Jones...So nothings wrong with that..John Jones the Third..Whatever..  

Answer 24

a boy named the 3 that sounds pretty weird just say "i dont know im not good at naming why dont you do it"  

Answer 25

You tell him if he wants to name the kid then he should have the ballz to marry you because after his non committed azz splits the scene you don't want to be reminded of him every day by saying his name.

Answer 26

idk I really don't like names like that... Names need to be someone's own. bring it to him slowing hinting him at other names.....

Answer 27

Let him name the child. It will mean so much to him. And you can nickname him Trey (3). Uno, dos trez

Answer 28

you guys need to come to a compromise.Maybe you can use his father's name as the child's middle name.That way everyone gets what they want.

Answer 29

You don't.  Passing his name to his child is a rite of masculinity.  You can tell him no, but there is no way of not hurting his feelings.

Answer 30

he wants to call him _the three_

wtf? ahhaa

just be like i don't think i like it  

Answer 31

More info needed.  Do you mean he wants to name him like John Doe 3rd ot the 3?
