Should I carry on the surname? ?

Question

My husband is the 3rd generation but his name is Michael Joseph which is sooooo common. But our last name is so unique and Irish so I want our baby to have a irish name. Plus my Daughter's name is Dai Riley (dai is pronounced Day) So to have a common name with a unique name??? help!

Answer 1

I don't think it matters having a common name with a unique name, especially since it is a tradition.  I really like Liam. I also like Eamon (Ay-mon). Good luck deciding

Answer 2

what does your husband think?  it's his kid too, right?

Answer 3

I really like Shane, Blaine, Casey, Dillan, Finn, Keanu, and Blaire, if you want Irish baby names.

Answer 4

Liam is my favorite Irish name.  It's the Irish version of William.

You could name him Liam Joseph.

Answer 5

Don't carry on the name.

Answer 6

Personally, I hate juniors and seniors and III.  I think everyone deserves their very own name and identity.  By all means, name your baby whatever you want to name it, and make it as original as you want.  It's your baby!

Answer 7

yeah Michael Joseph is really common, i prefer unique names. nice name for your daughter too you should come up with a cute name like that for your son :-)

Answer 8

dnt carry on names, its sad to be a jr. let your son have  a unique name just like his sister does:]
