Subject: Being "fair" in honouring

For any of you who have named a child in honour of a parent/grandparent, have their been any raminfications for choosing one grandparent over the other?

Obviously if I were to have a daughter and wanted to name her after my deceased grandmother, that wouldn't really be an issue. But what it, say I wanted to name her after my living mother-in-law. Wouldn't my also living mother have every right to be offended? Or do I just forget them and do what I want?

For those that have done it, how did you go about it and how was it received?

Mattea Ruth is the name I'm thinking of. Ruth being honouring.
