Re: Honoring - would you ask permission.
in reply to a message by Bex
The fact that you are having doubts about it means to me that you probably should ask. Even if only to reassure your feelings about everything.

Agreed. In general, I don't think you need to ask, but in this particular circumstance I think it'd be best. And I wouldn't use it if they objected. Also, Bex, I freakin' love that you'd consider using Hilda as a first.

haha. ThanksI always hated my grandmothers name, but now I love it! Its so unique and classic and not popular at all! I love the idea of calling her Hilly for short (my gran has no nickname).My only worry for asking my grandmother permission is that i'm pretty sure she hates her name so she wouldn't want me to use it for that reason alone!Daphne & Hilda are our top 2 (and pretty much only) girls names.

Ah, I see. It would be a bit of a shame if she didn't want you to use it... Maybe you could have Mathilda as a back up? If you like it, that is, but I personally think Daphne and Mathilda would be precious :)
