HelpRe: Honoring - would you ask permission.
in reply to a message by Bex
I really think it depends on your family dynamic. Both my kids have family names. For my daughter, both my great grandma (Amalia) and grandma had both passed before I was even married, so their wasn't really anyone alive who would have really cared deeply if I used the name or not. After we did, my grandpa kept saying how happy it would have made my grandma to know we had done that.
For my son, he's named after my dad and my father in law. We didn't ask. We announced the name after we knew the gender. Of course, they were both thrilled. But we knew they would be. If they had been offended somehow, I believe they would have said something and we would have reconsidered.
