I was thinking about honoring names today and I was thinking about my grandmothers name, Hilda.

---

I love the name now and would definitely consider using it as a FN.

---

However, I was wondering whether if I was going to, whether I should ask permission.

---

The second thought was that my grandfather (Stewart) had two birth certificates, one where his name was Gabriel and the one that he got later in life with the name that he knew himself as (Stewart).
(Very long story.. but essentially he thought his name was Stewart LN and it wasn't till much later in his life when he couldn't find his original birth certificate and when they checked the dates and the hospital and mothers details his birth certificate listed him as Gabriel different LN)

---

I definitely plan on using Stewart as a second MN, but I really love Gabriel at the moment. So I was thinking if we did use Gabriel to ask my father if it was ok as it could be a sensitive name for him due to all the confusion about my grandfathers real name.

---

So would you ask permission in honouring?

---

ETA: Would you still use the name if the person objected.
