HelpRe: A Little Dilemma With Honour Names (Warning: long!)
in reply to a message by Cynthiana
I really don't think you should be so preoccupied with what other people think.. they won't care, they probably won't even notice.
It does seem a little hypocritical for you to refuse to name a son to honour your father-in-law, but to insist on naming a daughter after your mother.. but that's between you and your partner.
Sometimes sentences don't end the way you think they salad.

Yeah, I know it's a bit hypocritical, which is why I'm asking you guys. I love my FIL, but he already has four sons carrying his name (and surely some of their offspring will, too), which is why I prefer to use my DH's middle name for a son instead. Just to clarify: we don't want to name our son after my FIL, but after DH. DH has always gone by his middle name, except on paper. I dislike his real first name, and don't see the point of using it.. He doesn't even like it himself, but he's reluctant to "break" the tradition.
