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.
