HelpRe: A Little Dilemma With Honour Names (Warning: long!)
in reply to a message by Cynthiana
When you're considering naming a child after the mom or dad, I don't think one is any more arrogant than the other. And there have been parents who've unashamedly named children after themselves (i.e., Desiderio (Desi) Arnaz and Lucille Ball named their children Desiderio (Desi), Jr., and Lucie Desiree). It's been done lots of times though not my thing.
I don't think it would necessarily look stupid to use (hypothetically) William or Mary as the fn. It's just not very exciting unless you absolutely adore those names. I perfectly understand why you'd want to use Mary as your mom sounds like an awesome person. Still, life is short and if this were me, I'd go with fns that my dh and I loved and use William and Mary in the middle which would still honor just as much as if they'd be used in the fn spot.
