[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 334409, member: 4264"] I remember reading your posts a while back about the family names thing. I think its terrific that you chose to name Jamie for the reasons that you did. I remember well how hurt you were that another child was named after Tony's family and how much you wanted to have a grandchild named after someone in your family. I'm sorry to hear it still hurts you to think of it. I imagine alot of the hurt comes from how Tony's family has treated you all these years. Could well be that it wouldn't faze you at all if they were good people towards you and your children. I hate to hear you still hurt by it though. For what its worth, naming a child after someone meaningful in the family can be a true honor. Other times, many people just follow the common tradition. My easy child has my mothers name in her middle names. I hate it. I have regrets sometimes for having done this, given my mother is the root cause of my post traumatic stress disorder. Yet, most of the time, now that I've dealt with the decision more, I just tell myself I did what was expected by some in the family and in the end, its just a name. Sometimes a name can have great meaning. Other times, its just a word. Thats how I consider it (most of the time anyhow). [/QUOTE]
