[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 283363, member: 84"] Janet I understand where you're coming from. But to be honest, if it weren't for mother in law, and if I were the kids ages, I wouldn't get it. I broke tradition in husband's family. I didn't with easy child. She has her great grandmother's name as a middle name. Didn't with Nichole, she has mother in law's name as her middle name. Would've been her first name but mother in law begged me not to do that to her. lol mother in law's name is Elise, and I happen to think it a beautiful name. I broke tradition with the boy. The world came to a screeching halt for a while. Lucky mother in law really likes me or we may not have spoken for a while. lol This tradition has been going on for a couple hundred years. Travis has his own name. He wasn't going to be a Fred (husband's name). He wasn't going to be an Oliver or Hart. His paternal grandfather's names, and husband's brothers name, he's a Jr. Nor did I use mother in law's maiden name as his middle name. sister in law did that with her son. Travis is Travis Michael. I was willing to go so far as to give him husband's middle name Sumner. Because that's the last name of the uncle husband is named for.....and that line has died out, his uncle and aunt never had children. But husband shot that down. I don't see why they can't do this small thing for you, all things considering. Obviously it's quite important to you. Four names is no big deal. My brothers kids all have 4 names....and they don't even go together. lmao But bottom line is it's their child, they get to name it. The best I can hope for is my kids so far haven't chosen a name I really hate. lol I haven't asked that they carry on the tradition. easy child wanted Brandon to be an Oliver Hart...but sister in law said NO Way. I'm glad he did as I don't like the name. lol Darrin is named after my cousin who was like a brother to me. Aubrey was named after Kayla, they share a middle name. But most kids don't get the "tradition" thing. Maiden names were middle names so that family connections and ties could be traced regardless of marriage. Maybe if you approached them that way?
