Family names

My mums first name is the same as my MIL middle name. We plan to use this and my hubbys fav name as middle names. Is this ok or disrespectful to MIL?

What makes you feel it could be disrespectful to MIL? I think she would be honoured x

It’s a nice way of honouring both of them though so hopefully she wouldn’t find it disrespectful x

They both have the name so it's a nod to them both

It's your way of honouring both grandmothers because it's their both names. It doesn't matter if it's a middle name or the first name. If she feels upset because you didn't pick her first name, she'd be a self absorbed bitch. Sorry to say that, but life is not about and around her. You thought of a nice way to honour both grandmothers and that's the nicest you could do.

It's a nice way balancing both sides and honouring both grannies👍 You can't please everyone, do what makes you comfortable, happy and feels right for your baby. TBH, they should feel proud of you xx
