Am I wrong

lnh2008 · October 2011

My DH has a son from a previous relationship named after him but not a Jr. If we have a boy, he wants to name our son Jr. I'm protesting! I just don't want my kid to have the same first and last name as my step-son. Am I being petty?

kellyh21 · October 2011

No. That seems ridiculous to me!

brookelynpaisley · October 2011

Um, he already has one kid named after him, why does he need two? I don't think this is so much about the kid having the same name as the step-son, but about his apparent case of George Forman complex.

Although, I can't imagine that would make the step-son feel very good. He was good enough to have his dad's name, but now he needs to be practically replaced with his sibling from baby momma #2?

AimesH · October 2011

no..you aren't being petty. Your DH sure thinks alot of himself...

mrsb_IN · October 2011

No! I don't think so. I'm not really for naming any children after the parents, but if you're going to, one son with the same first and last name is plenty, IMO. I'd find it weird to meet two brothers (even half brothers) with the same first and last name.

You're not being petty. That's just weird and confusing. This reminds me of George Foreman.

StephCripps · October 2011

No I don't think you are wrong..

I don't understand why your husband would want to have his son's named the same

Good point!

You are the sane one.

It's like a Case of George Foreman or Deion Sanders Bodysnatchers.

Like on King of The Hill, Hank's father named his second son Good Hank.

This! Seems rather narcissistic, not to mention incredibly hurtful to your stepson's feelings.

nealbl · October 2011

Good Lord your DH is being quite selfish and arrogant that he thinks all his children should be named after him

hmr22 · October 2011

No, why would he want 2 kids with the same name.

femmepink · October 2011

I bet he wants a daughter named after him, too. And the family cat.

ETA: grammar fail.

salt78 · October 2011

That's just weird. I'd protest that also.

Wasn't it George Foreman that named all his sons after him?

Lol, GH.

appylovee · October 2011

no you are not! That sounds ridiculous. So your DH wants to have three males in your house with the same first and last names? I guess he has "George Formanitis" lol he wants to name everyone after himself!

magsugar13 · October 2011

wow...and if he has a 3rd son?

full of himself much?

bizarre

alliejo725 · October 2011

You're not being petty. Your husband's being an ass. You can tell him I said so.

Nobody needs two people named after them. Nobody.

karen_loy · October 2011

you're not wrong, your DH sounds like he's really egocentric, and as PPs said it extremely mean on your stepson

Yes, this!

btartaroind · October 2011

My boss' dad named both his sons after him, different middle names. However, all three middle names start with the same letter. So their first, middle initial, and last names are all the same. I grew up with it becasue I've known him for a while, so I'm used to it, but they all go by their middle names because it would be impossible to go by their firsts. I would never do that...

ObLaDi · October 2011

That is bizarre and ridiculous.

I'd be extremely surprised to find a single person on here who disagrees.

ashunt279 · October 2011

Not being petty at all. He already has a kid named after him. Besides, he's not George Forman. Not all your kids should be named after him.

BFab11 · October 2011

I don't have much else to add. Tell DH to get over himself.

winter-shock · October 2011

There is no way I would cave to that!

RedCardinal · October 2011

Well it's a good thing they hand the birth certificate papers to the mother. At least here they do.

MamaMandaW · October 2011

My Dad has a cousin that married an idiot named Greg.. he had a son from a previous relationship, Greg Jr. Well, when they had their 1st son together.. they named him Gregory also.. what idiots.. Poor boy goes G.R. (his first and middle initial) since Greg (his dad) and Gregory (his half brother) were already taken...
