There’s nothing inherently wrong with naming your kid after a late friend or family member. There are tons of kids who are named after family members they never knew because they passed away young, and all of those kids don’t have psychological issues stemming from the pressure of living up to their supposed greatness. There …

Mom-to-be wants to name her daughter ‘Audrey,’ sister protests and says it’s too outdated: ‘We eventually just kicked her out of the shower’
I don’t know about you but I love an old-fashioned name. I love a name that sounds like it was plucked right out of a storybook. Why? Because it’s cute. A baby named Dorothy… c’mon. That’s adorable. A toddler named Theodore? Almost too cute to stand. A kid named Beatrice? Color me tickled. Because babies …

Husband wants to name his 3rd child after his mother, doesn’t understand why wife refuses: ‘I really truly fear that it will cause issues in our marriage’
Names are powerful things. Odds are there is probably a name that you have negative associations with. Maybe it’s the name of your middle school tormentor that whenever you hear it you get a chill down your spine. Maybe it’s the name of your old piano teacher who you dreaded seeing every Saturday. Maybe it’s …

32-year-old dad-to-be insists on naming his baby after a D&D character, refuses to compromise with wife who likes classic names: ‘I don’t want to name our child after a fictional character’
I understand the appeal of naming a baby after your favorite fictional character. When I was a tween, I was convinced I would name my future baby after one of the non-Cartman characters in South Park. Now that my frontal lobe is fully developed, I understand that explaining to people that my son Stanley is …

‘Like she owned the rights to every baby name in the family’: Entitled aunt insists new parents rename their baby and give him a more ‘biblical’ name, parents adamantly refuse
As children, some of you might have kept a list of baby names either in your noggin, on a piece of paper, or in your iPad’s Notes app. You probably used these names when you played «house» with Sally and Jimmy from next door. Having your mind set on names early on in your life …

20-year-old tries to stop sister from naming her newborn after a fungal infection, sister says she’s ‘stepping way out of line’: ‘Just tell the husband what it means’
I’m all for an unconventional name. I know people love to give celebrities flack for the offbeat names that they often choose for their offspring, especially the Kardashian variety. But personally, I don’t mind a name with a little bit of flair. It may get a groan from your relatives but I have a feeling …

Parents refuse to name their baby ‘Henry’ after his paternal grandfather, grandmother berates them for not following family tradition of naming male heirs ‘James’ or ‘Henry’: ‘She said I was breaking a tradition that went back hundreds of years’
I’ve never understood naming the men in your family the same thing, generation after generation. It’s confusing, and IMHO, it dilutes the significance of the name. If everyone is John, then the original John is just one of many. I like passing down family names through middle names. My mom’s middle name is «Wainwright,» after …

New mom wants pregnant sister-in-law to change her baby’s middle name in case she wants to use it for a second child: ‘The in laws googled our names and found the registry’
Names are curious things. They carry a lot of weight to them, even when we don’t want them to. We might hate our names and spend our whole lives shaking them off. But our parents had a different idea. They probably spent a lot of time and energy picking out our names, making them meaningful, …

‘I would start calling her kid Charlie 2’: New mom names newborn the same name as sister’s 4-year-old dog, demands sister change the dog’s name
A good dog name isn’t easy to decide on. It needs to be cute, catchy, easy to nickname (because you know that’s what you’re going to end up calling them anyway), and at least somewhat meaningful. There are a few solid classics, for sure. I know so many dogs (and cats, for that matter) named …

Grandma-to-be flips out when mom refuses to name unborn child after brother who passed away when she was 16: ‘She told me I was being cold-hearted’
Welcoming a new baby into the family should be a time of happiness and harmony between parents and their adult kids. In many cases, though, it turns out to be anything but. There are two things that bring up old issues and grudges between relatives like no other, and they are weddings and producing a …
