My spouse wants to name our baby boy that comes in December after him, (David Anthony Baty) but id like to give him his own name, atleast his own first name! Id like his name to be Camren Anthony Baty or Camren David Baty or Camren David Lee Baty< then he has my dads name in his name too! David likes Camren David Baty. Well my mom says that i should go with something we ageree on, becuase im the one carrying the baby for nine months and giving birth too, so i should deffinately like my babys name! David says that its his first boy and he thinks the first son should be a jr, plus his friends agree, but i never heard of no rule the first boy has to have the same name as there dad! They are their own person and they should have their own name! What does everyone think about this?

I have never liked the idea of 'juniors', especially when the whole name is exactly the same as the fathers, does that practice have to do with ego or is it just plain laziness? Personally I'd rather pick out a name especially for the baby, or if tradition had to be followed in some way, choose a family name from a few generations back. I'm with you, I've never seen the rule where it says a first son has to have the same name as his dad.

i totally understand your view, but you have to understand his view too. just because he is not carrying or delivering the baby, does not make David any less of a parent or decision maker than you, you have to be fair to him, he is still your life partner. From a guys point of view, (i asked my dad and brother who are JR and III, what they thought about it) naming a first born son after them, is almost like proof that they truely are a father now. The child does not live in a shadow of their father unless they are raised to live that way. I went to school with two girls who had the same name (rachael katheryn perez). and even though they had the same name, they were completly different from each other, they did not live in one anothers shadow and they were their own person, -so just because they have the same name, doesnt mean they will be the same. You can call your son by his middle name instead, or call him junior or J R. =

Hi Guest5150, I answered this on the general questions board, and you seemed to be offended (i said my brother and dad had same name and it was frustrating for everyone involved due to postal mail confusion and confusion when calling out for someone) . If you are so adament its not a problem and you like the idea, then why are you asking the question? Each to their own I say. You asked for other opinions, and you are getting them. I certainly wasnt telling you not to, only telling you how i feel about it after watching the problems we had from it. if you arent calling him by that name, the point is moot anyway. In Australia (where im from) its not as common as in the USA, where i have met more jnr's than i can count just from visits there! So do whatever you want. No point getting defensive, i dont think anyones trying to have a go at you..but i am a little taken back by your response (same response as youve given here)

Chris1975, I think you are a lot confused. First of all, I didnt ask the question to begin with and i didnt ask for others opinions, i was giving my opinion to the original poster of BOTH threads --tashabaty--

WOW!! Chris1975 you were totally harsh while attempting to put guest in hers, when in fact you are totally out of line. guest didnt ask the question in the first place, tashabaty did. Guest was simply giving her opinion just like you did on the other thread. I think you owe her an apology.
