Is it wrong of me?
*Long post, sorry*🤷🏽♀️
Hello all!
So, my husband and I are expecting our first baby in January. We learned a week and a half ago our baby was a boy!!
We always had the first name down but we couldn’t really settle with a middle name.
Our sons first name will be Santiago, & we were going to settle for my husbands name; Noe as the middle.
Well 2 days ago, my sister in law came over & asked what I thought about the name Bonifacio, & if I liked it for our baby boy.
I immediately swooned over it, because that’s my great grand fathers middle name & she had no idea.
In English It translates into Boniface & to me, Santiago Boniface sounds a lot smoother than Santiago Noe (no-way).
Ok ok.. now here’s what I want to know if it’s wrong ..
Yesterday my grandma, mother, sister, husband & I were all together, my grandma asked if we had figured out a middle name, so I thought it’d be the perfect time to tell her my story & what we thought for the middle name.
She fell into her seat with a blank stare on her face. My instant reaction was she’s so hurt that I’d choose that.
But she looked at me with tears in her eyes & said that would be such an honor to have her dads name incorporated in her first grandchild’s name.
We were all so happy, until my sister chimes in.
She says “you know, I’m kind of upset, I want to use that for my child’s name”
& we all just look at each other.. very confused.
My grandma told her that she too could use that as a middle name because a name is a name, & it would honor her even more if she went on to use it for her future children as well.
So is it wrong of me to choose this name of my sister is so upset by it? I had no idea she would ever use that name. Our son will be the first child born, making my mother a grandma & my grandma a great grandma.
She’s been very upset my whole pregnancy so far & has been very jealous of the attention I’ve received.
I’ve never been closer to my grandma until now, but my sister has been close with her, her entire life .
Maybe I just needed to vent, & have some opinions, because I am so lost 😴
