Unwanted Middle Name

My husband really wants our first girl to have his mom’s middle name. I really truly don’t. I don’t care for the name, it’s spelled in a way that doesn’t really make sense, and to be quite honest I don’t want to name my child after her in any way. She is not a very nice person, and I’m just not her biggest fan.

He doesn’t want any of our children to have my mom’s middle name because it’s also his great-aunt’s first name, and he doesn’t want her to think she had anything to do with the name.

Should we both give up on our mom’s middle names being passed down? We have tried combining the names, and we don’t really like any of those results either.
