Long post alert! So my husband and I are expecting our first child due June 11, 2020. My husband is a IV(4th) and he's always told me he would want to carry on the name if he had a son. I kinda always just hoped he would change his mind because I genuinely HATE the concept, I've done everything I can to see it from his POV and I dont want to be the one that ruins a family tradition but I literally cant stand the idea of naming our child the same name as him, his dad, his grandfather and great grandfather.. mind you we don't know the gender just yet but I have this gut feeling that it will be a boy - I don't particularly have a preference as long as its healthy but I cant lie this name thing is making me hope for a girl. A few weeks ago my husband mentioned that he was not 100% set on the name and that got my hopes up but last night the conversation was brought up again and he really wants his name to carry on.. I just feel like our child will be their own person and should have their own name. My husbands father brings it up every time we see him and I honestly feel like he is putting more pressure on my husband to carry out the name than he should. It's not the name that I don't like bc i love my husbands name but the concept I feel it just has to end somewhere.. all opinions are welcomed!

UPDATE: baby is a BOY! I am so very excited, I always wanted a boy first so it's perfect... we'll see how this name thing goes though
