How do I tell him?

Question

DH was named after his grandpas. He thinks it's a good idea to follow the tradition if we have a boy. I hate the idea and I hate the combo because it's such a generic biblical name and his dad wasn't really involved in his life. How do I tell him without sounding mean?

Answer

My husband is Herbert the third. He HATES it. His grandmother (who was married to his late grandfather, Herbert Sr.) says if we have a boy we should name him Herbert IV. Thank God my husband turned that down quick!! We've decided if we ever have a boy we will pick an "H" name in honor of them but that's it. Maybe he'd be okay with that? May I ask what his name is?
