baby names

I’m facing a little bit of struggle and I want to ask opinions. I have had the same first name in mind for my baby because it’s the only one my boyfriend loved out of any of the ones I said. The middle name is the one thing I’m trying to decide on. I love the idea of doing a name after someone important in my family and my grandmother passed away fairly recently at the end of 2021. I was very close with her but I was also very close with my other grandmother as well who passed away in about 2014-2015. I was going to use my dads mom name for the middle name because of the fact that my moms mom was named Theresa and that’s the dads moms name who I just don’t want her to be named after in the slightly even though it wouldn’t be for her but still. I now have a guilty conscience for doing one and not the other but I really started to love the name I chose with that middle name. I know this is why some people say not to name them after someone because it creates problems like this but I’m not sure how to go about it now. Any opinions?

That does sound like a tough situation. I would suggest going with the name you like. A lot of people only name their child after one relative, and perhaps you can use your other grandmother's name in the future. You could also try finding a nickname for Theresa that you like or your grandmother's middle name and use it for one of your daughter's middle names.I hope that helps!
