Would you be uncomfortable with your partner wanting to give your kid their ex's name?

OK let's say they dated this person about 5 years ago (weren't in an official relationship) and they've loved his name ever since. You actually like the name alot and its apparent they no longer have feelings for this person.

Oh dear. I can understand this. Everytime I hear my partners ex's name I think ugh, when I was looking for girls names a couple years ago anything sounding like her name was a big no

I wouldn’t even name my child names I like that correlate to ppl I don’t like in real life. Let alone someone my child’s father used to bang. Smh

I didn’t read the description before I voted... Given those circumstances, I wouldn’t care. Especially if I liked the name as well.

I said same lol. As in i hit the wrong button on the poll , but typed with one hand and I guess I didn’t really hit the “s” so it turned to and . I wasn’t questioning you 😂

NOT happening! It actually caused some trouble when naming our boy, as my SO really wanted to name baby the same as one of my exes. My other ex has the only family name I would consider using, so that didn't work either. They are both good people, but I would picture them each time the name is mentioned so it would be odd.

Your child as an adult: Mom, whats the story behind my name? You: oh, we named you after your daddy’s Ex. 😑 see how that sounds?

Honestly it would depend on the ex for me. Like, I could name my kid Hunter and be okay with it. But there's no way in hell I'd name my kid Maxwell or Sean

So I have a funny story...kind of has to do with this. Before me, my husband was dating and engaged to this girl for like 4 years...it didn’t work out. Then like 2 years later he meets me we started dating and eventually get married. Now when we found out we were pregnant with a boy he was DEADSET on the name Logan. Said it was his favorite name and he’s always wanted to name his son that. I, however, was not about it and we ended up naming our son Nolan. When our son was like 9/10 months old I got a random follower request from a female, showed my husband and he said that’s his ex. But when I went to click on her name it disappeared, almost like she didn’t mean to follow me and when she realized she did she tried to take it back 😂 so of course I find her eventually and turns out she’s married, pregnant with a boy...that she’s naming Logan. 😂 It’s just funny because he claims when they were engaged they talked about naming their first kid Logan, and when they broke up she stuck with it lol
