My brother is being an ass about my baby name...
I am 26 weeks pregnant with a boy...
So, i have had the name Michael picked out for my son's name ever since I was 12 years old. It was my grandfather's name and we were very close, he passed away when I was 12 and i have said ever since I would name my first born son after him. Well, it just so happens i also married a man named Michael.....
My brother's name is also Michael.
My brother has a tiny brain and is confused easily. He feels that having three Michaels around will be confusing. Even though my husband is known as Mike and only Mike to my family, my brother is known and Michael, and only Michael to my family. And i'm sure our son will have his own nick name as well. I think my brother is just being selfish and not wanting to share his name. We live almost 4,000 km away from him so i think for how often we will be in the same place he can deal with it. It won't be any more confusing than there being three moms (my mother, my sister in law, and me) or three dads (my dad, my brother, my husband). I think he should be honoured that my son will be named after him... he thinks I should pick a different name.
We already have a full name picked out and aren't willing to rearrange it because the middle names we picked we don't like as first names. And the middle names are after people, who know the baby is going to be named after them and are excited about it. We also already have personalized stuff with his name on it already.
Am i being ridiculous or is he being selfish?
