[Opinions] Re: Donald
in reply to a message by Norah Namenerd
Like almost everyone else who has answered, I'd use Donald. Of course. I agree with everyone who said that honoring means using the same name and if you don't, you're only honoring your own ego.
I used Bruce (my dad's name, given by my grandmother after no one that I know of, probably because she thought it was fashionable) as my son's middle name even though I don't like it. I still don't like it. But I'm proud that he's named after my dad, who deserves to be remembered.
I'd say to my cousin, well, if you were a man would you rather have the name of both of your grandfathers as your middle name, or be called Brydon because your mom just didn't care for Donald?
