Re: So are y'all offended b/c she's wrong or b/c she's right?
in reply to a message by Lily8
By stating that they named a girl "Charles" indicates that it is in the first name position. I think that the fact that it is not in the first name spot indicates that its conclusion was not to put a boy's name on a girl but to honour. This is further highlighted by the clearly feminine first name.In my opinion I reserve the middle name for honouring purposes, and therefore, I love to see whatever name it may be there to serve this purpose.If it means something to their family I think it is wonderful, and I believe that the child will enjoy knowing that they were named after someone that meant so much to their parents.A also prefer to see the orginal names used when honouring.
