HelpRe: Nobody said ANYTHING about being ashamed
in reply to a message by Caemlyn
I'm sorry, I guess I misread it. It does seem like if you're trying to hide the fact that you're honouring someone, whatever your motive, there's not a lot of point in the honouring. Just to me. And I don't know how your mother would feel since I don't know her, but I wouldn't fly into a screaming rage if my child (or someone else close to me) named their kid after someone and it wasn't me.

Having a child named after oneself is an honor bestown. No one has the right to expect it. No one has the right to be upset if it's not done. I know my mother gave my older sister her aunt's name as her middle name, and not her mother's. If my grandmother was upset about that, I guess she never said anything about it. If she had, I'm sure I would have heard about it. I agree there's no point in honoring someone if you're trying to hide the fact, whatever the reason.
