| I always wanted to name a daughter a particular name. My husband vetoed it because it was his ex's name. He agreed that it was a great name, but he said, "she'd definitely imagine that our daughter's name was about her." At the time, I disagreed that anyone would see it that way, but now I see that he might have been right. |

| Really not a big deal. My son shares the name of the boy to whom I lost my virginity. If this guy heard, he may be flattered or think it’s weird…but I could care less. He was so inconsequential to me that I don’t even think of him when I hear the name. It’s the same name as one of my best friends from high school and that is always who I think about when I hear the name. It’s always been one of my favorite names. |

| Happened to me, too. I thought it was odd but it does not mean anything. |

Since the name is not very common then yes it IS weird.
Hope his wife/GF is cool with it…… |

Ummm bc OP cares about what someone from college is naming their child .. Along w her circle. Who cares. It’s just a name. |

OP: Did you forget to copyright your name ?!!! Plus, I can do better than you. My longtime high school gf named her daughter after my dog. I felt honored. Warmed my heart. |

Do you people really keep in touch with what long ago exes have done? I just about never think of them. |

| How uncommon are we talking? Something super rare, like the name Eudoxie (it's pronounced you-DOX-ee-uh ). Ot somethign uncommon but not unheard of, like Elise. |

+1 Who does that? Did OP ask for news about her ex? One messy friend running to tell this "news", I'd buy. But a whole group? OP, you need better friends. Ideally people who aren't gossipy mutuals with your ex. |

It's weird. My dad did same, and my mom knew the name was his ex girlfriend's name. There were a couple of pictures of the girlfriend in our house growing up. My name is very pretty, but nope. It's weird. |

It’s weird, it’s a deliberate choice, good money says his wife has no clue. Posters here are typically 45+ — of course it’s off that OP’s ex used her name, they are young and relatively recent exes.
Don’t discuss further, but you’re correct, OP. |
