[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Naming a child after yourself has always felt so narcissistic to me. Naming it the exact same name as a relative feels like denying the child a chance to be their own person. I think middle names honoring a favorite relative or valued person are a nice compromise, but I can't imagine not giving them at least part of a name that is all their own.[/quote] That’s your perspective, but I grew up in a family where names were recycled and personally honor three female relatives with my names. I never felt like I wasn’t my own person or that I was expected to be like those women in personality or accomplishments. This has been going on in my family for generations and it’s much stranger to us to have a name not previously used by anyone else. One of my kids has a singleton name and she mentions this periodically. [/quote]
