[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question for those of you who chose family names for your DC.  Would you have done the same thing if people in your family all had awful names, or did you just happen to get lucky that your family members had great monikers?

It feels to me like there's often this subtle (or sometimes not so subtle) air of superiority among those who pick family names for their kids--like parents who (gasp!) choose names they just happen to like are somehow beneath everyone else.

If you're lucky enough that grandma had a beautiful and (surprise!) suddenly trendy name, congratulations, but please don't look down on me for not naming my kid Bernice or Aloysius.

It was the 'person' not really the name that was the motivating factor for us.  We are lucky to have great familly members who were fantastic people that we wanted to name our children after.  I am Irish and Anglo background so the names are very traditional (benign) as well.  I'd like to think we'd still use the names to honor them if they weren't as nice...but maybe it would be a middle name instead:).[/quote]
