[quote=Anonymous]Perhaps she is worried about hurt feelings if someone thinks the baby is named after you? Both of my kids share names with uncles of mine but are not named after those uncles. DH and I just happen to have the same extremely traditional taste in names as my grandmother and grandfather (we had to nix a potential name for DC3 because it was going to be too weird if I had three kids with the same names as my mom’s brothers). Anyway...I didn’t want my ILs to think the kids were being specifically named after relatives on my side of the family and then feel left out if subsequent kids were not named for people on their side. Or for that matter, I didn’t want my Dad’s feelings to be hurt thinking I named my sons after his BIL instead of him. So I did, in fact, make a point of telling some people that they were not named after my uncles (not on Facebook but it also didn’t come up on Facebook).  Is it possible there is some other awkwardness she is trying to avoid, like her mom demanding to know why she is naming the baby after you or something?[/quote]
