[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, as another compromise, what about a great grandfather's name or using the grandfather's middle name? I also disagree with the sentiment that following a cultural and family tradition is anti-woman. It's not. Traditions can be meaningful to a family and create a sense of history and belonging for a child. They can also evolve over time, but I don't think it should be thrown out flippantly. [/quote] Not all traditions are anti-woman, but this one clearly is, given that it cuts the mother out of naming her own child, as well as ensuring her child can’t be named to honor anyone on her side of the family. It doesn’t get much more anti-women than that.[/quote]
