Should A 2nd Son be Named After the Father if the First Son Was Given No Special Name?

January 24th, 2012 | by admin |

The 1st son is 2 1/2 and from a previous marriage. We are the grandparents and feel this could have a negative effect on our grandson in regards to his importance, especially since our son has very little contact with him already.

Unfortunately, you are correct, but there isn’t anything that you can do. If your son wants to name his second son after him, then he already loves his second son more. Its wrong, but its your son’s choice. He’s the father of the other boy; therefore, he has to make the decision of whether he wants to take responsibility and be a good father for him or not. You cant make him. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t talk to him about it; I’m just saying that its his choice.

    It is a personal choice of the parents.

    My grandfather was named Edward, and his THIRD son was named after him. It didn’t seem to bother my dad (the second son) or my other uncle (The firstborn son). As long as both children are shown love, does it really make a difference?
