In our family, all boys are named after their grandfathers, but the daughter-in-law does not agree to continue the tradition.

“My son recently informed me that he would become a father. I was waiting for the gender of the baby to be known, of course I wanted a grandson. After all, the boy will prolong our family, which is very important. I was happy when I found out I was going to have a grandson. Now the question of what name to call the boy, even did not stand, says Ksenia Stepanovna.

On this basis, Ksenia Stepanovna spoiled her relationship with her daughter-in-law Lyudmila. The mother-in-law never doubted that heirs should be named after grandparents, this idea she tried to impose on her son and daughter-in-law.



Peels What is the name of the boy "We have a friendly relationship with Lyudmila". When his son married, Lyudmila moved to live in our house. Sometimes we argued, but we didn't hold a grudge against each other. When Luda got pregnant, I was truly happy, because my son dreamed of an heir.

As soon as he found out the sex of the baby, he immediately shared the good news with me. Now he can name his son after his father. In our family, boys were always named after their grandparents, a tradition. But our choice came as a surprise to Luda.



Peels She made a scandal and said that her baby will call what she wants, and will not take into account our opinion. She said that if I wanted to name my baby after my grandfather, I would have to give birth myself. The common denominator did not come peacefully.



I tried to calmly discuss this moment with Lyudmila. Nikita supported me. But as soon as I started talking, Luda just left the room and didn't want to hear anything. The last time she said that her mother would pick her up from the hospital, and we might not even show up on the doorstep.

I don’t understand why Luda is so selfish. She will give birth to my son, and he has the right to choose the name of the baby. No one listened to me, and we didn't talk until the birth. A few months later, when Lyuda was already on the rescue, Nikita called me.



He said that he would choose a name for the child that his wife liked, and that they would decide their own family matters. I didn't even know how to answer that. Like I mean nothing to them. They chose a different name, and I got cocky when I tried to talk to them again. Now I don't even know how to communicate with them. My own son doesn't give me anything. I put all my strength and resources into my child to make him a decent person. And in the end I get that kind of gratitude.”



Although naming children after grandparents is a tradition that many adhere to, it is a bad omen. It is believed that when parents call a baby after deceased relatives, mom and dad condemn the child to the same fate as this person. For the same reason, children should not be named after martyrs. Only the names of ancestors who said goodbye to life in war add to the infant unlived years of a relative.





To name a child after someone is to take away their individuality. A mother is the only person who has the right to choose the name of the child she gave birth to. If mom and dad agree, parents can come up with a name together. Do not forget that each name carries a certain fateful meaning for a person, endows him with certain traits of character. Grandma is also a family member. Only the choice of a name for a child, as well as his well-being, is primarily the responsibility of the parents. You have to respect other people’s opinions, especially if they are your children.
