Dilemma

My partner broke up with me 2 weeks ago and I’m now 16 weeks pregnant. I’m thinking of names naturally, but the family tradition on his side is that the first born boy is named after the father. It’s been the same for generations. He’s not exactly been kind to me. I’ve kept the doors open during my pregnancy which he is closing himself (eg. Attending scans). If it’s a boy do I name him essentially the same name as my ex? If we were together I would honour the tradition, plus he has a nice name x

I personally wouldn't. I'd be giving baby my surname too....

I agree with Gina.

I wouldn't name baby after him.

Absolutely not. Name your baby whatever YOU want.

He dumped you? Why would you honour his family tradition? He doesn’t want to be a family 🤷🏻‍♀️ Your surname too 100%

Absolutely NOT

If he's not involved don't give him his first or last name, would u want your baby to be like him? People don't change,he's shown you who he is ❤️

Nope! You do you choose the name you’ve always wanted! Xxx

If it was me- absolutely not. And I’d give the baby only my last name too

NO WAY! Especially if he's not even trying to participate with the pregnancy, not going to any appt or anything. That's just trash, you don't need to name baby for his families tradition. Think about this, what if you do decide to do that and when you have baby he up and dissappears for good? You said he's already not really involved would you really want your son to be named after a piece of shit dad like that?

Nope one of my friends growing up was named after his father who wasn’t in his life he hated that he carried his name and changed it

If you’re not together anymore then his family’s tradition doesn’t truly apply. Name him what you wish.
