But I would never use it in a million years.

One of my favorite boy names is also the name of a long-time ex. We are on friendly terms, so I'm sure it would be insanely awkward if any of my future children shared his name.

I worried that the ex (who I'm still friends with) would be uncomfortable or think it was because of him so we steered clear!

My ex's name is DH's grandfathers name. I know he'd like it to be considered but I can't get past it. ETA: it ended so badly that even if I could use it, I know mom would be less than happy.

I don't think DH would mind but I still don't know if I'd use it. Luckily, it doesn't go well with our last name anyway. mrbee on "Would you ever give your LO a name that one of your exes had?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-give-your-lo-a-name-that-one-of-your-exes-had#post-843624 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 20:40:09 +0000 mrbee 843624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I would not.. unless it was a family name on my SO's side. Then maybe I'd consider it. Probably not though. Would you ever give your LO a name that one of your exes had?
