If you had to name your child after a family member, who would you choose?

George for a boy, after an uncle Patricia for a girl, after an aunt

My sister Angel. I have always loved her name!

I gave my children a first name that no-one else in the family has. That is THEIR name and not someone else's. Then a family name as second name. One has my husband's name (also his maternal grandfather's name) and the other has (co-incidentally) my maternal grandfather's name.

Ana if it's a girl, Malaquias if it's a boy (Malachi in English) The first name has been on my mother's family for generations and the second appears several times in my husband's family (it's very unusual)

my mothers maiden name is McCasland and i think that would make a really cute girls name. plus the name cant be carried on because there are no more boys after my cousin lance dies (he has 3 girls)

My Daughter Peyton Geneva was named after an aunt on my wifes side" Peyton" and both our grandmothers middle names were "Geneva"

If I had to I would choose my father's legal name which is Madison, but everyone has always called him Sonny.

michael, mika is my dead sister :(

My son is named after his father. Tell you the truth, much as I love them, no other male names in my family appeal to me in terms of naming my kid after them. I guess I'd have to invent some combination..which would then give him one of those "unusually weird" names. Nope..that would be too cruel to the kid. Well, I guess after my dad then. I loved him a lot. He passed away before my son was born..somehow that would seem the right thing to do! :)
