If someone you loved passed away would you name your new born after them?

I think that it is a nice thing to do, but it isn't something that I would do personally. I like to think of everyone in their own unique way and I think that naming a child after a loved one (either alive or deceased) could get confusing! You'd say their name and everyone would be wondering which "Lynn" or "Bobby" you're referring to.

I had a son 10 years after my father passed away and I named him after my father. My husbands Mom passed away about 4 years before the birth of my son and had he been a girl we would have named our baby after her instead of my father. I think it is a way of paying respect, and showing rememberance.

no there gone

Maybe using the deceased person's name as a middle name would be a good idea.

Yes I would. It is done a lot in the Jewish religion. It is such a lovely respectful thing to do.

It depends, My grandfather passed away in 1998 and I had my son in 2001, My son's middle name is my grandfather's first name. It also happens my grandfather my father had the same name (even though they were not father and son) and my father passed away last year, so not only does my son's middle stands for my grandfather but also for my father.

My kids all have a family member's name in their complete name...many of which have been handed down for many generations. I think naming a child after a relative or close friend is a common tradition..whether they are alive or passed.

No. I know in some families and in some cultures this may be traditional, but personally, I would not do it. I think the baby deserves its own identity.

Personally, I think yes, if you were a close relative. My great grandmother passed away, but it was a few years before I had my daughter. Our daughter’s middle name is my great grandmother’s first name. I think it would be a great way to honor a relative that you had a close relationship with.

yes if our baby would have been a girl i think we would have named her sfter her great grandma who reasently passed

yes i would if i didnt like there name i would then put there name as my babys middle name
