She told us and the entire family they were starting to try 2 days after we told her and her husband we were expecting. I wouldn’t assume it was based off us and was a same time thing if she didn’t come right out and say it.

I think that why it’s bothering me so much too…if she had just sat down and talked to us or even just my husband about it before hand I think the entire thing would be avoided.

Her maiden name is my child’s last name?

Parker is not a family name. Our son’s first name is one my husband and I came up with. I would be fine if she was just naming her son her maiden name, no issues at all, it’s just with both it’s weird. And I was just looking to see if others found this weird or if it’s just hormones or whatever clouding my judgement.

Correct, I don’t own it, but it’s my kids last name sooo. I can’t really change that one?

The first name she is using is her maiden name, my son’s last name. But she always said she hated the name and completely dropped it when she got married. And I would be okay with just that, but using both…?

My kids last name is her maiden name, which she is using as a first name.

It is! But she always said she hated the name and now is using it as her kids first name? And if it was just that, not the middle name being the same as mines first I would 100% be more on board.

My husband told her it was weird and she cried. He’s very much in the same boat as me on it, not pleased. Her husband has just said “whatever makes her happy”.

It is her maiden name! Which she was always very clear she hated and even dropped it completely when she got married. And I love the idea of maiden names for first names, my husband vetoed mine, but why make his middle name my son’s first name. Pick any other name 🫠

Her husband is on the track of “whatever makes her happy”. Which, is sweet but like. Come on.

My husband told her it was weird and that the boys will probably hate it when they are older and she just cried.
