[Opinions] Re: ditto (m)
Every human being is flawed. If I had a son tomorrow, his middle name would be Michael, despite the fact that my dad has done some cowardly, messed up things. There is "bad" in him, but that's part of what makes him beautiful. The whole package, so to speak.

I think I just have issues with honoring my dad. I don't mind honoring my father-in-law, my mother-in-law, my brother or even my mother (and she was NOT that great of a mom when I was younger) but I do have problems with my dad. Kinda of odd. Thankfully, though, it's unlikely that we'll have more than one child and we've already have the names set in stone - Judith Cecilia and Thomas Alan or Michael Alan. (Depends on whether or not someone uses Thomas or Michael first, highly likely.)

Nothing wrong with that. Like you said, this has become quite an interesting thread, and it's giving people something to think about in terms of honoring and family connection.
