Help[Opinions] Re: Naming a child after a death
in reply to a message by Obetsy
I think this is mainly a thing of the past, when babies wwere more likely to die at or soon after birth and were considered fairly expendable. Easy come, easy go.
I would never use the dead baby's name again. I mean, for one thing, if you officially named it before it died it's on a birth and death certificate.
Second of all, it's as if the new baby is considered nothing more than a replacement. Which is sick.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
