[Opinions] Re: Dilemma (very long)
in reply to a message by Jaime
I like using family names too but I wouldnt use any name I didnt like.
Remember that when you have children you wont be the only person deciding on the names your partner might want some of his family names honoured too. :)
Personally I wouldnt worry about it there are only so many family names you can use unless you have twelve children or give each child seven names :)
You can use the opposite gender of a family name - example call a son Louis to honour Louise
Amina means truthful - look for other names with the same or similar meaning Alethia Verity or go for something similar in look say Amy or Mina
Marcia - look at its related names maybe you would like one of them Mark / Marc Marcus Marcela Marcie
Valerie - varients Valerian or look for names with a similar meaning
Joyce - Josse Jocosa or use part of the name Joy
Gladys -maybe use Claudia as Gladys has in the past been used as a welsh form of Claudia
Louise (my mother's mn) Louisa or maybe the male form Louis or Lewis
Odessa (my mother's mn) maybe a related name UlyssaAs a middle name it would be okay to use Riles

My boyfriend's mother's name is Joy, but he's not close with her at all. We've decided that our son can be named after my bf's father, David. Thanks."No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
