Do you like to give names of your older family members?

My uncle Steven died before a year and i have a very big wish to give that name to my soon. I love my uncle a lot and i must satisfy my wish.

What do you think about this, do you like old names?

I think it's a lovely idea - be nice to explain to LO the story behind their name too.
I plan on using my gran's name or brother's name as a middle name

I think that's lovely I like it when people honour family members x

It's a great idea - it's sweet when people name their children after family members!

I think the old names are all back in fashion so go for it!

If we have a girl, we are pretty sure we will name her Olive, after my feisty Great grandma!

Yeah..you're right, very strong male name

I love old fashioned names, especially when they are from a family member. My little boy's middle name is going to be my Grandad's name, who passed away when I was 8 weeks pregnant
