Hey guys, it’s me, again. Before I actually start this post I wanna ask if I post too much? (Had an accout for less than 5 months with 129 posts.) I post all the time and it really just cause I like to, I like talking about baby names but at the same time I spam these forums… and I don’t even have a baby, or pregnant. (I’m just 15)
Anyway, I was wondering if it’s okay to have names similar to family members when you don’t even feel like honoring them. I have 2 sisters named [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] & [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] but I thought the names [name_u]Ashton[/name_u] & [name_m]Lance[/name_m] could be cute for twin boys. I like both names but I can’t get over how much it looks & sounds like my sisters. Thoughts, and do y’all like those names together?
I dont think you can post too much, I’m pretty sure all of us name nerds are happy to have more posts to reply too!
I think theyre too similar when use together, but if you used [name_u]Ashton[/name_u] with another name or [name_m]Lance[/name_m] with another name for your twins then it would be fine
My personal favorite is [name_m]Lance[/name_m] by the way, and it doesnt sound as much like one of your sisters’ names as [name_u]Ashton[/name_u] does
Of course you dont post too much. The only thing I have issue with is people making up fake babies.
I don’t think those names are too close to family names.
I don’t think you post too much. I’m on here a lot and of course I’ve noticed a lot of posts by you but I don’t think it’s excessive at all. I think it’s really considerate of you to ask though!
I actually have this same exact problem. I have a cousin named [name_u]Ashley[/name_u], who I can’t stand, but I really like the name [name_u]Ashton[/name_u]. She sometimes goes by [name_u]Ash[/name_u], and I love that nickname for [name_u]Ashton[/name_u] but I think it would just kill me to know that people might think the names are related somehow because I would never want to honor her in a name. I think if you get along with your sister it wouldn’t be too awful though. [name_m]Lance[/name_m] isn’t my personal taste, but I think [name_u]Ashton[/name_u] and [name_m]Lance[/name_m] do sound good together!
I do not think you post too much. But I have over 10,000 posts, been here a few years.
I would not automatically think you were honoring an [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] and [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] by using [name_u]Ashton[/name_u] and [name_m]Lance[/name_m]. I do not think [name_m]Lance[/name_m] is close to [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] and [name_u]Ash[/name_u] names are popular.
