"NTA I am named after my grandmother who passed away a few months before I was born. The name is very old-fashioned and I have only met one other person my age with the same name. No prefab bracelets, keychains or coffee mugs for me! I've always been compared to this grandmother and the name has been a heavy weight my whole life. Setting it as a middle name is a much better option IMO. Take this advice from someone who has lived this their entire life, DO NOT GIVE IN! Your child will thank you." - A name that carries history and burdens 👶
