A Mother’s Fight to Honor Her Father’s Legacy

In a heart-wrenching battle over a baby’s name, one mother-to-be is standing her ground. She wants to name her son after her late father, a man who was her world, her best friend. But her partner and his family have other ideas. They want a ‘modern’ name or a junior, dismissing the name Brian as ‘outdated’. But for this mother, it’s more than just a name.
