I hear your agony...

My DH, his dad and his grandfather all had/have the middle name Edward. Nothing awful, infact I don't even mind it - however I HATE my FIL. I do not belive in handing names down and I never intended that any of my kids would have middle names.
Darcy doesn't (nor do I), and now we are expecting a boy.
If I was going to name my baby after anyone, it would be after someone I thought was a great man, like my dad or my husband. My Dad is dead against anyone passing down his names as he believes all children should be given their own identity not someone elses, so that's out. I would prefer to use Cam's first name instead, but he feels like it's letting down the 'tradition'.
I'm hoping I win....no middle name...and I will not back down, but maybe I'll wait until after he's here.....
