You might change your mind anyway by the time comes babe. The girls name I had all ready had DS been a girl, I had planned to use next time (assuming we have a girl), but now two years on, the name (Zara Evelyn) just doesn't hold the same appeal to me (even though it has special meaning as Zara is the middle name of DS's godmother, and the Evelyn was DH's favourite (but deceased) Auntys name
However if the name is still special to you when the time comes, I say use it, you've talk to your Nan about it and have her blessing, and I think your grandfather would be chuffed. While I wouldn't particularly want any poor child to have the name Naomi (everyone spells it wrong), I'd burst with pride if someone named their child for me...
Speaking of which, Have you thought of a girls name should you have DD#2?
You've all given me more to think about! With each reply, I've thought, oh yeah, great point there! I think I'm leaning towards having the middle name as my grandfather's name and the first name something else.
Nay - No idea on a girl's name either. Oh it's going to be a challenge when the time comes! I had DD's name and the boy's name picked and set in cement for, oh I dunno, maybe 8 years or so! Takes me a long time to get settled on one, to say the least!
I changed my name a few years back so I had my great-grandmother's middle name as my middle name. I have always loved the name and I suddenly realised I may not ever have a daughter to give it to, and a granddaughter... well, she's not mine to name really... so changed my name.
My grandma was happy about it, but I then found out great-grandma hated her middle name LOL. I still love it. (Grandma hates her name too, but much as I love Grandma I wouldn't use the name for one of my children, I think she decided to nip that thought in the bud if it was there though!)
