I personally could not name my child the same name as its father. I would like my son to have his own name. In saying that our first son will be named Mason, which is my DH's middle name, although I have always loved the name.

The name Michael runs in my family, my Dad, Brother and Nephew are all Michaels but my Dad is known as Mick, Brother as Michael and Nephew as Mikey so they all have their 'own' name. Maybe this is why I don't feel the need to do it, as the rest of my family has .

I like the name Baden, I think it is nice, although I would be more inclined to spell the same as Dads name.
