    Im not sure if its disrespectful, but I do think it needs to be her decision. If she feels bad about it then maybe its not the right time for her.
    I dont really like my middle name but I also never use it.
    Does she use the names often?

    No she doesn't use them but when they are used for official documents I can see her cringe.

    I think she she feels bad in a way as she knows he wouldn't have liked it.

    I hate my middle name, but out of respect for my parents and grandparents, I've kept them. I cringe sometimes, but *meh* it doesn't make me and people don't know it most of the time or if they do, its not something they call me ever...

    I hate my middle name: Marguerita......but would never dream of changing it. My nana was "Margaret & my great Nana was Marguerite....so my Dad chose Marguerita as "combination" of both.

    I have to admit I'm a little upset my husband and I have chosen to not continue carrying the name on in some way.
