Names arent just letters on paper.
They carry all of our hopes and dreams for the family we want to build.
This can be even more true for couples struggling with infertility.
As Sandel points out, sometimes taking a name someone else wanted can be purely coincidental.
For example, two family members might both want to name their child after their grandmother.
I think its always worth considering whether your children can share a name, says Sandel.
Could Eleanors granddaughters go by Ellie and Nora?
In general, my rule is this:relationshipsmatter more than names, Sandel says.
Intentionally taking the name is a whole other level of ouch.
Alternatively, if youre open to considering someone elses feelings, its a good idea to ask.
Sandels heart breaks for the OP on Reddit.
Its about implying that Ill never be aparent, and therefore my feelings and preferences dont matter.
