Well, I'd certainly want to discuss that with my future husband. (Yes, I want to marry before getting pregnant. Yes, I'm pretty oldfashioned
)
I did have some names when I was younger, but over time, I thought those were awful names. The first name was an Italian one - the one my parents thought about naming me. And I really adore that name, I even use it as a nickname pretty often. Still, I wouldn't want to pass it over to my daughter, just because I like the name a lot.
Also, my boyfriend told me he wanted to name his first born son after his grandpa. There has been this tradition in his family that the first born son will be named after the father (who is the first born son of the grandparents, and so on). But his uncle (!) is the first born son, which is why I'm against that name. His uncle has two daughters, so the tradition is gone. Still, if my boyfriend wanted to revive this tradition, it'd be wrong nonetheless because he's the second born son....
Really, after talking to him a LOT about that stuff, I'm fully against traditional names. They only cause trouble if anyone happens to have no son. Also, I don't think you should name someone after a person you liked. My mother was named after one of my grandma's sister who happened to die when she was 13. My mother then told me that she felt as if she was just a replacement of the sister my grandma liked so much... Plus, her second name is the one of my grandma, and the third is the one of the affair (!!) of my grandpa. Which is just... argh. Just argh. Never will I name my children after ANYONE!
Long text, still no names, but I must admit I haven't decided on nice names yet. My taste changes every few years, so I'll just think of some names when I get pregnant
