the name florence for a boy?
please read my question and hear me out before replying. i don't want rude comments.

my grandfather's name was florence and he meant so much to me. not pronounced in the girly way, but pronounce flur-ence... like mcflurry, i guess. i've known two other men named florence, though they were quite old.

would it be completely wrong to give this name to a son of mine in the future? i know i could always use it as a middle name, but i really would like to honour my grandfather. 

thanks for any input- i'm really conflicted on this.
i dont see anything wrong with it, its a great way to honor someone that meant a great deal to you. people will pronounce it the girl way though, until he corrects them. the only way i can think of changing that is to spell it differently, but then that defeats the purpose. maybe you can have it as a middle name? but personally, i dont think it would be bad to name him that =)

good luck!
I recently found out that my grandpa did not treat my grandma very kindly. He died about 18 years ago and my grandma died about 7 years ago. Recently I was talking to my dad (who knew about how his dad treated his mom) and found out that how he always put her down and insulted her and my aunt. I guess he wanted a son but was not too pleased when their first child was a daughter and their second child who was a boy was stillborn. I guess he blamed my grandma for that as well. He controlled their money and I guess was just mentally abusive. I remember him being grouchy most of the time but I also remember my grandma being a little grouchy too so I just assumed that’s how they were. I was about 13 when he died. My dad did tell me he was never physically abusive but the whole thing still bothers me. I am told that I take after my other grandpa who would bend over backwards to help people but he died before I was born. i'm nice and polite like i am with anyone, but with her i'm a tad flirty to see how she responds, gradually getting more and more flirty to see what she finds acceptable. for example the other day i asked her if she was a goddess, what she would be the goddess of. when she said she hadn't thought of it i spontaneously said, or rather had thought it would be a clever thing to say two days in advanced, that she would probably be the goddess of wisdom and beauty. when i get more confident in myself, i'll send her one of these forms. A. If you are going to marry your fiancé, you will have to tolerate his children and ex-wife. It is unfair and unrealistic to ask him to cut ties with his children no matter how dysfunctional they or his ex-wife may be. He is their father and will likely have some involvement with them for the rest of his life.

You have a decision to make. If you decide to marry him, then accept that his family will be part of your life. If you don’t wish to be involved with his family, then strongly reconsider your decision to get married.

Every decision has consequences. Objectivity and clarity are of paramount importance when making major life decisions. It might be helpful to discuss this decision with a therapist. A therapist could assist you in thinking through what your life would be like with or without him and by extension with or without his family. Please take care.

Fiancé Kid Issues When He Doesn’t See Kids a malignancy of the tongue is know as tongue cancer. there are several possible types of tongue cnacer based on the cells that they are derived from. see more... i breastfed all 3 of my sons, but the longest i nursed before weaning was just shy of when he was 20months old. that same boy is now 4.5 and i couldn’t imagine still nursing him at that age.... he’s a grown child by this point and speaks in full sentences and comprehends so much. the fact her daughter calls it “milky time” and is almost in kindergarten and the mom loves it is odd to me as well & a bit much to me, as this isn’t allowing her daughter to fully grow if she’s keeping her in this infantile stage. 🤷🏻‍♀️ nursing that long is obviously her choice, but i’m with you on this one. most likely, with surprise. "who is this," i would think, "and why are they angry at me?". if nothing comes to mind, i'd bellow my name and title back at them, and ask who they were to demand that information of me. i'm not a teacher but i agree with what one of the male posters said. it's not whether he'll be flattered or take it the wrong way, it's whether someone else might take it the wrong way and think y'all have an inappropriate relationship. even if no one else overhears, he's still in an awkward position, because telling you a simple thank you might be giving you encouragement to flirt more (not saying you are actually like this), and not saying thank you might make you mad enough to try to get him into trouble (again, not saying you are actually like this). i would just leave it alone. do you have concerns ( which previous generations more commonly had ) about whether a dad ought to be rough and toughen the lad up versus being nurturing and pleasant ? <br><br>not that long back the latter was the norm - it didn&#39;t do growing boys any good, and often left them confused, and experiencing difficulties in demonstrating the gentleness that is so much a part of manliness, which doesn&#39;t solely consist of being rough and tough. <br><br>how did your own father relate to you ? often, in ways we don&#39;t altogether realize, the model of how to be fatherly is one we absorb from what we see and experience. i hear you and feel so sorry for you that it's not working out as you want... i hear you actually you're like a dear friend of mine...but i can't help but point out a few points. seriously, listen up i'm not trying to judge you or anything.. belive me. but you know it's so uncool of you to say that you've been used, since you both agreed to have sex, come on.. we're grown ups not underage girls.. how the heck the 'being used' part come from?(actually that kind of attitude might have freaked him out i think..) and also i don't really see what he has done wrong so far if it was clear you two were just friends with benefits. i mean seriously, he's not your boyfriend, and you're acting like as if he is.. but you know.. i completely understand that you're having hard time with your ex. you liked him so sweet and listened to you.. trying to understand what you're going throw.. your bf's hurting you, it's because i see girls who suffer from bad relationship and honestly? if he's no good for you and he's hurting you and if another guy help you get out of that deep hell, go for it(im selfish i know, sorry). but you aren't happy, because you found a wrong guy(not that he's wrong, it's just he is not a guy who can give you what you need and want) that made it clear that it was just sex, and you two are kinda friends(well you claim) which is fine. but you want him to be there for you, and be only with you no other girls. don't you see? why he's leaving you?how to change his mind.. honestly? after all these? that you freaked him out and you broke the rule of friends with benefits which is called 'feelings' with it's best friend 'jealousy', you were cheating on your boyfriend, and you said all your relationship with other guy? i don't see any possibilities(girls! don't you think it's a little bit unfair that to say i wanna be who i am , asking guys to be some kind of knights? ... )i hope you find another new sencere sweet boyfriend, i really do. but right now.. i really hate to say it but you and him? i don't think it's gonna happen. i'm so sorry... i think i haven't been any helpful but all mean words.. but i have dear friend who is going throw what you're going through...(at least it seems like to me..). and i really really hope you the best... really... a big hug.. find a guy who can give you want you want.. who can love you.. really..you be the dreamy girl... not despressed lonely girl... then right guy will come out..! well i think it would be a little rude to just come along and not offer something... if you offer and he doesn't take it sure... but if it would make his life easier, the question begs to ask.. why don't you want to make his life easier?
