I was named after my grandfather who I never met because he died when my mother was 14. To everyone's surprise, as I got older I not only resembled him, I was told everything about me was just like him. How I spoke, walked, stood, my character. Everything was him. Because of that I always felt a closeness to this man I've never met, but I am so honored to have him name.
I named my first son after my Dad, well his middle name....He was a step-father but he was MY DADDY, and he lived long enough to know how much I truly love him....He passed away exactly one month after his first grandson was born, and I miss him still, 30 years later🥹
I'm a snivling mess and only with these families the best, because I don't know any of these people and am not really sure why I'm crying as hard as I am, but I am
We did a similar thing too. Our son is named after 9 people in the family. My husband's dad and grandad, and on my side, my two uncles, my great grandad, both of my great great grandads, my great uncle and my grandad.
@@helenclaudiadavidson1219Not to be rude, but do a lot a people in you family share names, or does your son’s name read like a boy’s club invitation list? Edit: Because that’s a lot of people to be involved in a name.
It was a high honor when my nephew was named after me. And he’s my best little buddy. There’s no feeling like knowing you mean so much to someone that they give your name to the most precious thing.
I'm not crying you're crying. How awesome is that. My twin sons are named after my dad and their other grampa. Middle names of course. And my grandson's middle name is after my dad's middle name too. My dad is so loved we wanted to keep him around for years to come. ❤
I wasn't named after anyone, but I had men that knew my dad and called me by his name after he had passed away, I Immediately started crying, the man said you look just like your dad!! It was three generations because my Dad looks just like his Dad as well!! I love these videos!!
My deceased son (stillborn) was named John Edward C. (Last name is protected due to social media). His first name was named after his dad's middle name & the 2nd name was named after my dad's middle name. My dad(rip) passed away last year. And my deceased son would've be 8 years old this year. Rest in peace, my sweet lil angel baby boy.
One of the greatest honors a child can pay to his/her parent is to name their child after them. It’s something that must be overwhelming for some parents because it shows how their children view them
the stepparents reactions were one of the sweetest. they also need recognition. this just goes to show if you treat a child like your own, they'll cherish the bond forever.
I named my son after my great granddad who passed away in 2006. I thought it was a great way to honour him. And my nana was thrilled and crying at the same time.
The step mom one is probably the highest honor, I mean, she’s not even blood… she had to be the greatest step mom ever in history. Also, my wife named our middle daughter after me… I think I’m out of luck for grandkids getting my name lol… they’re all 3 daddy’s girls too
I personally don’t like passed on names, however I do understand how parents of a new born want to name their child after a loved one which is a wholesome thing, very beautiful video. 😊
We named our first son after my oldest brother who was more of dad to me than my father. He didn't seem to care. Our 2nd son was named Edward after her dad and he swelled with pride. Still didn't like me but respected the gesture.
I’m with you on this. My son and daughter in law cant have children. They’ve struggled. I lost my daughter in 1999, I never thought I wouldn’t be a grandmother but here I am. No babies
@rebeccabamford Sad isn't it? My daughter has had 2 rounds of ivf, £20,000. She's 41 next birthday, and, I think she's now feeling that's definitely it. My other daughter is 40 next birthday and hasn't even got a partner. Their Dad died suddenly 15 years ago and a baby would have helped so much 😓
@So Sad. It seems like everyone has has babies. Even ones that don’t want or deserve them. But not my wonderful son and daughter in law. Especially after my daughter died in 1999 at age 9, I think I really looked forward to a time where I’d have another baby to cuddle. But such is life. We don’t know the reasons why anything happens just this definitely leaves an ache in my heart. Especially with the loss of your husband, a baby would have been a true light in your life. I am sorry for both of us.
My son is named after his dad and his grandpa! 3 generations! My father inlaw was over the moon! When our nephews said u don't have to name him that, My father inlaw said yes they do lol! It was the sweetest thing!
I have a cousin born the following year named after me, my uncle Jack's son Gregory, I feel honored but had not made an impact at one year old so I thought!! His Dad was my Mom's brother and was a believer, so I will see him again in heaven!!!
I gave my daughter the same middle name as my mom. My mom’s health was declining really badly by the time I gave birth. She was in a nursing home and my dad gave her the news and her eyes lit up and she was so happy. She held my baby close until she couldn’t anymore
@@TehBuggy it really is so insincere. its only done because you cant just post these people's stuff and claim it as your own. you wanna make money off their events, cant even give everyone the decency of a real person speaking.
The year after I was born two of my aunts were pregnant. It was decided that whichever one had a baby boy first would name him Nathaniel, after my grandfather. One of aunts had a boy born on September 3rd and the other aunt had a boy on September 18th. My late grandfather’s birthday was September 7th. Not only was my cousin named after our grandfather but, at times he acts like him too.
Wie schön, dass sich alle in diesem Film so freuen! Ich wäre entsetzt gewesen, wenn meine Enkelin meinen Vornamen hätte. Welch ein Glück für uns alle, dass das Kind einen wunderschönen Namen trägt, der es einmalig und ganz besonders macht!
32 years old and not even close to having a family… I’m so freaking sorry mom. I am still trying to figure myself out and I don’t feel right bringing another life into this world until I get myself sorted out and that’s probably not going to happen until well past child bearing age I’m sooo sorry mom, these vids are making me cry hard
I was named after my grandfather he's no longer with me but I have his name and that's something I can carry with me for the rest of my life I used to hate my name but now I have a deep respect for it and then away I get to carry the torch Linda carry on his name and his legacy
Me and my wife just had my son 3 months ago he’s named after my dad sadly my dad passed away a year before we got pregnant with him I cry from time to time knowing how much his grandpa would’ve loved him we love you dad 🙏🏼
I was not able to have children. But if I could have had children, I wanted to have a daughter and name her after my beloved maternal grandmother. The same grandmother that I look exactly like , Grandma Dorothy
We named our son after my dad. We called my Dad Big T and our son Little T. Now Little T is 5 inches taller than my Dad and is mountain size compared to my dad. His first name is my husband's name but we used his middle name. My father in law hated his name and begged me to not use his name. So I got a solid white cat that matched his hair and name my cat Cecil. He still got mad, but he liked my cat.
I have nobody to pass down my story. When I died, my story would be gone quickly as no one would be talking about me. This is a life of being single and no kids :p
My second oldest son has his grandpa name and was born on the same date as his grandma on my wifes side and my youngest boy carries my grandma's middle name
My son is the only boy in the family since 1948. Named after my dad. 😊
Holy smokes that’s a lot of girls.
Your family is gonna be so big! 😳
Wowza amazing history. Wow the Prince is here
😮
My dad is from 1948 and I’m 38

❤❤❤
My stepdad "Big Dad" passed recently this year. If I could have more children I would absolutely name a boy David for a girl Davy.
I’m crying and I’m not even a member of any of the families ❤
I'm a snivling mess and only with these families the best, because I don't know any of these people and am not really sure why I'm crying as hard as I am, but I am
Right 🥹❤️🫶🏽
GIIIIRRRRRLLLL
Me too!
Sniffff me tooo
Naming your kid after your step father... is the greatest sign of respect❤
LoL... John Connor ... Skynet? Anyone?
My thoughts exactly 😂
I'll be back. 😂
T1000

Judgement Day
I recently named my son after my mentor. He is very stoic and he cried...caught me off guard.
He caught YOU off guard?!? 😅
@garywhitt98 got to love youtube
I hope everyone gets this, naming a child after a parent tells me the parents raised their children correctly, they all deserve the Honor!!!
4:25 grandpa swelled up with pride looking at his grandson 😁
THERE IS NO BIGGER HONOR THAN A GRANDSON NAMED AFTER YOU ! 😥🙏
I gave my son my dad’s name. He is a 2 war veteran. It’s the first time I saw him crying like a baby

These grandparents look so good!
I would have given anything to see my father’s reaction naming our first son after him. I hope he’s smiling from heaven ❤
Imagine being a grandfather and knowing you'll have to defend your grandson from the Terminator. LOL 1:18
I thinking the same thing!
Wonderful to see all these men crying with pure emotion, joy and love. ❤️
It was a high honor when my nephew was named after me. And he’s my best little buddy. There’s no feeling like knowing you mean so much to someone that they give your name to the most precious thing.
I am expecting my first grandbaby, a boy. He will be named after my dad who passed in 2017. He might even be born on my dad's birthday 😊❤
We need an update when the little dude gets here. Was he born on your dad's birthday?
I'm not crying you're crying. How awesome is that. My twin sons are named after my dad and their other grampa. Middle names of course. And my grandson's middle name is after my dad's middle name too. My dad is so loved we wanted to keep him around for years to come. ❤

I can't wait to be old. Old people are the best. We need them more than they'll ever know

The first one killed me. I lost my grandma years ago I miss her everyday.
Thats so wonderful! Greetings from Stuttgart, Germany! 😊🎉😂❤
Hello!!
Trust me, thats how you know you did good
Gramps at 4:28 crossed his legs like, “Welp, sounds like we have some work to do Bill.”
I was named after my grandfather 😢 may he rest in peace.
I named my son after my great granddad who passed away in 2006. I thought it was a great way to honour him. And my nana was thrilled and crying at the same time.
I think for women it takes on a monumental meaning. It’s wonderful with the men as well. Such beautiful moments captured.
It’s so amazing when you find out, you have a name sake. My only granddaughter was given my first name as her middle name. ❤❤
