tired of hearing, "a junior"

I'm having a little girl!! Baby number 3 for us! My husbands grandmother is named Naomi and her daughter, his aunt is also Naomi. Guess what? He found a a Naomi to marry, me!!!! I have always loved my name and seeing it as a family name on his side we decided our baby girls name will be Naomi as well. You have nooo idea how many people say, "like Naomi Jr"? No she won't be a Jr different middle name then me and not my maiden name. Why is it okay for men to name children after them but not women!!!!????

I love the name. Maybe add a twist or do something similar. My friend Melania is naming her daughter Maleaha. :)

Idk my hubby wants our son (if we ever have one ) to be a junior. I told him no. I like my kids to have there own name but its probably because I have a name that I don't like so I don't want to share it with my child.

It's a nice name. I personally would not name any child a "Jr". My aunt is "Jr" to my grandma she goes by nickname and my MIL is "Jr" to her mom and also goes by nickname. Just don't see the point!
