Do you like your grandchild's name? Take this short survey. £50 to be won NOW CLOSED

How do you actually access the survey? I must be v stupid!

I have two grandchildren and didn't expect to be involved in choosing their names, though we did tease and try and guess beforehand!
We chose our own children's names over 3 decades ago, and didn't ask the opinion of other family members.We didn't expect our children to ask us either. It's very personal and special and if parents wish to keep it a secret till they are ready to share, that's fine. I like both our grandchildren's names, but even if I didn't, it's not for me to say or to comment, which would be hurtful, unfair and completely wrong.

I have completed the survey. I have 26 grandchildren and have been asked my opinion on names which I have given. I don't think a child's name is anything to do with the grandparents and dislike family names. I like all my grandchildren names.

There is a great aunt on my ex H's side with the same name as DGD No 1 and a Great Great Aunt on my side with the same name as DGD No 2. I think DD was aware of the first one but not the second. So technically they are family names

I like the names that DD and her OH chose for my DGD's though DGD No 1 chose DGD's No 2 name tbh I know DD knew what she was going to choose. DGD No 1 is now 5 and DGD No 2 is 3 months old. Even if I hated the names, I wouldn't have said anything as they are her children not mine.

My DD2 did ask if they could give my DGD2 my name as her second name but didn't when I pointed out that although I was flattered it would upset the other DGM. They agreed and used a similar name. No disagreement, no falling out.

I don't think it has anything to do with the grandparents and don't like the pressure to use 'family' names.

Well I did not have a chance to name any of them one name given is now like a advert for a air fresh ironed anyway it grew on me

I agree we got to choose out childs names why should we expect to have a choice in what they call their children. I have a thirteen week granddaughter who`s due to be christened tomorrow I wasnt too keen on her name in the beginning to be honest it took me a couple of weeks to remember it and not keep getting the wording wrong but whatever her name it doesn't stop me loving her to bits. And I now also love the name my daughter chose it suits her.

Absolutely nothing to do with me I didn't expect to be consulted I didn't consult my family why would you? I liked all the names chosen.... personally I think it's awful of grandparents to expect any say in it, they didn't make the baby

have done the survey. I agree it is completely up to the Parents
to choose. They did have discussions with us in a light hearted way though ages before the Birth, and we all came up with many very strange suggestions .

The name they chose is lovely, but funnily enough not one that had ever been mentioned, and not named after anyone in either Family.

I completely agree with CassieJ, have to say though that I really like the names chosen for my four grandchildren

I am not sure why grandparents should be involved in the choice of names for their grandchildren? It is up to the parents what they call the child. I never asked or consulted my parents about what I was going to call my children, so I wouldn't expect to have any input on the choice of my grandchildren's names either.

Ooh Cherrytree I didn't notice that, I hope that was just a slip up with the writing of the post. Unfare otherwise.

I did complete the survey earlier

No prize for Gner??
