8 years ago,My parents got divorced. My mother,3 years later,died in a carcrash. I missed her dearly. My father got re-married 4 years later. She cheated on him and he found out 7 months after they had a baby,My baby brother. They divorced and when my brother was five,i got married. When he was about 10,i had a kid. He was very happy to be an uncle. When my daughter was 2 and he was 12,My father married. My father,3 years later,when my daughter was 5 and him 15,died. It has been two years and i am pregnant. We plan to name them after one of my parents. Thing is,i can't look at my child and see my parent. I just can't. I loved them too much to know they could not want to be a grandparent of someone named after them who in the future could be very unproductive because they were very strict of MY future and after my father remarried,My brothers future. I am very successful as a saleswoman selling houses,and my brothers got a part-time job at walmart at the time. I can't believe they are gone and i can't look at myself in the mirror and say 'My child is going to be a junior who never sees their grandparents on my half,and could be unsuccessful and tarnish my parents name of legacy and justice,My father being an officer of the law and my mother a teacher will hate me in their afterlife for making their grandchild a complete failure.' I need honest advice. Please?

They say 90% of success is just showing up, I think you will do much more for your child. The knowledge and techniques your parents used (good and bad) allows you to make some better choices. My advice is this: I want you to imagine your child as a torch bearer, and name them boldly.
