Kseniya wants to name the baby Michael, precisely because she knows what it's like to have a name that's hard to pronounce. She is actually looking out for that baby's future. "At Least Spyridon goes well with the last name?" And what? Michael doesn't?

I've spent the majority of my life living abroad, and people have always been fascinated by my name. If I had a nickel for every time I've heard the response "You sound like a Greek god!" I'd probably be a billionaire.

Michael is too ordinary. Go with Spyridon.

I'm not even Greek and I think it's a great name - it'll be shortened in any case Kseniya!

Also, I should probably point out that the child will most likely be bilingual purely because the fetus understands and recognizes both parent's accents while still in the womb, so children with parents from different backgrounds typically learn both languages without even trying.
And if the mother tries to enforce her language against her husband's just to get even at said husband for not having a say in deciding the child's name, that is very, very wrong, and certainly not something you should advise a pregnant woman to start brooding over like a witch in a den waiting for the next ingredient for her concoction.

Hello,
I'm sorry, but genetic material is passed on from both parents equally. Children receive reshuffled versions of their parents' chromosomes. The genes will, nonetheless, be spread fairly. So, it would be extremely wrong of you to believe your children are replicas of yourself. The only bit of information the mother passes along exclusively is the mitochondrial DNA, without any recombination whatsoever, but this is a tiny percentage. Likewise, the Y chromosome is passed down strictly from the father to the son, but this, again, is fairly small information. The point is that a father should be happy that his child carries his legacy, anyways. His grandparents didn't know children carry on their blood, but he does. So, he should know better and stop this naming non-sense. They should both have a say, as parents. And now that you know your kids are not genetically all yours, but half yours, and half your husband's, how do you feel about letting him name them after his family only? Don't you feel like your own family was left out? Are you really going to carry on making excuses?
Here are some credible sources on contemporary genetics:

If you see it as a buisness transaction and not as one honouring ones word and respecting the other person in a decision they both made then I am sorry for you. I am ten times more fortunate and glad I am not married to you!!!

a family tradition should be kept... as long as her family's traditions are kept as well.
We named our son after my grandfather Andreas
