Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

You didn't have any say on the names of your kids? I'm surprised you didn't know about any former lovers at all. I'm not sure about others but I thought couples usually talk about stuff like that between eachother.

I believe #1 is implying that since OP's wife is into women he can get her to have threesomes.

F the kids lives! I'd be embarrassed if I was named after one of my moms former lovers. *shudder*

How do you know you weren't ?

The fact that she slept with a woman shouldn't bother you, but you definitely should ask your wife why she is still hung up on her past lovers.

She's with you and not her former lovers so I am assuming that she chose you over them since you are married and have children. The names could simply be because she liked them and thought that they would be good names. If you are concerned about the fact that she had a relationship with another woman (or that it is being implied) you should simply ask her about it. Besides, if she did have a relationship with a woman it should simply just be "unexpected" and not anything you should condemn her for. Granted the situation is a little awkward, but unless she is showing signs/signals of cheating or holding on to old feelings then it shouldn't be something you over-think. Hope the air clears between you to if it caused any problems! :)

I like some of the names of my exes, but I would never name my kids the same names. Generally, people see that as a cause of concern, or at the very minimal: creepy. The fact is, you keep your past lovers out of your current relationships. And naming your child after them shows that you don't quite want to let them go. It's such a permanent decision, and such a shame that her husband had to find out. And if she really simply liked the name, they should have had a conversation about it... BEFORE they named the kid.

What I'm most taken by is that OP didn't get to name any of his kids. I guess he's pretty laid back.

I'm just curious as to how you found out about this ...

Same here. Let's hope there's a follow up!

Curious as to the daughters name in this scenario. A ambiguous name like Shannon or a blatantly male name for a girl like Floyd.

Or op's wife could have slept with a woman?!!

Endless possibilities. Either way it can't be a good feeling.

Any suspicious pets in the family?

Ok, so your wife has had at least three past 'lovers' and one of them was a woman. Grow up, you've both had past relationships - the fact your wife has a more fluid sexuality than you doesn't affect your marriage.

I don't think the problem is that she has had past lovers, it's that they still mean enough to her to name her children after them.
