Q. If in a second marriage, there are 2 kids from a previous marriage named after the mother’s side and one kid from a previous marriage after the father’s side and then they have a daughter together, does one follow the minhag of naming the fist kid after the mother’s side or do we say the mother has two and it is only fair that it is the father’s turn?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is that the most important and overriding rule in name giving is to maintain sholom bais and both parties should be forgiving and most tolerant. The name thus created and given, will bring the best mazal and hatzlacha to their child.
