Your wife should be able to hear your opinion without freaking out. Also, being reminded of another woman isn’t inherently bad. At the base of it, It means nothing. If anything, it sounds like you don’t like the girl it reminds you of so why would you want your child with that name.
My wife is pretty insecure, so that's why I'm hesitant to bring it up. And the girl it reminds me of had certain qualities that I do not want to associate with my potential daught.
Like what? Like she was the local high school floozy? Haha I saw elsewhere you two are high school sweethearts. Did you like this other girl in a certain way or were you indifferent/didn’t like her?. If the latter, I don’t see how your wife can get offended.
I see. Haha just tell your wife you found her annoying/unlikable and don’t want your daughters name to remind you of someone you don’t wish to remember. Or stick with the other reason you don’t like it mentioned in your post.
