Middle Name?
DD has a middle name. DH does not want to give a middle name to DC #2.
Do you think it's strange or unfair to give one child and middle name and not the other?
Did anyone not give their child a middle name?

Middle Name?
I've always found it odd but I figure the parent must have a reason. I have issues with symmetry so I couldn't give one a middle name and not the other.

Re: Middle Name?
I personally think its weird to not have a middle name and in your case, if your DD already does have one than I think your next child should too.

Re: Middle Name?
Not that you can predict what your baby will be when he/she grows up, but law firms usually have their lawyers go by their three initials. For example "ABC". Also, when using full names everybody always uses their middle initial on letters and papers and stuff. I have a few colleagues who don't have middle names and for whatever reason it really bothers them. for our computer systems those people have to have a letter "X" or "Z" put in the place of the middle name. Lol, as I write it, it seems like not a big deal at all but for whatever reason the people this happens to seem to be frustrated by it. I've become so used to it that if my middle initial gets left off of something I get annoyed!
Long story short, might be nice to just give your child the option of having that middle name. If they don't want to use it, they never have to.

Re: Middle Name?
Neither me, DH, DD or my next have / will have middle names. I think that its not necessary to give DC#2 a middle name just because the first has one. Does the flow of DC#1's name just sound better with a middle name? If that's not the case for DC#2 then I think it's fine to leave it out.

Re: Middle Name?
My DH does not have a middle name. His brother does have one and he jokes but I know it bothers him. I have a middle name and so does my brother. Our DS has one too. I am a fan of middle names so I will always be insistent on it.
We as parents, can drive ourselves crazy anticipating what our future DC will or will not have problems with. Your DC might never even care, if they do can you add a middle name legally later in life? This could be fun for DC too b/c than he/she can pick it themselves.

That's what I was thinking! The second I heard my first and middle names together I knew I was in trouble. My mom still says it sometimes If I say something she doesn't like.

This is the same with my mom and her siblings - she doesn't have a middle name and the rest of them do.

Middle Name?
no one in my immediate family has a middle name, except my mom and she thinks its weird that she has one. i have no idea why. i always liked the idea of a middle name. no one in DH's family has a middle name either, except his sister, and we all think its weird that she has one and none of the other siblings do.
DD will have a middle name. I like the way both names flow together. When (hopefully) we have more children, it will depend on what we choose for their first names whether they will have a middle name, athough i will try to give them a middle name no matter what, sinc etheir sibling already has one. But, if it just doesn't go/flow well, i'm not going to beat myself up over it either.

Re: Middle Name?
Why doesn't your DH want to give this baby a middle name?
I always find middle names helpful for ID purposes. There might be more than one John Smith, but maybe not more than one John Robert Smith, KWIM?
DH and I decided that each of our children will have a middle name that honors a deceased relative, so they're doubly important for me.
