Middle name meaning?

How did you chose your dc's middle name? We are kind of stuck on the thought of using a family name but nothing is really going.

Did you just pick a name you liked?
Or did you use your parent or grandparent name?

Re: Middle name meaning?

My girls both have family names for middle names. Our new baby will as well.

Middle name meaning?

It was the first name Shaun suggested before we knew what we were having... i didnt want it as a first name because i have a cousin with that name... so i suggested it as a middle name and he said ok. He was super anal about her name so i was just happy to have something he liked.

If we have a boy his middle name will be DH's first name....if it's a girl we really don't know yet!

Middle name meaning?

we chose a name we liked (well, really, i chose a name i liked. DH wasn't gung ho about a middle name at all) but the middle name. Grace, is also my mother's name

Re: Middle name meaning?

For our DD, and for this baby too, we picked a middle name we liked and that flowed well with the first name. We aren't into the naming after family thing.......I wanted to be able to choose names I liked even if they had nothing to do with family.

Re: Middle name meaning?

Our middle names were def going to be family names. If we had a boy, the middle name would have been my dad's name.
We are having a girl and her middle name will be Christina, after my sister.

Re: Middle name meaning?

dd middle name is after my dh's grandmother that died shortly before she was born

and ds middle name is after St Jude a saint my mother often prayed too, she too is deceased

Re: Middle name meaning?

I picked the name of one of my grandfathers. He passed away right before our wedding but was just the most amazing person and did so much with us growing up. He was actually my mom's step father so we made it the middle name so as not to ruffle any feathers since even if we have other children I won't be naming them after other relatives.

Re: Middle name meaning?

My Ds and the baby we are having will both have family member names as middle names

Re: Middle name meaning?

We have 1 boy and 1 girl name picked out and in both cases we will use deceased grandparents names as middle names. Boy- my grandfather, girl- DH's grandmother.

Re: Middle name meaning?

Lo will have dh's first name... If we were having a girl she would have my middle name

Middle name meaning?

We are using my maiden name Rosa as LO's middle name. It worked out for us since we are having a girl...and it is a nice and short name with 4 letters that just works. DH said I will never give up that name! lol

LO will have my father's name as his middle name. If we have another boy, he will have my FIL's name as his middle name. If we happen to have a 3rd boy, I will pick another name (grandparent or something) for the middle name of that one! Girls will have my mom's and his mom's names for middle names if we ever have girls!

Middle name meaning?

All the milestones in ex DH and I's life ( engagement, wedding, bridal shower...etc) it ALWAYS rained on those days. For one reason or another it was always raining. So when DD was born we decided that all of our big moments should include "Rain"...

My DD name is Katia Rain :)

DS's middle name is my father's first name.
DD's middle name is just one that we loved.

Re: Middle name meaning?

My son's middle name is my husband's first name.

My daughter's middle name will be my mother's first name.

It was important to me that my children carry on my parents' names. My son's middle name would have been after my father; however, my husband is a III and he was insistent that our son NOT be a IV. So we gave him my husband's name as a middle name. In hindsight, I wish I gave my son two middle names so that he'd still have my father's name on his birth certificate.

Re: Middle name meaning?

Both my daughters have middle names that are a tribute to grandmothers. Jewish loophole allows us to use the first initial of the name, so DD1's middle name is Brooke (for Beulah) and DD2's middle name is Hope (for Harriet).

My DD's middle name is my mother's name.
