when naming your children...?

That's exactly what my husband and I did. We agreed our first son or second daughter would have a middle name from my husband's side, and our first daughter or second son would have a middle name from my side. We just had our first son, and his name is James Kenneth. Kenneth's my husband's middle name, his dad and grandad's first name, and the first name of our BIL.

I think it's fairly common. My husband wants to give our first son the same middle name as his which is an old family surname. If we have a girl we want to name her Gail after my husband's late father Gale but we haven't decided on a middle name yet (we're leaning towards Marie, which is my middle name and a common name in my mom's family). My brother is named after my mother's grandfather and has the same middle name as my father and his father. Since we haven't really picked a name for a boy yet we are waiting to get our hands on some family trees to look at for inspiration. But either way the name has to be something that we like...or at least one of us likes and the other is at least lukewarm about.

I am expecting my second child. If it is a boy then his middle name will be Adam as this is my husband's middle name. If it's a girl we have gone away from naming after family.

My children will have a first and middle that I and my SO likes, then they will have a second middle name to honor family.

I don't have kids yet, but that is how my parent's did it. My middle name is my aunt's first name and my little sister's middle name is my grandma's first name.

My daughter's name is Kaylee Morgan. My husbands moms middle name is Kay, and my moms middle name is Lee. We put the 2 names together for Kaylee, then we both just liked Morgan. Don't know what I'll do if we have another though.

im not old enough to hae kids yet but when i do the only family name i think i will use is my grandmas name and i have a little cousin who died at the age of four that i will be naming one of my kids afterr.

my sister is named Holly Elizabeth and My mom is christine holly.

My uncle is Paul David and my cousin is David Paul.

My aunt is Kaltheen Rose and my great grandmother was Rosemary so my middle name is Rose.

Yes

My son's middle name is his father's name

His first name is Paul, after my favorite ex-Beatle

i don't have kids yet, but that's what i want to do

and my middle name is after my mom, and my younger sister's middle name is after our great grandma, great aunt, aunt, and grandma.
