Baby Names thread 2

[jb190281]

thought id start my own!

first of all, middle names - pointless or a nice addition?

secondly - if youve given your children middle names, did you consider their initials? is there something else id need to think of - dont want poor child with initials or a nickname because of my stupidity!

[zzxxee]

my daughters initials are cfp and blp so not to bad
i quite like the idea of middle names in fact i prefer my middle name to my first name

[ummmm]

My daughter is COD...if she doesn't include her middle name.

The middle name I have has been handed down from my great great grandmother I think... Technically it's actually part of my full name but think mum filled in the wrong bit on birth certifiate or something... God knows.

[zzxxee]

care to share what it is China ?

The daughter's middle name is Jane, from her great-grandmother, and it was worth it just to see the look on her grandad's face when we told him. No problem with initials SJD but we wouldn't have have opted for Teresa.

[ummmm]

My Nans middle name is Sinclaire.

[zzxxee]

one Daughters middle name is Leigh and my other daughters middle name is Faye

[redcrx]

my son has (as is tradition on fathers side) his dads name as his middle. I then wanted my grandads name and also my maiden name (i still use old divorced name) in there.

His initials are MMTCT lol

my daughter has just the one middle name and her initials are ART

My first ex's grandmother had the middle name Canute....

I think middle names are great! I gave both of my kids quite old fashioned 1st names (Nancy and Ivy) so decided to give them quite modern middle names (Scarlett and Lola) so that they can swap when they're older if they really hate their 1st names.

I Googled the initials before registering them both just to make sure that NSD and ILD didn't mean anything awful - I wanted to call 2nd daughter Violet, but the initails VD would've just been cruel!!

Its such a huge responsibility naming another human....have fun deciding! :)

I'm clearly craft's daugher is all I have to say on the matter.

But without the S. Or the D.

[redcrx]

lol, so am I, China. again without the S or D

[ummmm]

My middle name is Christine....

trickier naming daughters if there's a possibility that they will acquire another surname later in life. You have to check the whole alphabet for possible rude words. But I think middle names are just to distinguish one Mary Smith from another Mary Smith, which will make life a lot easier for your descendants when they're working on their family tree..

My Son's is after his great grandfather (and I love the name too) and his second and third given names are after my father, who died the year before my son was born, and after both his grandfathers (who had the same first name). His name actually makes him sound quite distinguished!!

My middle name is M-----n. I 'king hate it :-(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

[sherrardk]

My boys have their father's middle name as their third name (so they have two middle names) and we gave the girls my middle name as their third name so they wouldn't feel left out when they are older. We found it tricky to choose names as ex-teachers as a lot of names conjured up ex-students (not in a good way,).

[ummmm]

My OH's initials are M.T...his surname is Harte.

So we call him empty hart....
