I've hormonally told my 11 year old dd that she can choose the middle name of her baby brother. BUT I did say 'within reason'. Anyone else done this? good/bad result? She is really pleased and reading all the name books. Hope she doesn't set her heart on something vile!

My 3yr old has middle names picked out for the eventuality of siblings. Luckily, her taste is perfectly acceptable.

I think it's really lovely.

I know of a family in fife who called their son Sonny Wolverene after the two big brothers were allowed a say in the middle name. Sounds a bit odd to me, but the family love it. Why not?
