As you're probably guessed, I'm stuck for middle names!

None.

Unless you have a specific reason to want to include an extra name ( e.g for family reasons ) what are middle names for?

I haven't got one, DP hasn't : we never thought or talked about a middle name for DC.

My boy is due December and he'll have Aleksandr

LackOfAdhesiveDucks · 23/08/2016 21:42

Brock - family name (dad's middle name/grandmother's maiden name/cousin's first name)

OSETmum · 23/08/2016 21:40

Kirby

TitaniasTits · 23/08/2016 21:30

Um, Trevor or Bernard. Both for family reasons rather than because I like the names.

CalleighDoodle · 23/08/2016 21:28

Peregrine.

Advicepls7080 · 23/08/2016 21:12

Depends on first choice but most likely Leonard.

My sons middle name is Francis

Buttwing · 23/08/2016 21:10

Fox. I desperately wanted it for dc4 but dp wouldn't let me.

YerAWizardHarry · 23/08/2016 20:47

George. Already have one with William as middle name

Sierra259 · 23/08/2016 20:46

Robert - strong family name on both sides.

paddypants13 · 23/08/2016 17:16

John.

It's a name from both sides of the family and I do like a good solid name. (Some would say boring but I don't care.)

squoosh · 23/08/2016 17:14

A family name.

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 23/08/2016 17:09

Oscar. I like it, but not enough to use it as a first name inexplicably

5BlueHydrangea · 23/08/2016 17:07

James or Christopher

LBOCS2 · 23/08/2016 17:03

Anthony (it's a family name, almost all the men in DH's family have it somewhere in their name).

Having said that, reading this thread I've decided that I really really want a little boy so I can call him Gryffin. I LOVE it.

soundsystem · 23/08/2016 16:59

James

(My late granddad's name)

Horseshoe1 · 23/08/2016 16:56

Sebastian.
It depends on your first name choice but I like a long middle with a short first! Alexander also sounds lovely.

ArmyInRed · 23/08/2016 16:08

Benjamin.

HerRoyalNotness · 23/08/2016 16:07

Dane (my DB name and this will be our last)
DH wants Murphy (boy or girl(!) he is a movie buff, grrr)

SorenaJ · 23/08/2016 15:58

Christian. A family name.

MrsJoeyMaynard · 23/08/2016 15:19

I would like to use my dad's name, but DH isn't so keen as it's a bit dated to modern ears. Grandfather's names have all been taken either by our DS's or other family boys of a similar age.

itssquidstella · 23/08/2016 15:10

Gilbert or Montgomery

MrsGardenIng · 23/08/2016 15:02

Christopher or Alexander depending on the first name.

Strokethefurrywall · 20/08/2016 01:46

Scott Carlton would be the middle names. First name would be Griffin.

Scott is BIL name and Carlton is a family name which I love.

Both DS1 & 2 have two middle names.

MishMooshAndMogwai · 20/08/2016 01:33

Will

My late grandads name that is love for a first name but now have a william for a step son so that's that plan ruined! Grin
