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

William. Can't believe how many said the same!

Middle names are essential.
Everyone has that school playground conversation at some point, be very boring without one. My DS has his uncle's name as middle name. If I were to have another DS, which I won't, I'd use my late grandfather's name Ernest. Not James. Everyone has a relative with that middle name.

They'll all have (Russian) DP's first name as a middle/patronymical, so no need to choose. Rather relieved as choosing the first name is hard enough.

A family name

Sadly we never had children of our own

Definitely John. It's a good strong, masculine name.

Had a boy 2 weeks ago his middle name is Charles

Ashhead24 · 19/08/2016 21:51

None at all. They don't really have a purpose, no one really uses them, and most people hate theirs.

Yoghurty · 19/08/2016 21:48

James or Rory

duskonthelawn · 19/08/2016 21:46

James

I have two middle names, both of my grandmothers names. It's all rather long to fit on a form but I like having them. DP has no middle names and I think it's sad!

MrsGsnow18 · 19/08/2016 21:26

I prob wouldn't bother with middle names. I always hated mine growing hi and was too embarrassed to tell it to anyone, I hate seeing it on official documents.
DH doesn't have one and he always says he's glad he wasn't lumbered with one. They serve no real purpose.

Kiernan - family name
