I hate it so so much. DH won't budge. How much can a shitty middle name really affect a child?

First name we both love Samuel.

I like it! I immediately pictured a handsome man when I said the name in my head.

Tis DSSs middle name. Not sure it's ever affected him tbh. I know my kids don't use their middle names for anything. And it's not a bad name tbh!

I like it.

Start singing that Ernie the fastest milkman song until he's totally put off.

I don't think middle names matter that much. DH has a male friend with Mary as his middle name

I think it's really nice but if you don't, then don't!

Nobody needs to know his middle name. I'm not sure I know anybody's apart from family! And Ernest is cute anyway.

Ernest really isn't that bad! I think Samuel Ernest is rather handsome, actually. He can always tell people it's E for Edward or Eli or something if they ask.
