If you named your children after family members...

...which family members did you name them after?

I don't have any children but if I do have kids, a boy would get my maternal grandad and maternal great-grandads names as middle names (or twin boys would get one each). A girl will definitely get my maternal grandmas name and possibly my mums name (my mum hates her name but there are no alternatives to it) these would be all be middle names.

DD has my mum's first name as her middle name. My mum died before she could meet either DD or my nephew.

My son is named after his grandmother.

My daughter has my mum’s first name as her middle name, which is also my middle name too! My mum is incredible and has sacrificed a lot for me and my siblings, so it felt really special to incorporate her name into my daughter’s, and she was touched by the gesture.
