I’m debating giving baby2 (if a girl) the feminised (sp?) version of child1’s middle name(boy), as a first name. It’s not a family name, just so happens we like both names.
Not the real names but imagine:
Samuel Patrick with younger sister Patricia. ‘Samuel’ is only known as Sam, doesn’t get full named often so few people actually know his middle name...
The fact I’m trying to defend the situation makes me think it’s weird though!
