My ds Samuel after my brother, dad, grandad and great grandad and so on

Mine have classic middle names that I love the long forms of but not the diminutives. I used them as middle names because that way they can't be shortened.

PS my exH is Canadian and had a fondness for Red Adair as a child (I'd never heard of him until I met my ex) over 30 yrs ago

DD- Lilly Angel - after my beloved late Nan (exH also want to add 'snowflake' as it was snowing when she was born, but I convinced him otherwise.
DS- Red which was my exH choice for his first name but I vetoed it as our surname also starts with an R and I was concerned that he might have the speech condition that Johnathan Ross has, where he pronounces R as W.
There's Also lots of red hair in both our families.
He's an adult now and has neither.

Fraser, after my brother who we lost the year before I fell pregnant with DS. I love it and look forward to telling him about where his name came from when he’s old enough!

DD - her middles names are after her Grandmothers. Maternal grandmother died while I was pregnant with my daughter.

DS - same, but after his grandfathers.

@StopVotingToryYouTwats I'm 99.9% certain some of the answers are made up.

DS1s middle names are Ronald Thomas after 2 of his Great-Grandads.

DS2s is James. After DS1s godfather.

D'ya think? 😂

Mine are real. Both slightly unusual. I don't mind being outed!

Summermeadowflowers · 14/10/2023 04:40

DS has a good old welsh middle name!

DDs is Olivia. We didn’t know we were having a girl and only decided on her first name for definite when I was sitting holding her in hospital. I remember suggesting various middle names all of which DH pulled a face at, then I suggested Olivia and he smiled, so there it was!

Cumbrianlife · 14/10/2023 04:31

2 DS have our late DF's names
DD has a paternal cousin's. MIL wanted her named after her. I refused as it's awful but she couldn't complain because it was still a traditional family name.

Samuel, Adam & Lucas.

Fairly standard middle names I suppose. They all have rarer first names
