I didn't think it was be that outing to share middle names.

Thanks to all. Interesting how they vary from first names 🤔

It is if the names are unusual, and that in combination.

Dorothy for my paternal grandmother
Blythe for my maternal great grandmothers surname

I STILL got in trouble for not using the "right" family names 🙄

DS - Andrew after my Dad
DD - Willow just because we liked it

Thank you for sharing 🙏

John Joseph.

Joseph is husband's middle name and also the name of my Pop who died when I was 6 months old.

John is after my other granddad who died aged 98. My son was born a day shy of what would have been his 100th birthday. They were also both born during pandemics.

Too outing to say.

Most will have Rose, May or James if past threads are anything to go by.

I really wanted to name my daughter Clarice!

Show quote history

Clarice is a super band, as is Clarrie for short. 😍

SahliJ · 13/10/2023 19:18

Eldest - dad’s middle name ( because his first is awful and we couldn't saddle a baby with it😂).

Second a feminised version of my middle name. ( agreed because I think my husband thought if he didn't agree I might want a third, to try for a little girl 🥰)

Clarice, my husband enjoyed Silence of the Lambs film at the time and liked the name 🤷‍♀️ My daughter would like it for her first name, she loves it.

Christina, after my gran.

spanieleyes · 13/10/2023 18:44

Eldest son has his fathers middle name which is also his grandfathers first name ( on his dad's side) Youngest has my surname before I married but adapted to be a middle name ( think- Peters to Peter - but not that!)

Ds 1 has a middle name that was between that and his first name. Couldn’t decide which one I preferred so had one as his first name and one as his middle name the way round that flowed best with surname.

ds2 s middle name is DP’s middle name

dd1 has my maternal grandmothers name as a middle name and her initials spell the name of my paternal grandmother which was by accident but I love it.

Rowgtfc72 · 13/10/2023 18:31

May. Middle name of both great grandma's.
