Anyone else’s second child have one of their first child’s middle names as their first?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Yes! My older son has my youngest son’s first names as his middle name, so for example Elliot - Jake, and Jake - Justin. That’s not their names but you get the idea.

My DH and his XW did this with their sons. It's not an issue, each individual child has a very ordinary name combination.

I know someone who did this. Opposite sexes though. Example: child #1 Samuel Justin. Child #2: Justine Sarah.

I know 2 sisters like this. Not real names but Jane Anne and Anne Louise.

There was a thread about this quite recently.

My dad's younger brother had my dad's second name as his first name. Like Louis in the RF, it was a family name.

Not me, but some friends I grew up with.

DD1 was Catherine Jane
DD2 was Jane Louise (not real names)

And one of Prince George's middle names is Louis
